Today is my brother’s birthday. Rather than celebrate with a bbq at my parent’s house, we’re headed to Jersey to the home of Mafia Joe, his wife Mafia Monica, and their 7-month-old Baby Joey. Jersey doesn’t get much better than this. I get to meet more of the NYC crew. Brett is notorious for being [...]

Hello world. I miss you guys. Life is settling nicely now, and I’m definitely going to have more time to write, so there will be more frequent postings. I wrote this at the start of the month… The Fortress of Solitude is no longer. Yesterday I spent twelve hours moving, with the aid of my [...]

My apologies guys and dolls for the radio silence. Life has gotten great big crazy lately, and I’m happy to report, mostly in the best of ways. My book is half written, but is currently on an oh-so-brief hiatus as I pack up our households for our move at the end of the month to [...]

Christmas day. Last year, I made a silent wish that in a year’s time I would be sharing the holidays with someone I love. That wish came true, but I find myself unable to completely immerse myself in the joy of such a thing without worrying that I won’t have this kind of happiness next [...]

The only good thing about November is that it is immediately followed by December, which I think perhaps is one of my favourite months of the year. I love the winter, and the snow, and the cold. It affords such quiet, introspective time, and finding interesting ways to keep your world filled with warmth and [...]

That’s my word for the week. I like it. I want to use it to describe myself, but I think that’s one of those words best left to others to use. It always makes me thing of those busty, lipstick-wearing sexy chickens that used to roll with Gonzo from the Muppet Show. If I haven’t [...]

Yesterday we bought a Christmas tree, set it up in our living room, went to a pot luck at the girls’ school, and then decorated the tree with all of the decorations we’ve made. I’m a PTA mom. I have children to enjoy the holidays with. I have a family. Every day we are growing, [...]

I’m trying to post something here every day, but sometimes when I wake up in the morning, my head is so full of cobwebs, I have nothing really to say. This morning, we’re listening to music that is slightly too loud for my morning ears, our three year old is laying on the sofa looking [...]
More Mama Love

From my girlfriend’s mama: Three in the bed and the little one said “roll over, roll over” They all rolled over and one fell out… Two in the bed and the little one said “roll over, roll over” They all rolled over and one fell out… One in the bed and the little one said [...]

Everyone I know and love is having babies. Ok, not EVERYONE, but close. While sharing in their joy and excitement, this also leaves me feeling a little bit like the last unicorn. The last year and a half in Schnooville has been an incredible exercise in learning my independence, and really growing very happy standing [...]
