Back in the fall, there was an assembly at the boys school and the cross country runners were presented with their ribbons. Cam was one of them. Once his name was called I could hear Cuyler in the crowd starting to cry and fuss. I could hear him and through his jargon figured out … [Read more...]
Trying out Supperworks
Sometimes I'm really organised and we have lovely dinners, complete with salads and even dessert. Then there are those weeks, when someone's sick, or there are too many hockey/soccer games and it's a dinner disaster. Once in a while, cereal for dinner (or grilled cheese, toast with eggs, … [Read more...]
Got Guilt?
I have mentioned before that I'm Irish. First generation Canadian. My oldest sister was born in Belfast. Irish is even my nickname. Therefore I must always have a sense of guilt about me for something at all times. It's innate and I see it in my sisters. We must … [Read more...]

Life Without A DVR
I know. The horror. But honestly, I have a good excuse. Well, actually I have a good (well at least decent) excuse for my absence here at Urbanmoms.ca over the last month. You see my little family went from this... to this....A little over a month ago. We moved from a … [Read more...]
Thanksgiving: The Menu
Pardon my sparse writing. I just put the dishes away, and I'm too, too full. I've been cooking all day, and loved every minute of it. I only do a turkey dinner once a year, but I enjoy the process and do feel proud when the splendid turkey graces the table in all it's grandeur. I will … [Read more...]
