In all the greyness, spring fashion is the light at the end of my tunnel. By February, I seriously need a dose of colourful fun in my wardrobe. Pretty dresses in shades of coral, turquoise and creamy white coquettishly tell me not to give up: Soon there will be flowers, sun and green … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 10th, 2011
I don't own many dresses (hard to find a good fit) but I adore this jersey cotton dress. I bought it two years ago, and I still find it a good fit for me. I love the open neckline, and the hem hits me in the right spot for a small person such as myself. It's machine washable and it doesn't require … [Read more...]
From My Closet – May 30th, 2011
I'm heading downtown today. I've got stuff to do, and I'm taking myself out for lunch - and I'm actually going to sit down to eat it. I'm not dressed up - I'm just wearing what I own. I mean, really - if you have stuff you like, but you don't actually put them on... then exactly WHAT are you … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – PD Day
This is how we've spent our day. We've also played hours of road hockey, baseball and man hunt. We have avoided the XBox today. That's a very good thing. … [Read more...]

So, on the good news front, I am 99% convinced that my hair is growing back. (She heaves a huge sigh of relief). It's not pretty, but there is a lot of stubbly growth in my bald patch and I'm gonna go with the hope that it's a sign things are renewing in that area. And speaking of renewal: a … [Read more...]
My trick for the Tail End of Winter Blues (Oh, IT COULD BE A THING)
I --much like, I assume, all of you -- have HAD IT with this winter. The mittens, the wool, the salt stains, the misjudging of puddles and winding up ankle-deep in a sludge of indeterminate origin...DONE. This time of year is, in a way, even tougher than winter itself, because daylight exists once … [Read more...]
Spring Scents
By now you've no doubt enjoyed Ali's debrief on the best and worst dressed of the Golden Globes. Ali referred to the 2011 Golden Globes Awards as being the Shoulder Pad Edition, but what I really noticed was the promise of Spring. All those hues of peach, blush and salmon were like a promise of … [Read more...]
Pics from the ‘hood!
Spring is here, and my kids are LOVING being outside! Here are some pics from the weekend of my crew. Husband enjoying is coffee al fresco! Some serious chalk-drawing on the driveway. "Babies" being bundled up for a walk. Hours and hours of road … [Read more...]
Monday Night Randoms
The Baby has had a fever for four days. I have never seen her this miserable, and it's breaking my heart. The Boy lost two teeth today. They've been loose for days, but were finally set free by a Werther's caramel given to him by his teacher. My husband took me to a dingy club … [Read more...]
Spring Blooms Craft How-To
Despite the occasional snow-laden hiccup, we seem to be finally emerging into real spring (that is, spring weather, vs. just spring on the calendar). To celebrate the emergence of the warmer weather (crossing fingers that it stays), I decided to create some lovely spring blooms. With thanks to … [Read more...]
