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...]

DETOX: Day Four

December 6, 2007 by Jen

Wow. Who knew that doing a weirdo fad detox diet could put you off food entirely? Today's regime was bananas & skim milk. I was hungry to begin with, but amazingly enough, eating only bananas has a way of making you prefer hunger to eating. And I like bananas. Get this though: I'm at the airport … [Read more...]

Snow Day!

December 3, 2007 by Jen

The exclamation mark up there is me screaming in terror. Every school bus for every school district has been canceled, I think, and my kids are home. Oh, grand. Normally I love having them home, but I have a LOT of writing to get done today - this post, a review of a play I went to see on the … [Read more...]

Burning the Candle at Both Ends

December 2, 2007 by Unknown

My mother's favourite phrase when I was a teen was, "Stop burning the candle at both ends." Ironically, I had no idea what she was talking about.  Literally...I did not know what the idiom meant. Now, as a mature adult, not only am I fully aware of the concept of burning the candle at … [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...]

Introducing…..Movie Mommy!!!

November 27, 2007 by Margot

So, about a month ago I got an e-mail from Jen (urbanmoms.ca founder) about possibly making my posts a little more regular.  Immediate reaction.  Sheer panic.  How could I possibly do that?  Let's be honest, verbose doesn't even begin to describe my posts!!  I had just … [Read more...]

My Cup Runneth Over

November 26, 2007 by Unknown

I actually didn't know it was Grey Cup weekend, until I found myself in the midst of the festivities on Saturday, but I did have a fairly cup worthy weekend of my own. My last post was about our "Enchanted" Friday night. Saturday we had parent/teacher interviews for the Gaffer and found … [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...]

Catholic Guilt

November 21, 2007 by Unknown

There is a great line in " The Commitments"(which you should see if you haven't)  where a poor Irish white guy is trying to channel the greats of soul for his saxophone and he wanders around Dublin chanting, "I'm black and I'm proud."   I have days where I wander … [Read more...]
