For about 3 months, my wife and I had been looking forward to this past weekend.  We were taking Pea to a friend's cottage just outside of Ottawa for the first time, and we were eager to see how Pea would react to a lake front environment and the potential for water games and other outdoor … [Read more...]

Am I the only mom dreading back-to-school??

August 28, 2009 by Jen

Both in real life and online moms everywhere are counting down to back-to-school and some have already expressed their glee regarding their Boards early start to the school year. I, however, am not. I am plugging my ears and shouting "I can't hear you!" at the top of my lungs. I don't know why … [Read more...]

Cottage Life

July 29, 2009 by amreen

Another rainy day

July 24, 2009 by amreen

What summer is this!  I'm finding it hard to keep my spirits up when every day it feels more and more like November. Ugghhh.  My spirits are low, and my kids are cranky.  I've decided that the only strategy possible is to keep busy and to forge ahead with plans despite nature's lack … [Read more...]

Bonfires and Cloudbursts and Marshmallows (Oh, My!)

July 17, 2009 by Kath

On Wednesday, I voluntarily missed So You Think You Can Dance. (I know! ZOMG!)But actually, it was worth it. See, my girls and I had been invited to a bonfire at -- wait for it -- my husband's-step-sister's-godfather's cottage. And that's not even as confusing as the driving directions for getting … [Read more...]

Lessons from the Mother of the Year

July 30, 2008 by Jen

To my 5 year old daughter one's age is a direct reflection of their status. Height helps but age is key. In her camp group she knew everyone's age to the 1/2 or 3/4 year but could only identify one or two of the group by name. This weekend I had some insight into exactly why this is so important in … [Read more...]
