The Dirty Talk… No, Really

May 29, 2014 by Sonya 1 Comment

It's been a long week rushing to meetings, making deadlines, going to little one's spring concert and school and rushing off to tennis lessons. So, where do you find the time for each other? You know what I mean? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink! Katrina McKay is just like you and me. Easy going and fun … [Read more...]

The Ex-Files Social For Single Parents

May 14, 2014 by Sonya 3 Comments

I recently had coffee with my friend Erin. She's one of those amazing people that looks for the good amongst the sea of potential darkness. We sat down over macarons and she told me that she and her husband had recently separated. Thump. Just like that my heart sank. "But it's okay," she … [Read more...]

Aging Gracefully?

March 31, 2014 by Sara 4 Comments

This month I turn 45 years old. It's an interesting number for me. I feel, given the longevity of most women in my family (besides my mom), like it's the half way mark. It also came to me this weekend that in my 45th year, I will have had my step-mother in my life for half the time that I had my … [Read more...]

Married With Children? This Post Is For You.

February 13, 2014 by Jen 2 Comments

Remember last week when I posted about this and told you that I wasn't really into Valentine's Day but if I was I would definitely make that happen? Well, I did it! The last year has been really crazy with our home renovation and me heading back to a full-time job so I decided it was high time Imy … [Read more...]

A Valentine’s Day Retreat

February 7, 2014 by Jen 3 Comments

Have you ever gone all out and done something really special with your Valentine? I am not a Valentine-y kinda person and we're not a Valentine-y kinda couple. It all just seems a little contrived and a lot of pressure. So we usually do something for the kids, acknowledge that we love each other … [Read more...]

How to celebrate romance in the city? We check in with the Chef Concierge at the Four Seasons!

January 21, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

I started thinking about Valentine's Day a few weeks ago when hubby asked where I wanted to go for dinner around Valentine's. He loves celebrating all those special days throughout the year. Around the same time of his inquiry, I bumped into Liloo Alim at an event and we had a nice chat. She's one … [Read more...]

The Journey to Death

December 12, 2013 by Jen 7 Comments

How can I know about dying and how I want to live my journey if I don't open myself up fully to the experience? As I watched my sister-in-law this past summer and now my good friend go through the deaths of their mothers, as I hold their hands, share my wisdom and cry tears of loss and gut … [Read more...]

Hope Takes Flight

December 12, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

It was the summer of 2009, and I was at one of my lowest points. My mother was dying, and my sisters and I, along with our dad and my brothers in law, stood vigil by my mother's bed in the palliative care unit at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Canada’s leading cancer research centre and one of the … [Read more...]

13 Years

November 1, 2013 by Sara 5 Comments

Tomorrow will mark 13 years since my mom died. 13 years. I often find today to be the harder milestone. The day that she died I was relieved that she wouldn't have to go through another night like she had the night before. I was relieved that my father wouldn't have to and selfishly, that we … [Read more...]

A Little Tenderness

November 1, 2013 by Nancy 12 Comments

My father died this week after a long battle with dementia. It is many things I am coming to understand; painful, surreal, a blessing,  darkness,  light, a terrible sadness, a relief. When I understood he was gone, I felt a feeling I had never felt before. I felt my shoulders go up and down. … [Read more...]
