Our little Madame turned five about a week ago, and I haven't felt terribly rushed about writing a birthday post about it all, since we're good at s t r e t c h i n g things out. We don't just celebrate the day, but around these parts, we're big on savouring the all the birthday time, slurping it … [Read more...]
The Tooth Fairy Fail: AKA Confessions
The day after Christmas, while we were at the cottage, Oliver's wiggly tooth fell out while he was brushing his teeth, and I remember being glad it didn't fall into the drain, lost forever. He put it under his pillow straight away, and I know he checked on it a few times that day, just to be sure it … [Read more...]
Bottoms Up!
My two year-old has a drinking problem. All three of my girls have had heated love affairs with their bottles. Avelyn held tightly to hers well past the 2.5 year-mark, Karenna gave hers up just after her second birthday, and Brinley, who is 2 and four months, is still madly in love with … [Read more...]
Quiet Break
I've been quiet on the social media front these days, enjoying my time with family and friends and burying my nose in a book. Happy New Year to you all! … [Read more...]
Nice To See You
The fall was so busy, there were days when I didn't really see my kids. I mean, I would be aware of their bodies as I bellowed at them to "Get in the van or we're GOING TO BE LATE!" and when I dropped them at school. And I was happy to retrieve them at the day's end, but then I would come home and … [Read more...]

Little Pitchers and The Art of Swearing.
On the long ride home from the cottage, we cued up the iPad on shuffle-play, and just let the tunes hit us. We have all kinds of music on it, and since we've never really cowed to the children's musical tastes, we're gleefully free of Itsy Bitsy Spider-type songs, and anything by The Wiggles. It's … [Read more...]
Halloween Foods: Plan B thanks to Sandy
So, we're getting ready for Halloween and it looks like this monster of a storm is coming our way. My kids started talking about what to do should we get a complete rain out on the night of Halloween. They decided (yes, they did) to not go out but instead could we have some fun at home … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – October 26th, 2012
I added this darling purple plaid shirt with the turquoise thread running through it to my cart the last time I ordered some kid stuff from Old Navy online, along with this stuff, and these tights (which are freaking adorable, like whoa). Old Navy has been good to us this fall - and you can't beat … [Read more...]
The trading game at lunch time.
The other day my 12 year old son mentioned that he had traded part of his lunch with his buddy. I asked him WHY?- especially because I pack him a hot meal everyday in a thermos. Ok, almost everyday. But that day his friend had an egg salad sandwich. That totally floored me (you traded for egg … [Read more...]
