As chaotic as well all are, there are some crazy things we just will NOT do. Included in this list: bungee jumping, base jumping and extreme ironing. (Yes, extreme ironing is an extreme sport, we looked it up) But here is something that there is no way, for any amount of money, to save all [...]
After a VERY rainy walk around the block today to stretch our legs, we happened to look up and see this: Totally taking this as a sign of good luck and the next time I waffle about taking the dawg out in bad weather, I’ll think twice because you just never know what kind of [...]
Told you that yesterday was a good day for cake. And no, it’s not written in mustard…
Big milestone today for the youngest baby in our family: I admit it, the minute I saw the odometer start to creep up to that magic number, I got a little worried. This vehicle has done us very well, and hopefully there will be many many more kilometers to come but come on – 100,000 [...]
“Whoa what just happened?!” This was the thought that suddenly came to mind as all of a sudden over 100 emails from Pinterest came flooding into my email inbox this morning. Hey, I knew I was popular on Pinterest, but I didn’t think I was THAT popular… As I scanned quickly through the emails I [...]

On May 6th 2012, a very special event will be taking place across Canada. It’s the 11th annual Walk So Kids Can Talk, and if you haven’t heard of the Walk, or the cause, let me fill you in on it… The Kids Help Phone has been around for over 20 years, and to put [...]
Across North America, kids who enjoy an online Lego game known as Lego Universe are sadly counting down to the last few hours that they will be able to play it. Why? Because just over a year after the Lego Business Machine created this online game center for kids, they have decided to shut it [...]
There are alot of things in the world I’d like to bottle up and save for when I really, really need (or want) it. Like the smell of banana bread right when it comes out of the oven, before it gets devoured by my always seemingly hungry kids (aka, “The Eating Machines”). I’d like to [...]
There’s nothing new about bullying – it’s been around since the dawn of time. It was all over the place when I was a kid & every adult I speak to today can relate a bullying story to me. But it seems there’s a different element to bullying nowadays. Kids are killing themselves. Every week [...]
I do stupid stuff. Nothing that’s actually dangerous or completely dumbass, just “what the…” kind of stupid. Stupid stuff like: the time I walked around all day with 2 different shoes on. I thought one of my legs had shrunk. the time I put both contact lenses into the same eye. I thought I was [...]
Today is not just any day, nor is it just any other Tuesday. Today is the day I am officially the mother of a teenager, and a teenage daughter to boot. She is our oldest child and when she was born, friends ours who already had kids cried out in unison, “NOW you’ll understand how [...]
I was curling last night, and I’m not talkin’ ’bout my hair…. Last fall our whole family got involved in a Canadian sport that until then, was just something we’d watched on TV and tried to follow along with. Mostly unsuccessfully. We started curling. I don’t remember exactly what propelled us into the sport – [...]
I’ve mentioned before about how I have the best… job… evah… and this past week was no exception. Over in Toronto, there was alot of buzz and activity taking place that was centered around an event called “Blissdom“. In semi-related news, my boss had some meetings that she needed her team to be at together [...]
In my entire lifetime of working, I don’t think I’ve ever done this. I made a video to celebrate my boss’ birthday. With my awesome situation of being a work-at-home mama & having the best… job… evah, the downside is that my boss & many of the other staff & bloggers that work for her [...]
