Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Yesterday, I broke the bank. Literally! It fell off the table, hit the floor and exploded into a million little pieces. One of them causing a small (though I’ll gladly take your pity) gash across top of my foot making Continue reading This little piggy…
When Spiderman says we’re out of groceries… what he really means is we’re out of sour cream and shredded cheese. The boy eats A LOT of cheesy nachos with globs of sour cream so much so that he’s growing a Continue reading Movember… again…
I’ve been driving this brand new, 2012 Chevrolet Sonic… otherwise known as “The Pumpkin”… for about a week now. So far… I’m loving it! Well… not in the “I’m definitely buying one” kind of loving it because the fact is, Continue reading Sonic… post 2…
My life is about to change! I can feel it… the signs are there. Yesterday when I arrived home, O’Regan’s had replaced their fancy GM Orlando with the most adorable car I’ve ever seen… an orange GM Sonic the children Continue reading Bippity, boppity, boo…
Some folks drive through Tim Horton’s to get their much needed and beloved cup of coffee…me…I go for my tea…and the garbage receptacles! Don’t get me wrong, I love a drive thru cup of tea on my way to the Continue reading Tim who?
What’s this world coming to when I turn down a day of shopping? While I clearly could have done with the outing, I’m trying hard not to over schedule myself… what with the blog, school, kids, housework, hockey, homework, riding Continue reading Shopping bag…
The horn works!!! Thing is… the one thing I really dislike about the 2012 GM Orlando I’m driving is it’s not mine! With that… I worry that something could happen while it’s on my watch! It’s new and shiny and Continue reading Orlando… blog two…
I’m driving to Orlando with my kids this week! Everything is planned. We’ll pick The Tall Blond up on the way, stay on site for a few days then relax at Crazy’s house in Kissimmee! We’ll swim, take in a Continue reading Driving to Orlando…
When I first started blogging a few folks asked if I’d do “product testing.” You know… folks sending me hydrogenated soup, soy granola bars… lady products. I try the stuff out… then tell you what I think… no strings attached Continue reading Testing, testing… 1,2,3…
Yesterday afternoon, while the rain poured from the heavens and my house remained the messy state it had been all week, I put my feet on my coffee table and turned my focus to the T.V. On more than one Continue reading Julie & Julia…
I wore a new t-shirt the other day and on arriving home, discovered the clear 1X sticker stuck to my left boob. OK… whatever… it was a 2X but I bought it big to allow for dryer shrinkage! That’s nothing. Continue reading Size matters…
I remember growing up in St. John’s, Newfoundland… how I’d love driving down Kenmount Road at night seeing all of the wonderfully decorated car dealerships. The sparkly metallic streamers in the dealership’s colors criss crossing back and forth between strings of light bulbs Continue reading Inflation at the car dealersihps…
Within days my kids will be finished school for the summer… beaches and lakes, Popsicles and sprinklers, adventure and fun await us!! Along with the excitement summer brings… my children will bury themselves in a couple of books where further adventures will find them. Next week, we’ll head to Continue reading A Giveaway from Oxford Learning!
The other day I brought my car in for brakes, rotors and a safety inspection. It FAILED! Something about a left sway bar link kitten and a bushy thing shaped like a donut that’s partially separated from its important cylinder thing with a bolt in the middle that if completely separated would Continue reading It’s all about the detail…
I spend a bit of time on Twitter and today a friend re-tweeted a message asking me to help a young girl named Alice “trend” by using the hashtag #alicebucketlist. For those of you unfamiliar with Twitter, trend lists change quite frequently Continue reading Alice’s bucket list…
I embarrass my children… sometimes on purpose. Sometimes I’ve no idea what I’ve done until a look on a face makes me realize I’ve mortified them beyond belief. I’ve been known to make up ridiculous songs when their friends are in the Continue reading Wave at the bus…
I relished every moment with my children… believing whole hearted that no one could do it as well as I. We had a Nanny (Jennifer) who meant the world to us, but we’d also been pretty jaded by another who was horrible. My kids Continue reading Message with a bottle…
Dear Oprah: Over twenty years ago I was watching your show when something you said shocked me. You were interviewing a young girl and the way you phrased a question caused a response that shook me to my core. It changed Continue reading Letter to Oprah…
This is Zucchini’s new toy. We call it her Grenis… because… it’s green.
Or… maybe this… Or… maybe I should just clean up the yard and put all the crap I threw off the deck yesterday back on the deck and put it all together again in the mis-matched no-one-uses-the-damn-table, the umbrella-has-mold-on-it, the tube lights have all Continue reading Or this…
