The Non Birthday Birthday Post

January 27, 2014 by Sara 3 Comments

Today is my sister's birthday. It's one of those milestone ones that make the person forget they're actually only just a day older than they were yesterday. When my sister Sherrill turned 50 last year, I made her a video. Suzanne emailed me and said 'it's incredible but do something like that for … [Read more...]

Dear Will’s 15 Year-Old Self

July 25, 2013 by Sara 1 Comment

My baby is turning five on Monday.  FIVE FREAKING YEARS OLD.  Stop the damn clocks already.  I need to apologize to every person whose eyes I wanted to tear from their sockets when they said that the time will fly.  Okay.  You were right.  I'm finding it sort of unreal that the 5 pound, hairy lump … [Read more...]

Twelve

April 9, 2013 by Christine 4 Comments

When I think back to 12 years ago today, I remember being the heaviest I've ever weighed. I was swollen beyond recognition and had zero feeling in my hands due to extreme water retention - also known as edema. Ahhh pregnancy, you were very unkind to me back in 2001. I really wish I had a photo to … [Read more...]

Neuf.

February 12, 2013 by Tracey

My boy got busy turning nine last weekend, which really feels different than his last few to me. I see a real growth change in him - longer in the legs all of a sudden. Nice posture, too. And next year we begin the double-digits (from here on out, I guess!) and I feel his "small boy" years are … [Read more...]

Look who turned 2!

January 31, 2013 by ChantelK

Hard to believe but the twins turned 2 the other day!  Really though I am not sure who was more excited the other children or Thatcher and Tanner! As soon as they woke up the other children were all over the twins screaming out Happy Birthday and helping them open presents! Not too sure if … [Read more...]

The Birthday Linger

January 30, 2013 by Tracey

Our little Madame turned five about a week ago, and I haven't felt terribly rushed about writing a birthday post about it all, since we're good at s t r e t c h i n g things out. We don't just celebrate the day, but around these parts, we're big on savouring the all the birthday time, slurping it … [Read more...]

the many gifts of my birthday

January 29, 2013 by Nancy

So this is how it began.  I decided to throw myself a party and invite all the people I love.  I wanted a costume party not because I like costume parties(at all) but because I wanted to wear a really short skirt, false eyelashes and go go boots. If I had worn these without calling it a … [Read more...]

My Good People and The Abundance of Friendship

November 23, 2012 by Tracey

I have a bevy of excellent neighbourhood peeps. Since the less-than-warm temps of October, and with the suddenly-dark afternoons since turning the clocks back a few weeks ago, the leisurely summertime sit-downs on park benches with my peeps while we watch the kids play, sometimes with a cup of … [Read more...]

notes to my daughter-you were born out of love

November 23, 2012 by Nancy

Dear Charlotte; Today you are 18 and it is the first time since you were born that you did not wake up just close to me to have presents on my big bed.  It is as warm and sunny a day as the day we checked into the hospital. But when you were born 12 hours later you brought our first … [Read more...]

my favourite thing of the week- hysterical laughter

November 18, 2012 by Nancy

You know those traditions that are dead simple yet you would walk on coals to maintain and uphold  them?  One of my favourite traditions is birthday dinners with two of my favourite girls. Scenario is always the same- drinks at one person's house  and then a walk to a local restaurant where … [Read more...]
