Art is an outlet for me...like maybe running, or tennis is to others. It gives me a break to release energy and I come out totally refreshed after I've completed a painting. I've been painting mostly for myself but I started to show them in public when I joined the local artist group over 8 years … [Read more...]
Destiny and Adoption…
I read an article a while back about a study that was done asking parents that became parents through adoption about their belief in destiny. Basically what was found is that a high proportion of this group believed that destiny had played a hand in their path to their children. … [Read more...]
Sweet ‘n’ Sour
The day Brinley turned two, she also turned sour.The formerly dreamy baby was gone and in her stead came a shrieking, hair-pulling, defiant little turd. She's still totally cute, but she is TROUBLE.Don't get me wrong, there are still many moments of sweetness, but she has thrown off my parenting … [Read more...]
There’s a Hailo waiting for you.
It's getting cooler out. No denying it. But you still need to get from point A to point B.While there are no shortages of taxi and black car services now in Toronto, hailing one is a bitch sometimes in this crazy city that seems to be running all the time.

Amazing lunch recipe from Chef Corbin!
Who's already tired of sandwiches? My kids take lunch to school most days but they are already whining about sandwiches, leftovers and soups. I don't blame them. I mean, we've raised them to enjoy a variety of foods so I'm not surprised that they are interested in something a little difference once … [Read more...]

Last week I wrote about how it all started. Today, I'd like to address where we've ended up - at least in terms of what to call what we're doing. There's a lot of labeling in our world. It's certainly easier to judge someone when you can shoehorn them into a box and slap a label on the outside. … [Read more...]
THE HOARDER
I remember years ago sitting in the waiting area of our Doctors office. Another parent who was also waiting saw my son holding some Pokemon cards and made a comment about how her son also liked Pokemon and collected the cards as well. At that time I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy … [Read more...]
