Did you ever have the feeling that your life was meaningless? Without purpose? Hold on, I know, I know. I have purpose in my kids and my family yada, yada, yada.

Life Is Good #98
I am so very grateful for my Aunt Lisa who in the absence of my dear mother, has been a mother figure to me and Nana to my 4 children. She has wisdom and history that I hope to learn from her on so many subjects. One of her many talents is her ability to… Continue reading Life Is Good #98
I’m In The Picture (week 8)
My little girls are growing up so fast. Abby got a hold of my iPhone and started taking pictures with it while she was sitting next to me. She took all of these as we giggled and giggled at each other. Such a happy little girl.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I have to say that I’m happy to bid farewell to 2012 and welcome in 2013. Today is the first day of a brand spanking new year and a new chapter in my adventure.

Penises, Periods and Pot Roast
Dinner time on Wednesday gave a whole new meaning to the term, “hump day”. There’s something about sitting around the dinner table with the girls that inspires the most interesting and sometimes hilarious conversations. And of course, this was the night that Brent had a dinner meeting. It started with Brigette telling me that she… Continue reading Penises, Periods and Pot Roast
The World Is Broken
Friday December 14th, 2012 will forever be a day in history that the world broke not unlike how September 11 did in 2001.

Most of my friends have at least… Continue reading The World Is Broken

We couldn’t help but spoil them this weekend so yesterday we took them to see Wreck-It Ralph at the movie theatre in… Continue reading I’m In The Picture (week 7)
I’m In The Picture (week 6)
The tree is up and the kids are 100% responsible for the decorating of it. It was so nice to hear them talk about the school-ones and the baby’s-first year ones. They look forward to seeing all these little memories hanging on the tree. It might not be Martha Stewart but it’s beautiful just the… Continue reading I’m In The Picture (week 6)
I Win At The Mall Santa Visit
I think that with a 3 year record I can safely say that I win at going to see Santa at the mall. In a perfect world going to see the “big guy” with the kids should be magical. They write their Christmas wish lists. They get dressed up in their cutest coordinating outfits (that… Continue reading I Win At The Mall Santa Visit
Today I Hide
So this is how today went for me…I got up feeling unrested. The sun doesn’t come out. The sky is a grey, dull colour. I go thru the morning routine of getting kids fed, dressed and packed to go to the school bus all while fighting the urge to go back to my room and… Continue reading Today I Hide
