Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
I am a Stay – at – Home mom…have been for a verrrry long time now, apart from a brief foray into part time here and there. And I like it. No really..I do! I suck at it…but I like it. I am a fairly solitary person and my kids company is about all I […]
Lately, I have been doubting my sanity (again)…Sleep deprivation (Tara, fix that will you please?) a TWO WEEK cold and my general daily sense of WTF and so on, plus looks and comments from my husband and family, have caused me to pause here and ponder on not only my parenting but my ability to […]
As you may have noticed, and as I mentioned in my previous rant against GIANT CORPORATIONS, I don’t do a lot of reviews. This isn’t a review blog. It is my personal blog all about me and my family. I have been getting more and more requests from companies however, to either review or try […]
So according to my son….according to at least ONE girl in his class….THIS is what he looks like. Apparently, in grade one he and this girl were playing ‘Twilight’ and Adam had to play Edward and this girl was Bella and they kissed on the LIPS!!!

I tend to stay on the periphery of any big stushies that hit the interwebz. You know what I mean..the sahm vs the working mom, the mommy blogging bashing, and the review blogger bashing…but I am sitting her aghast. Really. I found PHD in Parenting through twitter. I find her posts to very inspiring […]
We celebrated 11 years of marriage yesterday..but really we have been together for like 18! OUCH! We decided to check out ‘NU’ down at False Creek. Lovely views, mellow ambiance and nice food WITH NO KIDS!!! It was nowhere near as pretentious as its website made it out to be. I wish all the Vancouver eateries would stop […]
The scene: Bed time is upon us. Tara is screaming. I mean SCREAMING. Daddy is out. The older sibs are taking advantage of this and trying to ‘negotiate’ bed time and tv time with me. Did I mention the screaming baby? Picture the sweaty and flustered mom in kitchen beating to death the Tempera […]
The cuteness kills me. This is why they all get away with so much…sigh Tara LOVES the water. When I figure out how to get video from my camera onto here, you will see her kicking away…working it! Adam and Caity may drive me batshit crazy on a daily basis..but they sure make great siblings. […]
While for many, schools have already started..here in my neck of the woods, tomorrow is the big day. My son seems to be casual to the point of ambivalence over starting Grade two. I think he has a few anxieties that he is not yet ready to share, and that is okay. He knows I […]
