It’s a love thing…

Posted on May 8, 2010 by Colleen ODea

I don’t really get this “love” thing.  (The fact that my soon-to-be ex headed South this morning with his girlfriend might be part of the problem.  Things have been heading south for awhile!) The love thing… well… I went to The Court for my son’s weekly Continue reading It’s a love thing…→

Let kids be kids…

Posted on April 25, 2010 by Colleen ODea

CAR!!! Yelled out at one point or another by every child on our street. Nothing is more exciting than forty kids playing. Having a blast on a sunny day with water balloons and squirt guns, basketballs and footballs, baseballs and Continue reading Let kids be kids…→

Get a little dirty…

Posted on April 16, 2010 by Colleen ODea

All Lovin’ No Oven…

Posted on April 10, 2010 by Colleen ODea

I eat cookie dough and cake batter! Fact is, sometimes I make my chocolate chip cookies just to eat the dough. My boy and I headed to the Chicken Burger for lunch and for some reason thought we should finish Continue reading All Lovin’ No Oven…→

Jumping Hurdles…

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Colleen ODea

She graced my life a little over 18 years ago. There she was. Pink, soft, wrinkled, with a hint of red hair. I was amazed, baffled, totally in love. It was, my very own Murphy Brown moment. You remember the Continue reading Jumping Hurdles…→

Here I go…

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Colleen ODea

So, here’s the thing…back last summer I started a blog about my breakup and divorce. I didn’t tell a soul about it. It was my plan to blog my horrid experience, and if someone stumbled upon it and it helped Continue reading Here I go…→

Sometimes, you have to take a few hits to figure out who you really are! Curtains are Open is about moving forward, accepting change and finding happiness in the craziest of places.

I'm thrilled so many of you have been along for the journey and find inspiration in my story. The curtains are open. Read more...

Totally freakin' HONOURED to be one of She Knows Canada's Favorite Mom Bloggers.
