Lately

By in Art!, crochet, love

I’ve been feeling super crappy for the past couple days and I don’t know why. All I want is to be at home with the people I love.  Even retail therapy hasn’t been helping. Home is not only where my heart is, it’s where my yarn stash is. I’ve made 2 more toys in the […]

A-Musing

By in love

When I was a little kid nothing got me more excited than getting something in the mail. Usually it meant that Christmas was coming (my English relatives would send stuff so early it was torturous) or my birthday. But it always meant that someone, somewhere was thinking about me and went to some effort to […]

Soup’s on

By in Art!, babies, food

Well, soup’s in. It’s all gone already. We don’t have a microwave here and my work is not leftover friendly, so we try to eat as much of whatever’s been cooked right away. Including cookies. It’s almost competitive. Today, after a walk to Chapter’s for kid dictionaries (Ari had a stellar review at the parent-teacher […]

Put the potato into the pot

By in food, haha, we have fun

We’ve been going through bags and bags of these fingerling potatoes by President’s Choice. They’re SO good. I just boil them and we eat a bunch with butter and salt, and what ever is left over we fry for breakfast. Healthy, right? Since I found the original peanut (or is it a duck?), I am […]

I live in babytown

By in babies

Spent the afternoon with the twins. They haven’t changed much since Thursday, but they are great. I found out that Gabe particularly likes having his picture taken, then looking at the pictures on my camera’s view finder. He laughed and laughed…I admit, I laughed too. Bea is known as the ham, but he’s pretty funny […]

Mii fit

By in babies, we have fun

I have already been blabbing on about it on facebook, but here is where I say it again: I love Wii Fit. If I had the time, I would fiddle with it every day. I especially like the hula hoop game (only because I love it that the Shannon and Ari miis are in the […]

Sunshine, lollipops and diarrhea?

By in babies, Griping

While most of my life is perfect, occasionally a wrench does get thrown into the works. Today I had the extreme misfortune of drinking bad orange juice at work. Which led to me not being physically able to leave work for a full 15 minutes after my shift was over. Ugh. Of course I am […]

Finally!

By in a good day, daily grind

The zipper on my purse broke…2 weeks ago. I was worried every day that stuff would tumble out on the subway or worse, on the floor in a public washroom. I have been looking everywhere for a replacement (and really, I finally got it in my head that I was allowed a nice purse, one […]

A love letter

By in a good day, daily grind

Dear Festiva, I know most people would not expect you to be my favourite car in the world, but here we are. On the mornings I see you on my way to work I get an extra bounce in my step, knowing it will be a better day. Sorry for the blurry picture, I had […]
