Living Creatively, Living the Dream
It’s probably too early to be making fun of the cone around Zuke’s neck… but it’s been eight months since The Tall Blonde lost then regained her eyesight… so she’s fair game! If you recall… a disaster with contact lens Continue reading Laughter… the best medicine.
The Tall Blond called them “The Seven Dorks”. How I’d laugh!!! I can’t begin to guess how many time’s I read that book to her… but Snow White was HER princess. Every little girl has one… don’t they? I remember Continue reading Mirror Mirror…
Is it so wrong that on The Tall Blonde’s 20th birthday, all I can think of is how it’s my 20th Anniversary of becoming a mom? She changed me. Still does. The day she was born, it was my father’s Continue reading Happy Birthday to me…
The tree is coming down! Fact is, I put the thing up too early but I wanted it there for a party I had on the 10th and while I wanted it up early, sadly, I wasn’t ready for it Continue reading Oh Christmas Tree…
It started with the sugar angel. The Damn Elf, tipped over the sugar bowl and made a mess on the kitchen counter… but the kids got a kick out of it! I’d seen it online a few days before… this Continue reading Damn Elf…
I’ve been driving this car for O’Regan’s for a few weeks now and I have to admit… I’m quite smitten with it. Besides the adorability factor of the Sonic… it’s a treat in a parking lot and with the packed Continue reading Chevy Sonic…
Last night I lay in bed wondering how I was going to pull off getting home from Dartmouth in a snow storm when chances are, school would be cancelled for the children by lunch time. Luckily I have my winter Continue reading Snow day…
I knew Bones had been working on an “Animal Adaptation” project on Cougars! However, being that it was an “in class project”, she hadn’t brought home her work and was happily going about putting together her PowerPoint project… telling me Continue reading Animal adaptations…
I was so sick of the mess it wasn’t even funny! Stuff everywhere. You know how it is…. simply too busy to empty the dishwasher so the next group of dishes begins piling on the counter and filling the sink… Continue reading Not so messy…
On Sunday I was somewhere between woofing my cookies and passing out. Bones, however, was in her glory. Perched on top of her favourite pony with a smile even brighter than the gleam in her eye…both of them…more than thrilled Continue reading Show time…
This weekend Spiderman had a hockey game in Canning… and being that the Annapolis Valley is known for its Pumpkin patches… we headed out early to take in a few adventures with The Tall Blond in tow as she was Continue reading Noggin’s farm…
Yesterday morning had me spraying every surface in my house with an anti-flea chemical and feeding my noble beast a pill disguised as a cheese slice… forcing the annoying varmint to jump from their warm cosy host onto the the Continue reading Flea Bag…
I have NEVER wished for the weekend to come so desperately in my life… just so I can sleep in on Saturday morning. I’m exhausted. Seriously… how do you people do this everyday? I’m used to getting up at seven Continue reading Too pooped for my pants…
I was good right up until we approached the sign that said “ANTIGONISH 25 KM.” The Tall Blonde’s excitement was overwhelming and my heart, once again, was sinking. It’s been a long few weeks of wondering if she’d even be Continue reading Make you feel my love…
Just yesterday I turned 13. My girlfriends came for supper and we gathered around the dining room table for cake and presents. My parents gave me lilac coloured painter pants, a pair of pink skinny jeans and a t-shirt with Continue reading 13…
Bones and Spiderman are home! It’s been a chaotic two weeks… The Tall Blond losing her eyesight during the first one… and coming down with a nasty sore throat for the second! It’s probably a good thing “the littles” have Continue reading Orange you happy…
I’m in a bat cave! On Monday, we shut out the lights, closed the curtains and began our week of darkness! It seems The Tall Blond hurt her eyes in an industrial accident…minus the industrial accident. The corneas on both Continue reading Blind as a bat…
Being a nurse is the one “mom trait” I’m not all that good at! My mom was one… gave it up the day before my first birthday in order to be a stay-at-home mom. She knew when to ice and when Continue reading Nurse mom…
I greatly enjoy my nights on the town. Just the other evening my girlfriends and I sat in il Mercato eating deep fried risotto balls and drinking Crispy Crunch Martinis before heading to Durty Nelly’s. Last night… just as fun… me, Spiderman and Continue reading Halifax Busker Festival…
The brochure on the table of the lounge at The Digby Pines depicted a map of a tiny town with photos from a half dozen “must see” shops. We were on our way to Upper Clements Park and since it didn’t open until eleven… Continue reading Flight of fancy…
