As those of you who read my blog know, my daughter is not a girlie-girl. She likes sports and skateboarding and spends most of her time trying to keep up with her nearly 9 year old brother and his friends. The truth is, I'm not an expert on girlie stuff either. I am a fool with make-up, I can't … [Read more...]
My Vegetable Love Should Grow
I was grocery shopping this weekend - I lead a wild life - and the sales clerk, who was a woman in her early 30s, held up a leafy vegetable, needing me to identify it so she could punch in the code. It was kale, which she'd never heard of before. "What do you DO with it?" she asked me, … [Read more...]
2 Nights in a Tent
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...]
No Need to Make Time for Myself
The title of this post may be a bit deceiving. Sympathetic mommies across the virtual world might be nodding their heads thinking how tough it is for a busy mom to find time alone. This, of course, is totally true. However, I feel that the tides have turned a bit for me and I am not sure I like … [Read more...]
Invalid Cookery And Summer Sickness
This has been one of the most grueling parenting weeks that I can remember, barring the immediately post-partum weeks which I can't even remember now - a nifty biological trick which keeps my family growing. When my husband got home early Friday evening, I crawled into bed and basically slept for … [Read more...]
Inspiration from Body & Soul
Here's a pic of me and my mom at the opening night of Body & Soul, the play commissioned by Dove pro-age. Can I tell you that we LOVED this production?! I have never experienced anything quite like it. 13 women, not actresses, with no experience on stage, sharing their stories. Baring their … [Read more...]
Tea for Three
As some of you know, my hubby & I have moved around a lot during our time together. Some people think that we're crazy, but I can tell you that it has been a wonderful way to explore different parts of the country. You see different things when you live someplace as opposed to just … [Read more...]
Exhausted Mom
I was talking to a friend of mine in the schoolyard and she said she had been googling "Exhausted Mom" the other day. She was looking for solace. Advice. A solution to her constant state of fatigue. Of course, she found nothing new. The advice was to "slow down", "take time … [Read more...]
Reality sets in – and it’s challenging
The first two weeks of being home with the Baby were somewhat of a honeymoon. My husband was home for a week, and then my in-laws came for the following week. The house was buzzing with people and I felt safe in the comfort of numbers. Week three is here, and we're now getting into a … [Read more...]
Week 1 with The Baby
Sorry about my delay in posting, but it's been an overwhelming few days. Before I write any more, I've decided to give names to my kids (to make it easier on my readers and me!): My five year old son will be the Boy, my 3 year old daughter - the Girl, and my new little angel - the … [Read more...]
