Recently I was with a group of people talking and somehow the topic of ADHD came up. As the conversation carried along I was surprised to hear so many complain of how many Doctors just like to slap children with the diagnosis and push medication on them. As well, they claimed that there … [Read more...]
On Being a Woman on Her Own.
I don't leave my family often. That is to say, I don't travel much, and so far, since my children have been born, I've been away via airplane exactly three times. Thrice, in nine years. (Well, it's actually four times, if you include the time I stayed in a hotel for two nights by myself, but that … [Read more...]

You Gotta Have Friends…But a BFF??
I have two favourite times of the day. The first happens usually around 6:10 when the bean lying next to me starts to shift around, poke me in the legs to make sure I'm there, and then he smiles and comes out with his first nugget of the day:Mom. Uncle John in the coolest dude.Mom. You … [Read more...]
Testing Testing
That's all Cam is doing now. Testing our patience. Testing his limits. Testing his boundaries. I am assuming/hoping that this is a normal tween characteristic. From what we are hearing he's not the only 11 year old who is a complete jerk all the time. He doesn't listen. He doesn't do what … [Read more...]
My Daddy’s a Rockstar!!!
I don't obsess over Will not having a dad. It's funny. You know what you know and since he's never had one, this is our normal. Frankly, besides Father's Day or when Will is doing something particularly annoying (which he couldn't POSSIBLY have inherited from me), I don't really think about his … [Read more...]
Me time

Easier said than done. Between Cam's hockey schedule (Sean is head coach), Sean's work schedule and our … [Read more...]

No my friends, unfortunately there is a very unexciting reason.My laptop decided it was time to depart from me.It … [Read more...]

Now that Will is a seasoned school veteran...you know, two months into JK, I'm starting to get into this whole school thang - and I love it.I'm on the Board at his daycare; I've gone in to meet with his kindergarten teacher; and I'm looking forward to getting involved with his school. I was a … [Read more...]
Here we go again
I've written before about my total aversion to loose teeth. I have three children. There is no way I was going to avoid dealing with loose teeth. I knew that I was going to go through it all over again with Eva. It has started. A few weeks ago Sean darted upstairs to find out why Eva was … [Read more...]
