Why why why do I read the internet before waking up fully, before drinking my coffee, after being kicked in the face and forced out of my warm bed at 5:30am? I am like a hermit crab without her shell when I first wake up in the morning. I am defenseless, easily affected by good [...]
When I was pregnant, someone asked me whether or not we would use a pacifier with our baby. I panicked, because I hadn’t thought of that yet. I had planned out my diaper system, sorted and folded and washed and resorted all the white or neutral colored baby clothes, scoured the baby name book and [...]
Only mad dogs and Englishmen stay out in the midday sun, right? So only crazy Vancouverites head out to the frozen wasteland (I mean beautiful prairie) in the depths of winter. Yes, that’s right.

Bea and I have been going to Music Together classes for a few months now, on and off. The classes are great fun, our teacher is so enthusiastic and obviously loves spending her time making music with children, and we even learn a bit about music in the midst of having all kinds of fun [...]
This morning I did something that made me really feel like a stay-at-home mom. I made chocolate puffed wheat squares. They were so quick and easy, so yummy and chocolatey and chewy and oops where did the other half of the pan go? It’s the autumn eating season for sure. So, since I enjoyed gorging [...]
