Happy birthday Canada! To celebrate, I’m taking the kids to an amusement park with some friends, and I baked an angel food cake, to be eaten with whipped cream and strawberries. If there is anything more delicious in the world I would like to know what it is. It’s day three of summer vacation and […]
Beavers are very interesting animals.

On our recent Victoria Day weekend road trip, we stopped for a break at the information centre in Golden, BC. While my husband took the boys in to use the bathroom, I took the dog for a quick walk and potty break. Query: why do I use the term “potty break” for a dog? Answer […]
I-I-I-I’m Still Alive!

So here it is, May 23, and we are still here. I guess the rapture didn’t occur after all, or, if it did, I was seriously excluded. I wore my special Judgment Day panties for nothing? NOTHING?

I was prepared for crushing anxiety and feelings […]

I was vacationing in California for ten days, escaping the frigid cold back home. However, since cold follows me like a puppy, temperatures were far below normal in Palm Desert and Anaheim, where I was. Almost everyone I et commented on the absurdly cold weather, but since it was still comparable to an average ten days […]
All the cool kids are doing it!

And so will I – a Year in Review. Yes, I know it is the sixth of January and most year in reviews have already been posted, but I was far too busy writing about people who eat toilet paper and watching When Harry Met Sally. So what happened in 2010 over at the Boy […]
