#1 reason why I’m looking forward to a garage, is because we’ll be able to store the double stroller in there (and not in our neighbour’s yard, since it doesn’t fit through our gate). And I won’t have to worry about the kids running out onto the street as I put them in. I may [...]
Today Olivia is one month old. Today Olivia got her first "month" picture taken in the Ikea chair, just like her brother and sister did in their first year of life. The other night, when I was especially hormonal, I had a bit of a cry over how fast this month has gone — how [...]
Just sitting here doing some pro bono work for the office (like I don’t have enough to do this week already!). I’ve got House Hunters on in the background. And I can’t stop giggling because the guy who’s looking for a house today, his name is Dickie. Dickie. How can you hear that name and [...]
A few minutes ago I was doing a bit of cleaning in the kitchen and was singing (with passion) that 80s classic "Let’s hear it for the boy". I don’t know if that’s the title, but you know the one I mean: "come on let’s give that boy a hand, let’s hear it for my [...]
This afternoon, as I started to nurse Olivia, I was flipping through the channels and I saw a very pregnant Ricki Lake. I always have to pause when I see pregnant women on the tv, so I watched for a bit. Mrs. Winterbourne. This is not a quality movie, but by the time Olivia was done nursing I had [...]

… just one of the fifty places I’ve had to change addresses with this week.
Moving is fun.
No really. It is.
Yesterday was a bit of a write-off. Actually, being my over-dramatic, hormonal self, I’ve been thinking that yesterday was a total write-off. But I’ve come to realize that yesterday was simply a write-off in terms of the packing and cleaning of the house. You see, Marc volunteered at a soup kitchen yesterday for 4 hours (it’s [...]
My apologies for the silence. This week it’s definitely hit me full on that I have a newborn, a 2 year old, and a 4 year old, all with high and never-ending needs — all of which are different, that we are making a mass exodus from this house in two weeks with all of [...]
The other day I answered the phone and a lady from Public Health immediately began asking me about my nipples and vaginal flow. Once I got off the phone I said to Peggy, who was over helping me pack at the time, "I sure hope she was from Public Health!"
One of the questions she asked [...]
