Last week my far-away friend, Christy, along with her husband and four (!) children, spent seven days at our house. It was wild and wonderful and loud and hilarious. Seeing our kids play and connect after years between our last visit (they used to live in the same town as we do, but moved … [Read more...]
The Best Gift Ever
Last night we had the privilege of watching Eva and Cuyler perform at their Christmas concert. Two years ago, when he was in grade 5, Campbell played Santa in the school Christmas concert. This year it was Cuyler's turn. He auditioned for, and got a part in this year's production. He got the … [Read more...]
Christmas Card Season! Wahoo!
'Tis the season! When one's mailbox is not filled only with bills, but peppered with happy Christmas cards from friends and family. I love it! I don't send them out every year because sometimes it just feels like an overwhelming/expensive endeavor, or we don't have a good photo to use on the … [Read more...]
The Last Party
Cuyler turned eleven last Wednesday. Yesterday he celebrated his birthday with friends. It took me a while to figure out where to host it; I needed somewhere age appropriate for the friends he was inviting at the same time be able to hold Cuyler's interest. Cuyler's first suggestion was to invite … [Read more...]
Making A Wish
Sometimes making a wish is a very good thing. Sometimes believing something will help you when you need that help, is worth embracing. Sometimes making a wish and sending it off will bring about the change you await. You start, most importantly, with a group who mean so much to you. And a cocktail … [Read more...]
All The Beauty That Lies Beneath
This is my new favourite thing to do. First you get on a boat in the tropics (lake fish are the ugly sisters to tropical fish; no colour, no jazz, and they all look alike). Go out far into the ocean until you get to a reef. Put on your snorkel, mask and fins. And courage. And get close to some … [Read more...]
His Village
I've found in the past year or so, Cuyler has been invited to fewer and fewer birthday parties. Likely because the older kids get, they have fewer BIG parties and also because the older kids get, the less they have in common with him. Case in point - a classmate of Cuyler's was planning a golf … [Read more...]
It’s Not So Cold on the West Coast
If you've seen How to Be a Vancouverite, or if you are one, or if you know any of us, you know how uniquely weird we can be. We effing love kale, and it's a joke how much that isn't a joke. If you've ever been here or moved here or tried to make friends outside of work or school, maybe you know how … [Read more...]
A Weekend In Pictures

Together, Much?
School starts in six days. SIX. (Did I say six? It's six days.) My kids have spent about 90% of their time together over these past several weeks... and I mean, TOGETHER. Much of the time, they've played quite well together, and have been glad to have one another for company. They're next … [Read more...]
