From Single To Stepmom: Fighting The Wicked Stereotype

January 2, 2017 by Jamie Scrimgeour Leave a Comment

Four years ago, I accidentally fell in love with a single dad with three kids. I say accidentally because marrying a man with kids was definitely not in my five-year plan. Having divorced parents myself, I know first-hand how complicated co-parenting and blending families can be. It was not … [Read more...]

Lululemon Makes Shopping Easier With Apple’s Touch ID

November 4, 2014 by Sonya Leave a Comment

There are days that I thankfully don't need to be running in heels. I love the days that I can zip the kid off to the school and then enjoy a yoga class or a walk with friends.

UrbanKitchen Gadget Review: SodaStream Soda Maker

April 23, 2014 by Sonya 1 Comment

One of my weakness, yes besides shoes, is drinking soda pop. Maybe it 's the fizzy sensation that is so satisfying. When SodaStream came into the market, I was definitely curious. With a teenager and another youngster in the house, this machine was worth trying out. This past week gave us the … [Read more...]

Glamping, Camping and a Contest!

July 11, 2013 by Sonya 313 Comments

What did you say? Camping? I had no interest AT ALL until a friend of mine said "you're so fricken' high maintenance, but I bet you would LOVE  Glamping." Hmmm....It's a possibility. I must admit that I've been thinking about it. I just need to find the time and figure out where to do this (if … [Read more...]

Free Wheelin’

June 19, 2013 by Tracey 4 Comments

This was the other thing we picked up on our recent jaunt to Toys R Us. Only, it's not for the children. This one is for me. You might know I've been riding Oliver's scooter in the house (and around town) for the past couple of years, and though many of the neighbourhood children own one just … [Read more...]

(On The Way Out) From My Closet – September 19th, 2012

September 19, 2012 by Urban Closet

So, what's wrong with this skirt? Nothing, really. It fits well, and the colours are good on me, but I think it's the pattern that throws me off. I feel weird whenever I wear it. I don't feel like myself. And because of that, I seldom choose it. I think I've worn it about half a dozen times since I … [Read more...]
