A friend of mine rolled through town the other day... he was only going to be in Montreal for 36 hours before heading to New York (next stops Stockholm and Paris) and asked if I had time to do a little photo shoot with my family, since one of the things he does is take pictures. Oh hells to the … [Read more...]

From My Closet – September 26th, 2012
The other day, while shuffling things around in my closet, purging and whatnot, I came upon my short stack of too-warm-for-summer pants, that I pile behind the "wear now" stack - it looks tidier on the shelf this way, and I don't have to balance, like, 12 pairs of pants in a wobbly tower all the … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – November 16th, 2011
So, I've had to do a bit of shopping in a hurry for these kids, since they've suddenly grown like bad weeds, and nothing fit. Enter Old Navy. I find their stuff can be hit or miss from season to season. (I'm not finding a whole lot for my son there at the moment.) But there's LOTS of cute stuff for … [Read more...]
From My Closet – November 9th, 2011
It's downright balmy outside today, especially for November. I've decided to break out this sweater, which I don't wear very often, and is a bit of an oldie, but still a goodie. It's got a wide bat-wing sleeve, which doesn't fit well under any of my coats (are you sad for me yet?) but she is a … [Read more...]
From My Closet – October 27th, 2011
Well, you are what you wear. *snickers* I picked up this t-shirt at Forever 21 the other day, and actually, I saw the back of it first... I thought if that shirt is in any way not horrible, then it's coming home with me. And then I saw the front. So, now it's mine. I'm getting ready to make pumpkin … [Read more...]
Thankful, and a little bit sad
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at the Sausage. I love Thanksgiving. We always have lots of people from my Mom's side of the family. There are also always friends. This year we were missing some key people, my step-daughters, my cousin Scott and a many others, so there … [Read more...]
Fall
So yesterday morning I woke up and realized that the unusual feeling that I was experiencing was that of being well-rested. In the next breath I felt guilty, because my being well-rested meant that my poor long-suffering husband had been up with the kids for hours. I sprang out of bed, fully … [Read more...]
The Fall of The Year
The Boy was so tired this morning that I actually had to carry him downstairs, all fifty pounds of him resting limply against me. One of my friends is TINY - teeny! - this pretty 100 pound girl, and she has two heavy little boys who frequently want to be carried and I wonder how she manages. Luckily … [Read more...]
