Living Creatively, Living the Dream
This morning, Spiderman wrapped his arms around me and told me I was the best mom in the entire world. He sang made up songs with silly words expressing how fabulous I was… the best thing to ever happen in his life… how beautiful, special, Continue reading Why I’m wonderful…
Wasn’t I surprised when I ended up sleeping in the middle of my bed with a child on either side… dog at my feet. The other night… thunder roared through the night and lightning lit up our skies when at first one child, then Continue reading Calm before the storm…
Seems a fellow in Truro is sick of Tuna sandwiches and placed an advertisement on Kijiji (click on the link to read the entire ad) that states… “I have a pre-cut Tuna sandwich I want to offer up for a trade. The tuna Continue reading Straight from the can…
With the exception of one tiny glitch…which actually did a pretty good job putting a damper on my day…I had a fabulous birthday. The morning started with my “Birthday Basket”…a tradition between half a dozen friends on the street who put together a basket Continue reading My swell birthday…
My birthday is Tuesday so last night brought a group of people out to begin the week long celebrations! What? Can’t a girl celebrate for an entire week? We started at the Lower Deck enjoying another wonderful evening of Paul Lamb Continue reading They herd…
Tonight is “Italian Dinner Club” and while I was unsuccessful in finding a single, hot, Italian to take as my date, I plan on deciding by the end of the day what I’ll bring as an appetizer! If and when I get my car Continue reading Light Italian…
With all the talk on Saturday of the world ending, I took a moment to reflect on my life to see if I was happy with the way things were going… where I’ve been… what I’ve achieved. OK never mind… I Continue reading Life is good…
I’ve been invited to join the neighbourhood dinner club and Friday night is “Italian Night”. Apparently I have to bring a hot Italian dish and it’s proving to be more difficult than I thought. In fact, no amount of searching on-line is bringing me the Continue reading Italian night…
I didn’t mean to duck when the ball was heading straight for my youngests’ head. While I agree that my instincts should have been to protect her… I didn’t. And she’s never quite forgiven me. It’s the reason she hates baseball and sadly the same reason she hates soccer… and… Continue reading Heads up…
I’ve recently been made aware that one of the most important characteristics of a cougar is their ability to accelerate quickly then pounce to catch their prey. They’re powerful, graceful and supremely adaptable…known as “stalk-and-ambush” predators. Men are needy and in the unfortunate event Continue reading Stalk and ambush…
Last year, Little-One and I met up with a few of her friends at a local restaurant for wine and lobster poutine! It truly was a lovely night… and quite possibly the first time I realized I had room in my heart Continue reading Pepper and Paint…
I can’t count! Last month I wrote the “Queens 13th update” but I somehow skipped the number twelve! I’ve never been great with math… evident from a lovely meal at Gib’s where her seven year old was pounding times tables at me Continue reading Queen’s 12th update…
My garden has been overrun with weeds, I don’t have one of those little rakes to bark up the mulch, there’s stuff growing in places I’m pretty sure stuff isn’t supposed to be growing and I’ve no gas in my mower Continue reading The grass isn’t always greener…
How awesome is this? I got a kick when I saw Beatrice and Eugenie at the wedding and commented how they looked just like Anastasia and Drizella but I never actually went to the book to see how much! Now Continue reading Fairy tales do come true…
When I prayed for this drought to end… this is not what I meant! We’re on day 22 of rain in Halifax and moss is beginning to grow behind my knees… not to mention my lawn. I’m popping Advil like Continue reading Out with the old….
Ever have one of those weekends so jam packed that Monday arrives and you’re torn between wanting it to continue and fighting the urge to crawl back to bed? It doesn’t help that I had a crappy sleep… waking in the middle of the night Continue reading Sweating the small stuff…
Quite unexpectedly I became a mother. And when I say unexpectedly, I’d a few months to get ready and was all too aware of the circumstances that found me shocked by my protruding and constantly moving belly…but I was younger than most. Continue reading Reflections on becoming a mom…
I’ve always been drawn to female singers. The thing is… I aspire to be like them. I picture myself secretly learning to play guitar and stepping onto the stage of a dimly lit, seedy, smoky, rum scented bar… blowing everyone away with my raw Continue reading Adele…
My girlfriend Ticker called me to tell me she loved my store and that she was buying a shirt. I laughed. We also talked about politics, religion and sex… but mostly that she was going to buy a shirt. That Continue reading A little t-shirt just for you…
Remember the Vees? Back in the eighties they were a force to be reckoned with. An AHL team based in Halifax from 1971 to 1984, the games were awesome… bringing much excitement to the city not to mention handsome hockey players on the streets of Continue reading Nova Scotia Voyageurs…
