Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
This past week has felt like a bit of a tough slog. My energy level was really low and I was also worried about my mom who either had Shingles or the Flu or both….I think both at the same time. Blogging inspiration sort of went out the window….instead it was all about wanting to […]
No really…I want to talk about dreams. Not like aspirations…but crazy weird dreams…. I have always had really vivid dreams….very detailed, amazing locations…..have always enjoyed them. Lately however one recurring theme in all the dreams I keep having is starting to creep me out. Perhaps all you folks can help me out with this. Lately, […]
Apart from sucking at parenting…we do actually try and we do actually try to have some sort of style behind our actions….or excuses…whatever you want to call it. One of our beliefs is that if you are casual and don’t over react to things..then they tend to be not a big deal for your kids….I […]

Most […]
Here I sit in the middle of that weird week between Christmas and New Year’s where some people are on vacation, and others work and the kids can’t figure out what to do with themselves. I remember working this week. In retail it is insane as people scramble to spend the last of the money […]
My awareness grew of this strange thing called a ‘Tassimo’ as more and more people tweeted about it. “What is this strange thing that people are all a twitter about?” I thought. More and more people were reviewing them, winning them, getting them. As a staunch PLAIN coffee drinker (lattes are as exotic as […]
So I am a bit of a scaredy when it comes to COOKING seafood. I do some salmon, sole, but nothing fancy. When I want my kids to eat something other than CHICKEN I have bought some of the nice and easy AND Canadian BlueWater products. The folks behind BlueWater have asked me to review […]
