My wild things: Each of them so vastly different, so beautiful in their own ways, so flawed, so growing, so lovely. I am blown away by the life that fills our home and I am so thankful for these crazy, rambunctious girls we get to call ours. … [Read more...]
Day of the Momma
Mother's Day: was mine perfect? No way. There were still bums to wipe, lunches to pack for the next day, temper tantrums to endure and sibling fights to break up. But there was also Eggs Benedict on a sunny patio. And homemade gifts. And a nap. And the three beautiful girls who have made me … [Read more...]
Happy Mother’s Day
Happy Mother's Day in advance of Sunday. I obviously have no clue what is like to be a mother (unless you count on the dance floor, then I'm one bad mother). But as a father, I get to see firsthand how important a mother is in raising children. Speaking of being a father, it's amazing to see the … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 8th, 2013
I find Old Navy to be rather hit-or-miss from season to season... I haven't bought much for my son from there in a few years, but it's been my huckleberry for this girl so far. And thanks to all those terrific online-shopping rebates and such, I've been able to pick up a clutch of sundresses for … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – May 3rd, 2013
Let's go, SPRING!! I did some online shopping last month, in anticipation of the warmer weather, and finally being able to put away all the wintry wollens and such... and as of last weekend, we're all exercising our right to bare arms. Witness: the sleeveless shirtdress. When I open the shipment, … [Read more...]
Locked Out
As many of you know when you have kids, colds are contagious. Your kid gets a cold, then you get it, then your spouse, and so on and so on - the house is infested with germs. There is not a germ that doesn't latch itself to my little guys. I'm seriously thinking about making my own antibiotics in … [Read more...]
Planes, Pains and Automobiles
Now that the spring is here (somewhat), it's got me thinking about our summer vacation. My wife is from Cape Breton and fortunately, still has a lot of family there. (Score one for me!) Every year I get to go to one of the most beautiful places on the planet, never mind the country. Things there … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – April 25th, 2013
What is this weather doing, April? I honestly don't know, with these super-chilly mornings, and windy afternoons... it's hard to know how to dress. As I say the word dress, this child's ears prick up, and she is DESPERATE to wear some of the more summery items I bought a few weeks ago (I really … [Read more...]
Sucks To Be Two
The day Brinley turned two years old, her will emerged. And it was a strong one, that will. No surprise there, it seems to be how we breed them. Two is such a wonderful, yet hard age. She is SO cute and her vocabulary and level of understanding grow everyday, so fast I can barely keep up. But … [Read more...]
Look At This Stuff, Isn’t It Neat?
Our kids have been obsessed with the movie "Annie" lately and it's so adorable hearing them belt out, "Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, Tomorrow!" and "It's a hard knock life for us!" all the live-long day. There are just some childhood movies that stick with a kid, you know? I was thinking back to … [Read more...]
