Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Cows are everywhere in PEI! Which, I guess is the reason why the ice cream is so wonderful. They’ve tapped into a cream market that simply can’t be beat! Me and the kids took a bit of a tour through the Continue reading Cream of the crop…
For the next few days I’m turning into a tourist. Five days and four nights with my three darlings in a motel in PEI! I can’t wait! The two younger ones haven’t been to the island since they were in strollers. Continue reading Kindred spirits…
There are half a dozen stores I frequent when I’m in the mood to be inspired. Bellissimo on Agricola Street is one of them. I’ve always found it to be a jumble of stuff… piled into a too small space… Continue reading Bellissimo…
For a couple of years now, my son and I have a standing date at the Chicken Burger. It’s not a regular thing… but if we suddenly find ourselves with a bit of one-on-one time and it’s nearing lunch… we head to Bedford Continue reading A boy and his chick…
I’ve been heading up to Maskwa Aquatic Club every summer now for about five years. I pack up a cooler every day filled with various juice packs, sandwiches, healthy snacks and a few not so healthy… grab my kids, a folding Continue reading Likin’ the lake…
I started sneezing yesterday afternoon in a wonderful store in Annapolis. I was looking at treasures from Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Beijing, India… parts of the world I dream of travelling to someday. I thought possibly the exquisite teak wood was affecting Continue reading Ganesha and Guzuntight…
I spent the day packing for camp. Preparing for a week long adventure. Songs around the open fire. Swimming. Giggles in the bunkhouse. Home cooked meals. Bug bites. Friendship and fun. I picked up bug spray… sun screen… travel shampoo…. a flashlight. I labelled clothing Continue reading Kumbaya…
My day was nothing close to normal! It began like every other Saturday morning… girlfriends pounding on the front door bringing me a basket full of wrapped presents and proving the fact that I’m spoiled rotten. I can’t wait until Monday to Continue reading A tisket a tasket….
Just over a year ago I bought my first car. I was newly separated and dealing with moving forward. My “mom van” was 10 years old and seriously on its way to the junk yard. It had seen its share of Continue reading Death of a mini van…
Perez Hilton was just offered 20 million dollars to sell his blog and walk away… three other bloggers want to merge into his Internet address and keep it going… without Perez. It will be interesting to see if he goes for it. Twenty million is a whack of Continue reading Rags to riches…
A couple of girlfriends and myself headed to Durty Nelly’s (or Filthy Nancy’s as my brother so hilariously calls the place) for a plate of nachos, a couple of beer and some good ol’ blowing off steam… girl style! There’s a lot Continue reading Gettin’ durty…
One of my dearest friends blew out of town about nine months ago. An opportunity arose for her family to move to Dubai and they jumped at it. It scared the hell out of me. How was I going to move Continue reading Hot tin roof…
I took the kids to the Discovery Center for science adventures, fun and a kid’s afternoon (I’m not sure that I’ve ever used Science and Fun in the same sentence before!) We played with bubbles and mirrors and shadows… we messed with flexibility, Continue reading Toucan eat candy…
Two emails and a phone call this morning asking me where the “morning” blog is! Seems a lot of you have added it to your morning routine! WOW… and THANKS… I feel incredibly thankful and happy and pleased and thrilled Continue reading Floggin’ my bloggin’…..
Remember homemade pies the way your grandma made them? A big mound of meringue with coconut lightly toasted and sprinkled on top! My kids and I headed to The Valley today to visit an old friend. I’d heard about her Continue reading Living… simply living….
