My favourite thing about kids is the randomness that comes out of their mouths. I would love to get inside their little heads one day to see where all their thoughts come from. They don’t think like we do, for example, as an adult we think logically: 2 + 2 = 4. A kid thinks 2 + a unicorn = tennis … [Read more...]
Wednesday Nights
(This picture isn't from Halloween but rather from a Wednesday night in June) My wife and I have a fairly new thing, we both get a night out a week. It’s not every week but we do try to do a little something for us. I play in a dart league in Acton on Thursday nights and Charlene goes out for … [Read more...]
A Born Performer
This morning I dropped Cuyler off at camp. The previous 3 years I've dropped him off at Adventure camp at the local community centre. This year we'll be taking a different route and I will be dropping him off at our local performing arts theatre. At his insistence I signed him up for Theatre … [Read more...]
What happened to all those pennies?
The pennies are gone. Other than the handful you may still have wedged in between the couch cushions or lost in the abyss (aka the purse) somewhere, they are no longer wanted...although students from across Canada would tell you they are still needed. In fact, more than 3000 schools and thousands of … [Read more...]
Rounding the Canadian Corner
Funny thing about memories is that you just never know when you are creating them. I personally think I spend too much conscience thought trying to carve out memories for my boys, forgetting that its not my responsibility nor within my ability as a father (or a human for that matter) to create … [Read more...]
Fresh strawberry spelt muffins
Happy Canada Day weekend everyone. We've been keeping things pretty low-key since I could have this babe any day now. Sadly I'm missing my best friend's bachelorette weekend, patio drinks and all around good long weekend fun, but it will be worth it right? My mind is elsewhere anyway. So much … [Read more...]
Bukkit, bukkit, bukkit, he sings.
At 19 months, I think it's safe to say that babyhood is over, and what has emerged out of it is now a full-blown person. The weird little quirks that make a person unique are emerging every day; the boy spins, and dances, and sings. He makes faces. He covets - there is a boy named Jojo at his … [Read more...]
Last Day Lunch Lament
Last day of school! Last day of making lunches! Based on the groundswell of social media lament, it seems I am not alone in my celebration of no more lunch making. Today’s last lunch was pretty weak. It consisted of the following: Two plums (starting off well!), two pepperettes (uh oh), … [Read more...]
Styling “The Bump” for Every Stage
Last week I was invited by Yorkdale to flaunt my maxed out bump on Canada AM. The focus of the segment was maternity style at every stage and stylishly presented by fellow blogger and Yorkdale Style Council Member, Iva Grbesic. I was outfitted in an awesome high-low dress from Thyme Maternity … [Read more...]
Pick That Up
Have you ever thought about how much stuff you pick up in the course of a day? I never thought much about it; it's just something you do day in and day out. I guess cleaning up after your kids should come as no surprise. You don't hear too many kids suggesting they put away their dinner plate before … [Read more...]
