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. And yet every month I find myself wondering what is wrong with me, and why am I so tired? Last week everything was a massive […]

It was “Dress as Your Twin” day at school – a day where kids get “spirit points” for their “colour squad” if they dress the same as someone else, and my kids took it to the extreme, dressing in the exact same outfit, down to the socks and underwear. Extra points for that? I am […]

Twice a year I find myself commenting that I am in awe that we, as a society, still deal with such an antiquated notion as Daylight Savings Time, and twice a year my husband tells me that I am starting to sound crazy when I launch a diatribe against it. And yet, although my children are […]

It seems we all have very strong opinions on skinny jeans! I do feel that we should have learned lessons from the eighties. I will say this, my very worst hair decision ever – and this is even worse than my 1985 mullet that my mom had home permed – was to cut my hair […]

For example, referring to youth as “young people today”, fumbling for change while the grocery store lineup expands behind, and so forth. Swistle said, and I quote: “Have you noticed that each generation thinks […]
