A Time For Endings And New Beginnings

June 30, 2016 by Erin Silver Leave a Comment

I can hardly believe the school year is over. I think back to my boys' very first day at their new school this past September. I was so nervous I didn't think I'd get through drop off without crying myself. I remember how I stressed when I needed to send in a family photo. Should I send in an old … [Read more...]

The Best Gift Ever

Times they are a-changin’

March 4, 2013 by Jen

My life has been a whirlwind over the last few months and I feel that I have finally come up for air. Last week I spent 5 days on a beach with an old friend with the goal of perspective-getting and it worked. Before arriving at The Crane Resort in Barbados I had been able to make little sense of … [Read more...]

Farewell to an Old Friend

January 29, 2012 by amreen

It's a part of our house.  Sitting there, in all it's majesty, holding court in the Room of Babies. Give and take a few months here and there, it has been the night-time home to our babies for almost 9 years.    So many mornings of my life have entailed going into that room and … [Read more...]

Focus 2011: Me.

January 3, 2011 by Jen

Many people see New Years as a time for reflection and resolution. What did I learn in the previous year and where do I want that to take me in the year to come? Ever since my mom passed away I have been doing this "check" on an ongoing basis. I promised myself that I would live a full and happy … [Read more...]

October 20, 2010 by Jen

One of the things we worry about as parents is that our kids will give up on something too soon. That they won't give it a fair chance. Sometimes we worry that our child will be a quitter. But what happens when it might actually be time to quit?My son started playing competitive soccer kind of by … [Read more...]

Chemical Soup

September 8, 2010 by erinlittle

Reading Jen's post about eating more organic and fresh foods, has inspired me to write about the chemical soup that our bodies have become.  If you really think about it, what goes into many Canadian and American bodies is plain scary.  Just watch The Meatrix, Food Inc., or Jamie Oliver's … [Read more...]
