Well, I’m sick. And it always happens right at the time when you finally have the initiative to do things, doesn’t it?
I’m finally starting to lose the rest of my “baby weight”, the realization of which makes me want to really start exercising, because I know that it will do some good.
It’s my [...]
And while we’re on the subject of song parody. I’m going to take you back to 1993 — grade 9 Language Arts with Mr. Haugen. We had to do a big booklet of all kinds of poetry: limerick, haiku, you know, the usual. One part had to be a song parody. And given that I was [...]
Marc and I saw Walk the Line last night at the Galaxy cinema in town. The 6:50pm show. We got there just before 6:40. Now, we don’t normally go to weekend shows, but this time we had to, and figured that 10 minutes would be plenty of time to get our tickets — this is [...]
To be sung to the tune of that KITH classic “These Are The Daves I Know“:
Dixie: [Spoken] Hi, I’m Dixie Vandersluys. I’d like to tell you about the babes I know (born via c-section in the last 5 weeks).

Just a few short days ago, we purchased our first eggnog of the season. Shortly after that we enjoyed a nice “eggnog moment” together, sitting down and relaxing together, each with our own glass (though I only finished half of mine).
This morning, while I was appeasing Madeline’s usual demand for “hot chocolate!”, I noticed on [...]
So the search for the medicine case continued this evening, as Luke was cranky. (You can tell he has almost the perfect temperament, as a bit of crying instantly makes us think that he’s in some sort of physical discomfort.) We each made our own search of the entire house again. Retracing our steps and [...]
I’m beginning to wonder about my daughter. I knew she was very perceptive and has a great memory. But, it’s just getting weird now.
We showed her “Lion King” last week. We knew of a couple people whose 2 year olds love this movie. So we thought we’d show it to her, because she’s obsessed with [...]
Murphy is alive and well and operating the Vandersluys home this week.
Being the good mother that I am, when we went for an overnight trip to Saskatoon last weekend, I gingerly packed our “baby emergency kit” — a vinyl case containing everything needed for any bout of cold, fever, sickness, nuclear holocaust, government coup. Since [...]
Saturday was perhaps one of the nicest “at home” days in the history of the (Marc) Vanderfamily. And you know why I think that was? Because we didn’t start the day off by saying “what do you want to do today?” We always have completely different answers to that question. Strike that. We have the [...]
