Pros & Cons of a Big Family
Don’t do it! Yup that’s my advice to anyone who wants to have many, many babies and by many, I mean 4 or more. When we decided to have children I always knew I’d have 2 babies. I grew up in a family of 2 and so just assumed I would also have 2 kids. My hubby, however, … Continue reading
Bloggy Guilt
Yes, I am afraid that I have discovered that my guilt has no bounds. First there was Mommy Guilt. Yes, I chose to add hundreds if not thousands of diapers to the landfill instead of reusable diapers. I’m sorry Mother Earth. I didn’t make every mouthful of food for my babies from scratch. I didn’t breastfeed the twins. I didn’t … Continue reading
Just Say Yes
I say NO a-lot. And by a lot I mean All. The. Time. No is safe. No is non-committal. Mom, can I have this candy after school? NO. (you’ll ruin your dinner) Mom, can we go swimming today? NO. (I’m not bikini ready) Hey, do you want to go to this big party where you won’t know a … Continue reading
Thank You Mister Officer
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I for one am full up to my eyeballs with turkey, newfie stuffing, mash potatoes and pumpkin cheesecake! Yum-O! Every year we have to go around the table for that dreaded game of “what are you thankful for this year?” And hope that I can come up with something better than, “I’m thankful for … Continue reading
Just Leap

Maybe it’s skydiving or writing a book or packing up your family and moving across the country or changing careers or ending your marriage or getting … Continue reading
I Found My Tribe
I started blogging in December 2011, almost 2 years ago. When I started I knew nothing, zip, zilch, nadda. Google was my BFF and together we were learning or rather I was learning how to write, link, change settings on wordpress, publish and how to add a track back. So, yeah, I was pretty much lost. Until I found my … Continue reading
Life Is Good #90
I took the long way home and I’m glad I did. I stopped on the side of the road to visit with her and 3 of her friends. –
My Bliss List
Wow, all I can say is Wow! I went to Toronto last week to attend my very first Blissdom Canada conference. I learned and loved and danced and laughed and cried (what else is new) and networked. And that’s what it’s all about. Being a blogger usually means that you sit alone in your kitchen with your lap top and … Continue reading
Alone Time
Last week I was in Toronto for a huge blogging conference (which I highly reccommend doing if you have a blog) and I found myself alone in a city I don’t know for the first time, I think ever in my life. I was never one of those adventurous types that graduated school and then grabbed my back pack and … Continue reading
