My Nest Is Full

January 8, 2014 by Amanda 5 Comments

  I know they are a tad cliche, but for years I have been wanting a nest necklace with three eggs to remind me of my girls. I ordered one off Esty a couple years ago but it ended up being a scam (who scams on ETSY?!) but finally decided to just go ahead and place another order with a … [Read more...]

In All Fairness…

November 14, 2013 by Kath 2 Comments

One of the first things you realize when you have your second child is that now the game is all about fairness. Or if not fairness then at least equity. This hit me like a ton of bricks when I was nursing my minutes-old second daughter and addressed her big sister by her then-nickname. I think I … [Read more...]

A Five-Year Blink

November 5, 2013 by Amanda 3 Comments

When I was home with three little babies, it felt like it would always be that way: an endless hamster wheel of diaper changes, tantrums, cracker crumbs and exhaustion. Everyone told me "the days are long but the years are short" but I didn't really believe them. Turns out they weren't … [Read more...]

A Little Tenderness

November 1, 2013 by Nancy 12 Comments

My father died this week after a long battle with dementia. It is many things I am coming to understand; painful, surreal, a blessing,  darkness,  light, a terrible sadness, a relief. When I understood he was gone, I felt a feeling I had never felt before. I felt my shoulders go up and down. … [Read more...]

Making A Wish

October 28, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

Sometimes making a wish is a very good thing. Sometimes believing  something will help you when you need that help, is worth embracing. Sometimes making a wish and sending it off will bring about the change you await. You start, most importantly, with a group who mean so much to you. And a cocktail … [Read more...]

Facing My Fear at 50, Again

October 22, 2013 by Nancy 14 Comments

All week I watched the parasail float over the water above me as I ran or walked the beach. I could do that, I say to myself, from the safety of the peaceful beach. But do I want to? "Nance, you should do that. I know you are afraid." I am, as many of you know, very afraid of heights. I have … [Read more...]

Why I Love Country Markets

October 14, 2013 by Nancy Leave a Comment

You can come as you are in your favourite shorts Except if you are my mom and think low heel Farragamo's are country casual. Parking is so darn easy you think there is something wrong with the event so no one came. You meet the people who make the stuff they are selling. Cheese experts, pie … [Read more...]

International Day of the Girl Child: October 11, 2013

October 11, 2013 by Emily 4 Comments

Due to a lot of confusion and bad information, I feel like I spend 50% of my time online ranting about inequities and trying to explain that feminism is simply the belief that women are people and that all people are equal and deserving of autonomy and opportunity. That's it. It's not about cutting … [Read more...]

Talking About Dying-Part 2

October 9, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

The other day, I touched on why we are afraid to talk about dying. It is very tough. We'd all rather talk about life. But there are some important benefits on having these tough discussions. When we acknowledge death: • We have the opportunity to savour life Hope comes from the comfort … [Read more...]

Why We Are Afraid Of Talking About Dying

October 7, 2013 by Nancy 2 Comments

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. - George Bernard Shaw I went to an End Of Life Choices seminar with my mom last week. I want to share some of what was presented. The ideas might be simple but because the topic is so heady, we can … [Read more...]
