Alright, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that not all bloggers are like this – but the more time I spend on crafts & snacks with the kids, taking pictures for the blog posts, and then actually writing up the blog posts, the less time I spend organizing my house. That means that occasionally when I take ... Read More »
I’m just returning home from a road trip to Ithaca in the Finger Lakes region with the girls from my Wine & Cheesy Book Club – as in, I’m writing this while sitting in line at the Niagara Falls border. Wanna see what we were up to? Search #wcbcroadtrip on Instagram & Twitter. I’m sure you’ll see a blog post ... Read More »
I don’t know when it began. I can’t pinpoint the day that I started referring to myself in the third person. It seemed like a normal thing to do when I first started it – talking to my (maybe?) 8 month old, saying, “Give that to mommy, please!” or “Come to mommy!” Why? WHY do we do these things? Why ...

It’s true, I did. I fell in love at Blissdom Canada. The first time I saw her, it was in Sponsors Row. She was gorgeous, sitting there in the sunlight. I obviously wasn’t the only one who noticed her beauty, based on the number of people who surrounded her. I’m a bit shy, though, so I passed by, stopping to ... Read More »

However, that STUPID night when we fell back, he woke up at 4:30 ... Read More »

I take a lot of pictures – and by “a lot”, I actually mean “an insane amount.” What I don’t do is hit record & ... Read More »
People had a pretty predictable reaction when we told them that our summer vacation was going to be heading to Michigan for a week to stay in the cottage that we rented there: “Why Michigan? Isn’t there a million cottages here in Ontario that you could rent that would be closer?” Excellent question. Yes, there are a million cottages for ... Read More »
I never wanted to have a career – if you can believe it, in this day and age, my very un-feminist dream has always been to get married, have some babies and stay at home to raise them. As is the case with most things, the reality of being a stay at home mom has been a much less perfect ... Read More »
You know how, sometimes, memories that you had of doing something awesome as a child prove to be rose-coloured when you grow up and experience it again and find out that it really wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be? Rest assured: this is NOT one of them. We didn’t have an awful lot of money {read: we ... Read More »
