Dear Stella, Today is your 9th birthday. Every year I think about how you came into this world on a summer day after 6 hours of labour and a doctor telling me, with the most unapologetic face, that it was too late to get an epidural. That also happens to be the moment your dad will… Continue reading Dear Stella
Spontaneity in San Fran
I am a type A. We can all agree on that. I function best from lists and organization and the ability to see what’s coming at me. So when I was asked to change my plans to add on a spontaneous night in San Fran and NOT have a hotel booked before I got… Continue reading Spontaneity in San Fran
Dirty Dishes: Green Smoothies 3 Ways
I am fanatical about green smoothies. What started out as a once in a while treat has quickly become a mid-day-on-the-go meal that I crave.

How To Be A Good Neighbour
I live in suburbia (for now). As do most of you, I’m sure. I have a fence and a back yard. I have grass that is confetti’d with yellow flowers that are also lovingly displayed on my kitchen counter in a plastic juice cup as a gift from my littles. I have a driveway covered… Continue reading How To Be A Good Neighbour
My Almost Perfect Day
When you have 2 kids in half day afternoon kindergarten, life sucks. Mornings are spent cleaning up crumbs after them. Feeding them. Cleaning them and everything they touch and of course driving them to school mid day. My morning is shot. I crank the tunes in the car leaving the parking lot at 12:15pm and… Continue reading My Almost Perfect Day
