When 8 Year Olds Can’t Sleep

January 21, 2008 by Jen

Tonight I have had enough. 8 years of broken sleep, musical beds, and soothing him to sleep. My sweet, sensitive, anxious young man and the battle of bedtime. My 5 year old goes to sleep on her own and sleeps soundly through most nights but not her big brother. And not that I don't appreciate your … [Read more...]

5 Years Ago Today A Superhero Was Born

January 8, 2008 by Jen

Today I am a bit melancholy...my baby turns 5. Wow. 5 is Big Kid. No more baby or toddler. I totally remember being 5. A fully formed person with opinions and personality.

Contemplating Number Three

December 27, 2007 by Jen

We've been in Calgary for almost a week.  The Christmas rush is now over and we're now enjoying some quality family time, and chilling out at home.  I'm beginning to feel the end of my glorious second trimester, and the heaviness and fatigue of my final countdown is becoming more … [Read more...]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like….

December 19, 2007 by Margot

So I have spent the whole day arranging for Christmas cards to be sent out (yes it is Dec 16 & half of my cards have to cross the border...wish me luck), because my husband guilted me into this after this year's group of cards started pouring in from all of our wonderful friends & relatives … [Read more...]

Snowed in! (and Part 2 of Lovin’ the Season)

December 17, 2007 by Jen

Sunday morning, we woke up to a whirling blizzard of snow and ice.  After a momentary panic session triggered by all the things I wasn't going to get done that day, I mellowed out and accepted our day at home.  In fact, it was incredibly liberating to realise that we couldn't do anything … [Read more...]

The Golden Compass

Have you seen The Golden Compass yet?  What did you think?  Have your say & rate it here! Well, you had to know I was going to go see this movie.  We've already had a very lively discussion by our own Ali in her most recent Friday Hot Topics post, so I thought we could round … [Read more...]

Nobody Wants a Foot Beard

December 7, 2007 by Jen

Not familiar with the term "foot beard"? Neither was I until I had a conversation with my nearly 5 year old daughter yesterday. Let me just frame this one for you. My daughter sees my husband shave his beard every morning. Her only experience with shaving really is daddy shaving his beard. … [Read more...]

Here come the questions

December 7, 2007 by Jen

A couple of months ago, I wrote about our decision to enroll my son in Islamic Sunday School, and how we had searched hard for one that incorporated both our Muslim values and progressive views.  It's now been over 2 months that my son has been attending his classes, and I am very pleased with … [Read more...]

Some cheerful things on a cold, cold day

November 30, 2007 by Jen

It's cold. Frightfully cold. The kind of cold that makes my bones feel chilly and puts me in hibernation mode.  Though born on a snowy day in New Brunswick, I somehow never transcended my genetic roots (India) to embrace my Canadian climate.  I detest the winter and wish I could crawl into … [Read more...]

Reconnecting

November 26, 2007 by Jen

This past weekend was all about catching up with old friends!  On Friday night, we had some friends over for dinner.  We've been wanting to do it for ages, and literally years had gone by since we'd finally coordinated!  We had an intimate dinner with our families and it was … [Read more...]
