Last week I was at the dentist for a checkup and for scaling. The word “scaling” gives me the chills. I conducted a brief and informal survey among girlfriends, regarding which they would rather have: dental scaling or a pelvic exam. The results were approximately 75/25 in favour of pelvic exams.

I spend hours grocery shopping and putting away groceries, hours preparing meals and cleaning up after meal preparation, hours baking bread and muffins and cookies, hours slicing up fruit and vegetables for school snacks.

It’s not like I pretend to be Amazing Crafty Mom, but remember last year? Note the sad, sliding wreath, stopped only by the sad, sliding […]

I was sick this week with a weird little illness that manifested itself as a sore throat, tight chest, and overwhelming exhaustion. Today is the first day I haven’t felt as though if I closed my eyes for more than a blink, I would succumb to narcoleptic urges. Unfortunately I woke up with no voice […]
