Flexible Employment

July 29, 2008 by Jen

In playgrounds everywhere moms can join the great debate of staying at home with children vs. returning to work. For many women the choice can be painful and gut-wrenching and feel like an all or nothing decision.  But does it have to be? Most moms will agree – a happy mom means a happy … [Read more...]

2 Nights in a Tent

June 10, 2008 by Jen

Well folks, I did it. Yup. I slept 2 whole nights in a tent! A real tent in a real campground. And the second night it even rained. The strangest part is, I actually had a good time. As you can probably tell I was none too keen on the camping component of this visit to see my sister. Our trip to … [Read more...]

What Does it Take to Adopt a Baby in this Province?

February 11, 2008 by Unknown

Patience. Patience. More Patience. Some dollars to throw at the problem. Oh yeah, and patience. Our journey to adopt began before we even had the Gaffer. One very short-sighted and pessimistic gynecologist told me I would never, under any circumstances conceive, and if I did manage to do so,  … [Read more...]

Back home

January 5, 2008 by Jen

We got home last night after two busy, fun weeks in Calgary.  It was great to come home and sleep in our own beds, but sad to leave my loving in-laws out west.  The trip was filled with special moments that will become treasured memories.  Here's a pic of my father-in-law aka … [Read more...]

Posting from out West

December 23, 2007 by Jen

It's a beautiful, clear day in Calgary.  As I sit at the computer, I've got a spectacular view of the mountains and the Elbow River (see left) from the nearby window. We arrived on Friday to spend the holidays with my in-laws, and it's been so much fun already.  The kids were welcomed at … [Read more...]

$2 in Nickels and The Santa Shuffle

December 5, 2007 by Jen

Do you ever have those days where nothing seems to be going your way? That day is today for me. First of all I was giving my cleaning lady her holiday bonus cheque and drew a complete mental blank on her name. She has been with me for almost a year and have never had this problem before but now that … [Read more...]

Just when you think she’s all grown up…

November 24, 2007 by Elizabeth Rush Brooks

Actually, after 20 years of working with teenagers, I rarely think they are all grown up, but they do. Some of them think that at 12, like my buddy Sirtalksalot, but this post his about his big sister. Cupcake turns 17 on Tuesday, she has a part-time job, a full time, long term boyfriend, is in her … [Read more...]

Catholic Guilt

November 21, 2007 by Unknown

There is a great line in " The Commitments"(which you should see if you haven't)  where a poor Irish white guy is trying to channel the greats of soul for his saxophone and he wanders around Dublin chanting, "I'm black and I'm proud."   I have days where I wander … [Read more...]
