His Current Obsession

February 10, 2009 by Jen

Of course I love my children. And, like most moms, I think they are totally the bomb. But part of this is that there are things I truly admire about them.

When a field of flowers looks like Starbucks

April 7, 2008 by Jen

We are urban dwellers. We live in a typical Toronto neighbourhood. We are near the subway, near the high street, and our house is very close to our neighbours. We share a driveway and have a postage stamp backyard. My kids spend far more time at the school playground or park then in their backyard. … [Read more...]

Hey! Get your mind out of the gutter. I am a married woman! Plus, my mom and my sister-in-law (not to mention my sexiest-man-alive husband *sheepish grin*) read this blog so...as IF.
