I wrote about Eva's gorgeous hair here.It appears she has called my bluff. After her bath the other night, we were fighting about brushing the tats out. She wanted nothing of it. I wouldn't let her have her bedtime snack until I was able to get her brush through it.I told her if this is what I have … [Read more...]
We Are Not Wildrose
I've lived here for nigh on fifteen years and I'm still baffled by the politics of this place. As a civic-minded individual, I've voted in every single election for which I've been eligible to vote - following my conscience every single time. In Alberta, that means that I've never ever (not even … [Read more...]
The Girl In the Striped Pajamas
48 hours of vomitting, one febrile seizure, relentless fever, endless diarrhea and two trips to the hospital.

A Couch of Her Own
Before I had my girls, I knew of friends with young daughters and they would regale me with tales of how their little ones cuddled on the couch with each other, played with one another's hair, and snuggled in bed together. Cute little loving sisterly moments, I was sure they were headed my … [Read more...]
Pizza Bread! Yet another delicious lunchtime solution!
For as long as I can remember, I've been eating the most delicious little pizzas purchased from my local bagel joint.
