One of the things I've (stubbornly) held onto since the tumour diagnosis/surgery/recovery is that I spent the bulk of my daughter's first few years of life distracted by what was going on in my own life, and because of that, I never got to spend the same kind of quality time with her in her...

45. Partner Workouts Part II
My older one is involved with his school's cross country team this fall. All summer he'd been curious about running, and would often ask if I could take him to practice his running so that he could get faster. So his interest in cross country this fall isn't exactly surprising. What is surprising (in the best... Continue Reading →
44. (Really) Late Summer Gardening
Today is one of those absolutely perfect late summer/early fall days. The sun is out, there isn't a cloud in the sky, and the cold temperatures of this morning have given way to warm, almost hot conditions this afternoon. In other words, it is an absolutely perfect day to get out and garden. Fall may... Continue Reading →
43. Partner Workouts, A Morning of Baking, And there are only 100 Days Left in 2016!
Those that know me know that there aren't many workouts that I don't like. I love group classes, but am equally happy to workout on my own, or just go for a run.

41. You’ve Got Mail
A while ago, back when Target still existed in Canada, I found these adorable little mailboxes in the dollar section. My daughter's is pink, and I found a white one for my son. Initially I used them for their intended purpose - so they could receive valentines cards from me on Valentines day. But they... Continue Reading →
40. Rainbows
As I was sitting on my front porch after dinner trying to gather my thoughts after a hectic day, I looked up to find a beautiful rainbow gracing the early evening sky. I've had the lyrics to the Rainbow Connection song in my head ever since (I grew up watching The Muppets and my kids... Continue Reading →

38. I’m In Love with the 1-Minute Rule – And You Will be Too
I was inspired this week to try out the one-minute rule. Haven't heard about it yet??? You can read about it here on Gretchen Rubin's site. Or I can explain it to you in a single sentence: If you can do a task in a minute or less . . . DO IT. For me, this has... Continue Reading →
37. Making Time . . . and Forgiving Ourselves When We Don’t
We had an absolutely fantastic drop off on the first day of a brand new school for the older one today. While I thought I had today, this week, this month all planned out, organized, and sorted, I didn't even manage to stick to the plans I had for today. Not that it wasn't a... Continue Reading →
