I am feeling SO FESTIVE right now, and not just because this was the lovely wintry scene when I walked the dog the other day: Look at his adorable snowy face! As I mentioned before, December is one of my favourite months even though when I hugged Jake today he complained of my icy cold […]

December 3, 2012 by
Yes, you read that title correctly. There will be a part two. Despite its darkness, and despite the fact that a) it was minus 12 this morning, b) my hands are constantly purple, and c) traffic and the streets are mayhem, I love December. It is one of my favourite months; the approaching holidays and associated festivity […]
FEEL THE ENERGY
November 26, 2012 by
Every month, I realize anew that my complete lack of energy for a week, followed by super-strength-energizer-bunny energy is actually related to my, how shall I put this, lady cycles.

October 17, 2012 by
It’s only eight days until the second-most-anticipated event in my household, second only to Christmas, and that is the school’s annual Family Halloween Dance. It is, without a doubt, the social event of the season, and it is over by 8:30 pm, which is to say that it is my kind of party. My husband […]
