It’s a well known fact by now that I like my chocolate. I would be the last to say that I eat all healthful foods all the time. But for all my indulgences, the reality is that I actually do buy and eat quite a lot of healthy food. I prefer to keep our kitchen [...]

What is the lure of a beautiful cookbook? What is it exactly that draws me in, lifts my hand to the cover, begs me to open it to see inside? I have a confession…I am a closet cookbook addict. Addict, you say? How can you be addicted to cookbooks? They’re so practical, so useful! Yes. [...]

The post that follows was inspired by a great contest idea from Mabel’s Labels. They are searching for a new blogger to write for them for one year and attend the BlogHer ’10 conference in NYC! Amusingly, my recent move brought sporadic internet access - I had a small taste of what they are suggesting. Between that and the fact that the idea of writing [...]

This is one of the most important, most difficult, most frustrating jobs I have ever held. It asks for sacrifice, sleepless nights, bottomless pools of energy and unending patience. It pushes me beyond what I think I can do, eats at me when I don’t measure up, and drives me crazier than I ever thought [...]

For years my five year old son thought toys simply appeared in our home, materializing out of thin air and good behaviour. I would pick things up for him, stash them, and bring them out when it seemed we needed a new distraction, or a happy reward. Oh, sure, I took him shopping. As a [...]

We spent the day celebrating our baby’s first birthday. A year ago our beautiful baby girl was born, making a big brother out of our son and completing our family. I can’t believe the year has gone by already. I’m so happy to see her change and grow, but there is a tiny part of me that [...]

After a particularly fretful morning last week, I put my son on the school bus, waved goodbye and thanked my lucky stars we had survived the morning. One argument after another, feet dragging, you name it, we had it going on that morning and I was sure we would be too late. Or that he [...]

Does anyone remember when I looked like this on Twitter? Way back when I was first trying to figure out what Twitter was all about, thinking, hmm…what could the appeal be? (9 months and way too many tweets later, I’m hooked.) Well, anyway, then I got ribbed about being a “cup with legs” so I sucked [...]
