I was at the grocery store on the weekend, picking up only a couple of items and scanning them through the self-checkout lane when one of the cashiers, a fairly young guy, ran up to me excitedly. “I saw you on CBC!” he said. “I was watching the hockey game and then you were on […]
Birthdays, Mommy Makeovers, Easter, and Earth Day
April 22, 2011 by
It was my birthday yesterday, just in case you missed the announcements and my not-so-shy reminders from the rooftops. I love birthdays. I think everyone should be celebrated on their birthdays with an outpouring of love and affection and maybe even some cake. I was the happy recipient of an ice-cream cake, two new yoga […]
It’s only Tuesday? We’re all going to die!

Here’s a view of our backyard; the kids are in their pajamas because someone who is not me took the kids out in only their pajamas to take a picture of the giant snowball that they made. What a weird day. It’s only 2:15 and it has just been a strange day. I keep reminding […]

Last week I was applying makeup while wearing my robe and Jake peered over at my exposed legs. “Mom, you should go put your stockings on,” he said in a voice of concern. I assured him that I didn’t need to wear my stockings anymore! Happy news! He repeated his request, slightly louder. I repeated […]
