The stars have spoken

I felt my horoscope was apropos and interesting today so I thought I’d share    I have to agree with it, sometimes, being productive IS more important than being clever…although, I tend to think I can do it all, all of the time.  It’s was fun to see this today because I spent most of [...]

The Humor of Motherhood

There’s a special kind of shock, disgust and humor that occurs together in the grey matter of the average mom.    This mental potpourri happens randomly throughout motherhood and is typically reserved for situations that involve poop. Poop on the wall?  Oh My Gawd, that’s Shocking!  And Gross!  But you gotta just laugh and clean [...]

Ken Follett The Pillars of the Earth Review

I started reading Ken Follett’s ‘The Pillars of the Earth’ back in August and I’ve just now finished it.  Yes, I know, it took me ages to make my way through it.  I wasn’t immediately gripped by this one.  The story didn’t take off for some time and I felt like quite a lot could [...]

Piece by Piece

Where have I been?  Why is there no weekly inspiration for this week? I was out of town, far from Calgary but in another ‘C’ city – Chicago.  The trip was part work and part pleasure.  I was sent to take part in a tradeshow for the day job but stayed the weekend and got [...]

Oompa Loompas are Racist?

Hello my name is Heather and my mind has been blown. A bit of background:  Nestle has been wooing mom bloggers.  It makes sense ~ Nestle makes formula which they would like to sell to moms.  There are many moms who love the Nestle brand and many who don’t.  There is a point being made [...]
