My Tim Hortons Double Double Drive Thru Dance I thought I’d share a wacky Canadian story with my south of the border buddies.  The other day I have a craving for a classic double double (that’s Canada speak for a coffee with 2 sugars and 2 creams) so I load little H up in the van and head to Tim [...]

I’m so excited to be attending a wine tasting and seminar today!  If you love wine and want to know more about Burgundy Wines make sure you follow my twitter stream.  I’ll be posting throughout the day as I sip. About the event: Calgary, Alberta: February 8, 2010—Over the last ten years, exports of Burgundy wines to Canada have experienced [...]

It seems my blog has decided to email out some old posts.  Please forgive me, it must be a glitch caused by switching over templates…it seems I have a widget gone crazy or something.  I don’t have any giveaways running – and won’t have.  So this is just a quick post to apologize for the blog’s antics. So, what do [...]

I was reading through my archives this weekend and it became *smack in the head* apparent my best posts are the ones I’ve written about life.  About the love I have for my dear little H.  About enjoying the little things.  About me. Sure, I’ve enjoyed interviewing creative moms.  And I’ve loved sharing their work with you. But I need [...]

If you’ve been reading for a while you’ll notice that I said the same thing the last time I wrote about my horoscope!

With the ease of vacationers they would picnic on a blanket beneath a tree within sight of her parents’ grave.  She did not remember her parents, not even in a blurry way, so she was not saddened by the names on the [...]

I’m back!  I had a huge break over Christmas and didn’t twitter, blog or post much at all online.  I’ll admit to feeling a little rusty but at the same time I’m feeling fired up and ready to put my plans into action.  I’ve got some new projects starting up which I’m nowhere near being close to announcing yet but [...]

I’m writing this with sadness in my heart, my bones, my very breath.  One of our fellow mom bloggers is living every parents worst nightmare and there is nothing anyone can do to wake her up.  Yesterday Shellie Ross’s (@military_mom on twitter) 2.5 year old son drowned in her backyard pool. Her little boy was the same age as my [...]

I have to admit, I’m not feeling all that inspired this week.  The holiday scramble is upon us and it’s been the focus of most of my attention.  I still have shopping to do and we have a lot to do around the house before our company arrives.  I’d really like to be posting pictures of holiday crafts or cute [...]

It’s dark except for the nightlight on her dresser. “Put your head on my shoulder and I’ll sing to you.” “Tinkle tinkle staw?” “No, something different tonight.” “The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.  Down came the rain and washed the spider out.  Out came the sun and dried up all the rain and the itsy bitsy spider [...]
