I haven't been writing much lately. Partly because the last 10 days have been a merry-go-round of commitments both for the kids and the adults. Partly because I've been feeling the pressure of the season to go out and BUY! And partly because I've been busy mentally filing away and letting go (once and for... Continue Reading →
"Good enough may not only be good enough, but actually best" -Deborah Needleman (in reference to Holiday gatherings and decorating) This weekend, I read a wonderfully thought-provoking article in the New York Times. No, it wasn't the op-ed piece featured on the first page of the paper yesterday, although that was phenomenal. It was the... Continue Reading →
So I woke up yesterday morning absolutely terrified. I had a sense things weren't going to go well, and I was scared. I was so scared, that I even, through tears, asked the Husband to meet me at the doctor's appointment, which I try NEVER to do (handling these appointment on my own is my... Continue Reading →
Nope, this isn't an article about post-thanksgiving weight management strategies (I may be Canadian, but we celebrate American thanksgiving which meant this was a weekend of family and food for us!).

Wednesday was one of those days that was practically perfect in every way (thank you Mary Poppins, and yes, I'm still in Disney mode). While I may be heard to grumble from time to time about how early my kids are up in the morning, the honest truth is . . . I kind of like... Continue Reading →
While I proclaimed my love of Disney yesterday, the one aspect of the Most Magical Place on Earth that really bothers me is the over-abundance of sugar-laden foods. On one had, I absolutely understand the desire to celebrate a trip to Disney with special food treats. I do enjoy the Mickey ice cream sandwiches (and... Continue Reading →
We're just back from an extended vacation at Disney World. I didn't post while we were gone; not because I didn't want to, but because I was simply too busy having fun with the kids and all the friends we met up with while we were down there. And just as I was getting ready... Continue Reading →
There is a lovely little-known tradition in Chanel stores around the world; if a man purchases the classic Chanel handbag for the woman in his life, he is asked to write a love note to her. For on the inside of the front flap of the bag, there is a little zippered pocket, put there... Continue Reading →
