Despite What The Internet Says, The Kids Are All Right

July 30, 2014 by Kath 1 Comment

Perhaps it's just what gets aggregated in my feeds, but the interwebs seem to be spending a great deal of time metaphorically shaking their collective canes and muttering "kids today, amiright?"  And there is an awful lot to be pessimistic about: helicopter parents, over-scheduled kids, technology, … [Read more...]

Beaming

November 7, 2013 by Kath 5 Comments

It's funny, you know, with adolescents. There's that constant push and pull in the parent-child dynamic, and just when you think you've got it all figured out, your teenager reminds you that, in fact, you don't know ANYTHING. And sometimes, that's a good thing. After all: as we get older and more … [Read more...]

September 5, 2013 by Nancy 6 Comments

This morning in the parking lot at my daughter's high school I ran into an acquaintance. She asked what grades my daughters were in. She said, "You have one in second grade?" I  kissed her feet and offered her the name of a good optometrist. I wish. Second year University. She told me she wished … [Read more...]

FYI (if you’re a teenage boy)

September 5, 2013 by Emily 9 Comments

Dear boys, I have some information that might interest you. Last night, as we sometimes do, our family sat around the dining-room table and looked through your social media photos.

Life Lessons – Let’s Talk Potatoes

August 29, 2013 by Nancy 2 Comments

We seem to attract people wherever we go who want to tell us their life story and everything they know. I wouldn't have it any other way. We were doing the University grocery shop better known as a feeble attempt to get good fresh food in there for the first week. Then they will decide to go out … [Read more...]

all you need to know about teenagers

July 25, 2013 by Nancy Leave a Comment

Dropping my daughter to camp last week, I had to ask her if she felt there was anything funky about the first clothesline as a method to dry your wet clothes. "What do you mean?" she said quickly. My work is not over yet. … [Read more...]

backfilling your life

July 20, 2013 by Nancy 1 Comment

I have written about, thought about  and worked on backfilling my life quite a bit over the last year. As one area of your life is shrinking, you must swell a new area. Something is running out the front door, new things have to come in the back door. My children are slowly leaving home and … [Read more...]

Job Time!

January 12, 2013 by ChantelK
