When you don’t ride public transit you miss out on the joy that is humanity. In the last few weeks, I have run into many interesting characters such as: 1) The person reading Sweet Valley High #64. I was intrigued, mostly because I didn’t know that girls were into those books anymore. And it turned […]

Buggerflies
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, we have funWe went out to St.Catharines to visit my mother today, as my dad is in England on vacation and she’s very lonely. Plus the Easter bunny had made a pitstop at her house with underwear for all of us. We also went to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls, and Shannon and Ari went on […]
Acting
By Caitlin Jane in babies, haha, we have funLike in Vanity Fair magazine… “You’re a widow in Siberia with no food for your children.” “You’re the lead guitarist for Biohazard and just found out there’s no beer backstage.”
Puzzling
By Caitlin Jane in daily grind, loveAnyone that knows me is aware of my love of crossword puzzles. I started doing them in college to get through the monotony of between-class-time and to appear busy so that the actors wouldn’t bug me with their constant whining. It didn’t stop them, but I did get better and better at them and if […]
D.P.O.I.

I mean, hundreds of 3-5 year olds in ball gowns and tiaras with sparkling wands and $12 cups with rainbow ice in them. And one little boy who had a tutu and a floral tiara […]
Spring has (almost) sprung.

Which, if you were curious, happens each year with remarkable regularity on May 11th. An easy way to remember it this year is that it coincides with Mother’s Day. […]
Play
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, toysWe’ve been busy playing with Playmobil toys lately. I had a few when I was a kid, but I tended to beg for Lego’s more. There’s quite a great collection here now, and we’ve been spending lots of time with it. I narrate crazy stories about princesses and princes and elves and kings that die […]
Birthday
By Caitlin Jane in we have fun, workIt was hardly work, being paid to attend a birthday party. Total. Blast. And yes, it’s cheese cake with Oreo crust, caramel goo on top and brownie wedges all around. Calories? Pfft!
Busy, busy Saturday
By Caitlin Jane in food, making stuff is good, we have funNormally I try to do very little on the weekend. I prefer to lump around and MAYBE cook a meal. Well, today didn’t work out quite that way. First, we went to Dollarama and bought all kinds of treats. Ari and I made Shrinky Dinks. Remember them? They shrink? The set we shared was fruits […]
What almost-5-year-olds think about
By Caitlin Jane in haha, love, toys, we have funEm donated a bunch of preemie clothing to a pile of naked toys that were laying about the house. Thank goodness for that, as they were getting cold. Also, her bookshelf. I love it.
