The days are long but the years are short. These are the very wise words passed along to me years ago by an experienced mom in the midst of my post-partum sleepless nights and endless crying jags (mine and baby's). These words were food for thought when my babies were small as I knew one day they … [Read more...]
In Her Sights
This photo kind of sums up my relationship with Avelyn these days: she holds high-powered emotions in her hand and I am in her sights, ready to catch the brunt of her 7 year-old angst and it's making me a little crazy and I wish there were dollar bills flying in the air to pay for all of the stuff … [Read more...]
How Rude!
[youtube id="gcyOoPDlSuU"] How rude indeed. Holy crap. Please explain my split personality child. The sweetest, most funny, loving boy turns into the RUDEST kid ever in a split second. He gets lippy, talks back, rolls his eyes. He reminds me of Sharon from the Y&R. For real! I'm at a … [Read more...]
The Dust has Settled
I'm baaaack. So apparently I took my own advice and just checked out for the whole summer. Moving forward I promise to post more regularly. We have had one of the most insane two months of our lives and that's why I haven't been writing, despite having so much to write about! As you know on … [Read more...]

I kissed her feet and offered her the name of a good optometrist. I wish. Second year University. She told me she wished … [Read more...]

We have teenage daughters, and so naturally there are quite a few pictures of you studly gentlemen to wade … [Read more...]
Expecting Better – Advice To The Knocked Up
I love the weekend routine. Coffee. Paper. Front porch. One ear tuned to Scooby Doo on Youtube to make sure Velma and Daphne aren't making out in a homemade video (oh yes that happened). This week, an article in the National Post grabbed my attention. Why Some Pregnant Women are Ignoring … [Read more...]

I have the happiest toddler in all the land, at least for tonight. … [Read more...]
My Third’s Third
Brinley turned three today. I couldn't help but think back to her fast and furious entrance into this world at 3 am, and how she was the world's cutest baby and then became a bit of a terror when she turned two and is still so stinkin' cute but such a little brat sometimes. Love that little … [Read more...]
