I have heard “Glory Days” no fewer than five times in the past two days. Is it a sign? Perhaps the universe is saying something about my impending 20 year high school reunion. Should I start reliving those glory days? Perhaps don a baby doll dress to wear with army boots? Spiral perm my hair? […]
Hippos and Spring
March 28, 2013 by
Important Boyhouse update for those of you who have been reading for a while: we visited the zoo yesterday for the first time since the tragic (for us) euthanasia of Foggy the Hippo. There is a new hippo; his name is Ghost, courtesy of his Halloween birthday, and he is Foggy’s grandson. I wasn’t sure […]
Spring Break! Put your (paint covered) hands up!
March 26, 2013 by
It’s only, technically, day two of Spring Break and it is the Most Exciting Spring Break Ever. Yesterday I looked out the window to see a Canada Post truck parked in the middle of our road and a delivery man struggling up our sidewalk with a giant box addressed to me. What is it, you may […]

Despite sleeping only about five hours last night, the boys are shockingly energetic and pleasant, which indicates that a […]
Being a MILF
January 29, 2013 by
I was driving home from yoga this morning and I heard “You Shook Me All Night Long” on the radio, and it occurred to me – not for the first time – that the line “knocking me out with those American thighs” had much different connotation back in 1980 than it would today. American thighs […]
Nicole’s Favourite Things, January Blues Edition
January 21, 2013 by
Last week I posted about being blue on Blue Monday, but today it was brought to my attention that TODAY IS BLUE MONDAY. But I was sad last week! I’m not sad today! How can it possibly be Blue Monday if I am not sad? I know. I know. It isn’t all about me. Maybe […]
