Hot Town Summer in the City
A post about the weather!?! How boring, you may say. Not for me. I must take a few lines to proclaim my happiness about the heat. I just came in from watering my plants and I'm content. This is the weather I've been waiting months for. Steamy, thick air. Burning, … [Read more...]
Another rainy day
What summer is this! I'm finding it hard to keep my spirits up when every day it feels more and more like November. Ugghhh. My spirits are low, and my kids are cranky. I've decided that the only strategy possible is to keep busy and to forge ahead with plans despite nature's lack … [Read more...]

I think because we had such rainy weather here in July and the last two weeks have been gorgeous (mid twenties and sunny) that I kinda feel like summer should … [Read more...]
Idyllic summer fun
It's that time of year again when we are rarely inside the house. Long lazy summer days that consist of mornings at the camp or at the park, afternoons playing on the street with the neighbourhood kids and evenings spent on the patio eating an early barbequed dinner. I have no interest in … [Read more...]
In the swim…
My family (hubby and two boys) and I were lucky to have a last-minute vacation in Mexico last month. This not only provided the opportunity for some long overdue R and R, but for me to get familiar with the swimwear styles for Summer 2008 that work for real women. First, let me say that the … [Read more...]
Exhausted Mom
I was talking to a friend of mine in the schoolyard and she said she had been googling "Exhausted Mom" the other day. She was looking for solace. Advice. A solution to her constant state of fatigue. Of course, she found nothing new. The advice was to "slow down", "take time … [Read more...]
