My new neighbour (and old room mate!) Kerrick is an avid knitter (and way WAY more of an expert at it than I!) and loaned me her ball winder so I could do some stash tidying… 40 balls later… Pretty, huh? I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed using that winder, I found it […]

Veronica’s house
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, friends, love, we have funI spent about every other weekend at this house from the age of 4 through to about 14. It’s probably the most influential house of my entire life, more so than any house I ever lived in. This is the house I think of when I smell pancakes frying, use a white board, look at […]

Lakeside Park, so many memories
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, we have funAnyone that grew up in the Niagara Region has spent time at Lakeside Park in Port Dalhousie. Even Neil Peart, a local hero, wrote a song about it. The wonderful merry-go-round is still there and it still only costs five cents a ride. A good deal for kids of all ages. There are more than […]

Boosting the Blue Jays
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, seriously?, we have funI went to another ball game last night, Blue Jays vs. Cleveland Indians. We got great seats because we went with a friend who’s in a wheelchair: disabled seating’s quite fantastic, actually, you’re on the floor right behind the 100′s and they give you folding chairs, so there’s tons of legroom, you can stand up […]

Exciting give away time!
By Caitlin Jane in we have funShannon ordered the three shirt surprise pack from teefury and liked only 2 of them. This is where I come in. Rather than let shirt #3 rot on the couch, I thought I could mail it to a deserving recipient. This is a Lost shirt, a men’s size XL, it’s pretty big. This is the […]

What we done did do
By Caitlin Jane in love, we have funWent swimming, we sure did. Some of us, at least. The water was crystal clear and cold as fuck, just like I like it. Little Bluff is my very favourite fresh water place to swim, I guess. Don’t look too closely at my love handles, I promise I am working at making them smaller. Then […]

A group effort
By Caitlin Jane in Art!, toys, we have funAri was sent a giant package from Japan including this micro lego set. It’s a little beyond Ari’s abilities (or rather, her patience and willingness to build something so detailed) so after her and Shannon completed the first 4 levels, I took it over and snapped a picture at the end of each level. It […]

R to the izzOM
By Caitlin Jane in we have funAri and I had a girl’s afternoon out on Saturday. We took the subway (which is still a treat to her) to ROM, using our family pass. It’s worth every penny, if you ask me, I can take 2 kids and it’s free. Ish. Did you know how much I love taxidermy? It’s true, I […]

Red shoes and fiaries
By Caitlin Jane in haha, seriously?, we have funHot day here. I was wearing jeans until I practically melted. We’re doing fireworks later, after the sun sets. There’s a mountain of them-I left the store so I wouldn’t hear the total bill-and I’m excited. At the firework store, which doubles as a costume store, I took this picture: It’s wrong on pretty much […]

All weekend
By Caitlin Jane in a good day, crochet, we have funOn Friday I went to see my first Jays’ game of the season. It was freezing cold up in the nose bleeds, wind gusting and T and I snuggled up. It was one heck of a game, Jays won 16-10, so that was exciting. And the young couple beside us who’d smuggled in their own […]
