One Man’s Treasure…
Somewhere in my home there is a packet of letters bound with an elastic. Letters that were written by my mom to her mom about me when I was between the ages of 6 months to roughly 2 years old. The letters tell of my mom’s first time here in Toronto with a baby, how it was to … Continue reading »
Tweet Tweet
I was on Twitter for about 3 years. A few days ago I took a deep breath and deactivated my account. It was that hard to do. I had gotten so used to checking in on Twitter throughout the day; while playing with L, while he was napping, while cooking, and late at night in … Continue reading »
The Help
I finished reading Kathryn Stockett’s bestselling novel, The Help, last night. I believe from what I remember when I quickly scanned her bio on the back page that it is her first novel. I may be wrong. If it is, what a hell of a first book to publish. I could not put it … Continue reading »
Slow Cookin’
We bought our slow cooker ages ago. Sadly we’ve used it only a few times. Both J & I were lazy to get food prepped to put it in before we left for work in the morning. I also didn’t really have any good recipes to try out. Yeah I know I could always “google” … Continue reading »
Life Goes On
It’s snowing lightly here right now as I sit at the kitchen table looking out at my backyard. I don’t think we’ll be getting what the forecasters predicted but I am not complaining by any means. We’ve been fairly lucky this winter so far in York Region with hardly any snow and mild temps. I … Continue reading »
Hang Here Please
Our home has never had a key holder. I’ve never really found one that I like. We’ve been throwing our keys on top of the laundry machine when we get home. We enter through our laundry room from the garage door and the laundry machines are a sort of catch all lately for keys, mail, … Continue reading »
Angry
Imagine this scenario: you have plans to see a movie on Sunday with a friend and her daughter. The Saturday morning before she tweets that her daughter threw up in the morning and had a fever. What goes through your head? In my case it was oh no that’s too bad, guess we need to … Continue reading »
Proud
Last night I went to my Parent Council meeting. Can I say that each time I leave I am in awe of the wonderful school S is going to? At this meeting we discussed future fundraising events that we’re holding. We’re having a dance a thon on Valentine’s to raise money for more technology equipment in our … Continue reading »
Listen
Quiet here again. The holiday break is over and J has gone back to work and S back to school. The holidays were wonderful, hectic, frustrating and crazy all at the same time. It was nice to have an extra set of hands around. I didn’t get to do much of what I wanted seeing … Continue reading »
