There’s No Man Singing
This morning I sat in front of the computer, determined to blog, I discovered that I was at a complete loss of what to write about. The more I scratch my head, trying desperately to come up with an idea, the more ideas seem to elude me. It’s similar to when you’re trying to sleep, … Read more
Saarah’s Sneaky Secrets
On Friday morning, while I still wasn’t feeling well, I was determined to write a blog post. I sat in front of the computer, searching through pictures and wracking my brain, trying to come up with something that I might share. While I sat here, I could hear the children in another room, and it … Read more
On Breastfeeding Dinosaurs
I think that my son is a wonderful, terrific, smart, funny, and handsome little gentleman, but sometimes he causes me to stop and scratch my head. He can be rather peculiar at times, to say the least. When he and Saarah play games that have family roles, Saarah is generally the mother, while Tevye plays … Read more
The Famous Harmonica Players
It’s funny listening to Tevye and Saarah develop their vocabulary. One day they discover a new word, and suddenly they wont stop using it. Currently the word of choice is “famous”. I’m not sure where they heard it, or what the original context was, but suddenly, everything is “The famous (insert noun-of-choice here)”, whether it … Read more
Two Years in a Row?! A Follow-Up Piece to “Did We Move to the Arctic?”
This entry has absolutely nothing to do with my children. Not one darn thing. This one is all about me. In “Did We Move to the Arctic” I was lamenting the fact that I’ve only ever won once at our beloved Canadian tradition of Rrroll Up the Rim. Yesterday we were out at Tim Horton’s, … Read more

If I don’t stay on top of them, repeatedly reminding them that they need to keep their toys relatively tidy, then within an hour I find myself avoiding a veritable tidal … Read more
Puzzlepalooza 2012
Sick and tired of flimsy cardboard puzzle boxes falling apart, Nicole had the brilliant idea to switch most of the kids puzzles to Tupperware containers. Not only that, but she had the foresight to tape the the picture from each box to the inside of the lid so that the puzzles shouldn’t get mixed up. … Read more
Baoentoims Day
On the weekend we informed the kids that Valentines Day was this week. Upon this discovery, Saarah was so excited that when she started jumping up and down, she almost put her head through the ceiling. She’s a big fan of the day, despite the fact that she was completely unaware of any meaning or … Read more
Too Darn Cold
While I try and get the kids outside as much as I can, there are some days that it’s just too darn cold or miserable. This past weekend, and now today, really exemplify that. On Saturday it warmed up to three degrees, which, if it had been sunny would have been a terrific day to … Read more
