Yes. Sixty three days until school starts. The kids are on day 2 of camp and all reports came back positive yesterday. Cam likes his group. Cuyler likes his support worker. Eva likes that she's only going for this week. The rest of the summer she's with moi. I want to cram in as much girl time … [Read more...]
Looking Back
Last week, my boy was registered at soccer camp - the very same one he's gone to for the last two summers. At the door he turned to me and said: Can I walk there by myself? He actually winced, thinking I'd say no.I knew this day was coming. He is eight. I surprised him and myslef by … [Read more...]
Summer Is Here! And So Are Some Random Thoughts of Mine!
I cleaned my van, you guys. To reward myself I ate a coconut creme tart the size of my face and now I feel bloated. But I am bloated with accomplishment. It was my eldest daughter's last day of Kindergarten today. Let the summer holidays commence! I will be working all summer, which will be new … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 21st, 2012
Who IS this girl in all this bright colour?! Don't ask me. I hardly recognise myself. I sometimes have trouble when it comes to colour. Especially when it's this bright! But, it's hella hot in the city again these days, so short-shorts rule. I like the hot pinks and oranges in this checkered … [Read more...]
Urban Kid Closet – June 19th, 2012
"This dress is my favourite," she breathes each time she slips it on. If she had it her way, she'd wear it every single day. It's the longest of all the dresses she has, which quite naturally deems it the best of the lot. Dancing, is always required. It's plain old cotton with a charcoal stripe … [Read more...]
From My Closet – June 15th, 2012
Okay: shorts. I mean the short kind. I've been thinking about them ever since the weather started warming up, and I was pulling out shorts of yore, and buying new ones. Exactly how short can a lady my age go, I wondered... and what I've decided is this: Nobody's perfect. No body is, either... … [Read more...]
Trading in high heels & glitter for my first summer camp experience!
I was born and raised in the city. I am a true urbanite. Every summer the only camp I went to was the one hosted by the City "Parks & Rec" or Vacation Bible School because Grandma paid to send me. We didn't have that many choices for summer camps, not like today, and as soon as I hit 14 I … [Read more...]
The HOT Indigo Summer Event
Summer has arrived early! I know, I know, us Torontonians can never predict the weather for long stretches of time...it could snow next week, right? But we are grateful for any teasers that Mother Nature wants to throw our way and for any chance to plunk ourselves on a patio these … [Read more...]
“SHUT THE F&** UP!”
The other day my daughter came home from school and started in on me about a Drama camp she wants to go to this summer. I told her I wasn't sure if it was going to be affordable at this point and I would have to wait and see if we could manage it. She walked away grumbling a bit but … [Read more...]
Perfect
That's the only way I can describe our weekend. Perfect.From the weather. To the activities. To the company. It was 3 perfect days and I am grateful.In the past, Victoria Day weekend is dreadful for us. Dreadful for Cuyler because of the fireworks that start Friday night and go on until … [Read more...]
