Knock knock. Remember me? It's been awhile. A very long while. Father's Day was my last post because I can never miss that one. I've missed writing and I've thought about it so many times. Life gets in the way sometimes. This week, following an un-stellar parenting Sunday, a friend of mine … [Read more...]
Change for the New Year
As we get ready to say good bye to 2013, we reflect on all of the things that have taken place over the past 12 months. The good. The bad. The ugly. Our family grew by one. An adorable furry 1. I became a published author. We tried new things. And they didn't always work out. But as … [Read more...]
#DreamShare
When I was a kid, my dream was to be a BC Lions cheerleader and a dentist. Something about sparkly Spandex booty shorts and power tools just spoke to me, I guess. The great thing about Canada is that no matter how ridiculous or misguided your dream is, the odds of you achieving it are a lot higher … [Read more...]
Had a Blass!
Beautiful location, over a dozen hilarious women (and one funny fella!), amazing food, and a few (too many?) glasses of cold, delicious wine? I had it all, my friends, and it was fabulous. [View the story "HadABlass" on Storify] … [Read more...]
I cannot do it all.
I finally admitted to myself yesterday that I could no longer manage my beloved community garden plot; it was a wonderful place to go ... when we lived on the west side and could walk to it. But we moved this past autumn, and going there had become a chore. I loved it, and it broke my heart to leave … [Read more...]
PUBLISHED! (and a giveaway!)
As far back as my memory serves me, I have loved writing. I was a total bookworm growing up and always had my nose between the pages of a book. I had journals and diaries. I would staple stacks of paper together to write stories in and (very badly) illustrate them. Eight years ago while we … [Read more...]
words for Wednesday on Monday because I can’t wait – why we do what we do
" I paint flowers so they don't die" Frida Kahlo This is why we write too. I like what Anais Nin said about that- "I write to taste life twice" yup. exactly and sometimes too to make sense of it. … [Read more...]
Write Wing
I've been reading some Anne Lamott. If you haven't read any of her books, you really need to. She is just fantastic. Her prose jumps right off the page and paints the most beautiful images for the mind and the stories she tells make me laugh and give me shivers and make me want to take the time to … [Read more...]
Dear Readers, I can’t look you in the eye…
To my dear reader(s) My name is Heather and I am a deliquent blogger I've been sulking and hiding from my cyberspace for a few months I've had writers … [Read more...]
What’s My Representation?
I am a blogger and I love it. I consider it a vocation and it is almost (but not quite) the best vocation I have ever had. There is only one job I have held that is better than blogging, and that is being a mother. And when push comes to shove, I will always be a mother first and a blogger … [Read more...]
