Living Creatively, Living the Dream
With Mother’s Day just around the corner, I’m left once again wondering what to get…to show my mom just how much I love her. And really…there’s nothing. Aside from wrapping the moon in a large blue bow, finding the perfect Continue reading East Coast Momma Collective Spring Fair!
Today is the anniversary of the day a crazy lady showed up at the church wearing a disco ball tam on her head. When two elderly women, who were supposed to be seated at the same table, refused to be Continue reading The anniversary of the day…
I thought I’d give meditation a whirl. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about how it anchors your mind…keeps you in the present…allows your brain the rest that’s needed from this busy world we live in…improves your health and mental Continue reading My attempt at meditation…
There are so many things I can remember about Easter as a child…such as our family, gathered together for a huge Easter feast…happy to indulge in the items we gave up for Lent! Joining an extension of Aunts and Uncles, Continue reading Bunny Cake…
The other night, a friend commented about what a great mom I am…how wonderful my kids are…how she loves reading the stories about them…about their successes and achievements. She asked how I did it…what my “trick” was. Well, here’s the Continue reading My kids are perfect…sort of…not really…ish?
The end of the hockey season always leaves me a little wanting. Wanting to get the gear smell out of my car. Wanting to throw my check book back in the junk drawer ’til next season. Wanting to run from Continue reading For the boys…
“Hey Mom…the button came off my dress pants. Can you sew it on before school tomorrow?” Spider-Man’s entire hockey team wears dress clothes to school on every game day and today will be the last day where the boys will Continue reading How to sew a button on a pair of pants…sort of.
I’ve never been all that comfortable with flying. Or bugs. Hornets freak me out, passing a log truck gives me the willies, and I hate being stuck somewhere and not being able to pee. I have issues with hockey hits, Continue reading Flankers…
Thursdays find me back and forth between the Bedford exit and the Halifax exit approximately 86 times…give or take about 80. Spiderman has hockey at one time, Bones has volleyball at another…both are at two different highway exits with time Continue reading Cherry Berry…
Logic would suggest that a baking beater on warp nine placed in an unruly container would cause a great amount of cupcake icing to find its way to the ceiling…and wall…and everything within a 14 foot radius. Then again, I Continue reading Baking Bad…
Spiderman was five, six…seven max…when he was locked out of a gym right in the middle of The Tall Blonde’s volleyball game. I’d been tired of him repeatedly running up and down the bleachers…the pounding and movement of the rolled-out Continue reading How I turned from hating volleyball…to loving the game.

If I had no expectations at all then maybe, just maybe, the disappointments wouldn’t be so great. But then…where would I be without expectations? Without these over pumped-up goals and dreams that have me reaching far beyond what I’m capable Continue reading Expectations…
Last night, sitting around with a couple of girlfriends…we chit chatted about the year ahead, our expectations and what we’re working towards. My friend, Spray (a name she received from a single hilarious moment involving a spray bottle), spoke quite Continue reading Being present…
When my marriage ended, I had an unrealistic idea of “how long” it would take to get through the pain. I was a few months away from hitting the one-year mark when my counsellor asked me, “what exactly do you Continue reading 1,827 days…
The other night, sitting at a friend’s house, a discussion came up about taking the kids to see One Direction in Boston and before I knew it, computers were out and tickets were being acquired and I was sitting there Continue reading Home for the holidays…
Photo Credit: Christin Roper Last night was a little surreal. My friend Sharon, standing next to me with a smile on her face, told me to take a moment to look around. Really see what was happening before me. She Continue reading Love Wins…
Pssssst….hey Halifax! I know a secret. See that door covered in plastic? Well, very soon, as in the next few weeks, Lion and Bright Cafe and Wine Bar will be opening! And I got a sneak peek!! Attached to Local Continue reading Lion and Bright Cafe & Wine Bar…
Up until 9:57am this morning, I was having a shitty day. Even running into an old friend at a volleyball tournament didn’t take away the feeling. Watching Bones spike a ball or make a fabulous serve, while exciting…I just couldn’t Continue reading Kindness…
When bones was just a wee little girl…still with a ponytail high on her head…we’d curl up on the couch to read Good Night Moon and Guess How Much I Love You…her two favorite stories. She’d shriek with each page Continue reading I love you to the moon…
