I have an article up at Yummy Mummy Club all about picky eating. You should read it just for the title – it’s all Super Hits of the 80’s. Also there are some very cute pictures of my kids when they were small. If you can, comments on the YMC site would be much appreciated. […]

Finally Scaredy Squirrel decides that nothing horrible is happening in the unknown today.
October 3, 2010 by 8 Comments
My neighbourhood is, for some reason, a squirrel graveyard these days. I take my dog for a walk and there are squirrel carcasses in varying stages of decomposition everywhere. It is quite disconcerting. Also disconcerting is the fact that dead squirrels are to my dog what giant bags of potato chips are to me: not […]
Wake me up when September ends
October 1, 2010 by 10 Comments
Last Friday I realized that there was going to be a joint family birthday celebration on the weekend for Jake and my dad, and, like always, I needed to buy a gift for my dad. For some reason I always, always leave his birthday gift for the last minute, and then make a panicked rush […]

Does anyone else have the typical back-to-school cold? School germs work fast. No one in our house has been sick for at least five months, but a couple weeks into September sees us down with a cold. Although it is a pretty minor cold – the boys have had it and recovered quickly – it’s […]

A little while ago, my best friend mentioned that her daughter had attended a “charity” birthday party, in which the birthday child had requested donations to a charity in lieu of gifts. This struck me as brilliant. I’ve always wanted to have a big birthday party with lots of guests, but I didn’t want to […]
