The summer is just whizzing by. Those four weeks of day camp for Oliver and Callum are almost up. The weekends have been filled with swimming pool and park visits, and riding bikes all around. I’m going to blink and then they’ll all be off to Camp England without me.  I’m going to Camp NYC [...]

So the nursing bras are in the garbage bin. Most of them were almost 7 years old – which sounds ancient, but overall they were only really worn for about a year and a half. Two of them were new, only a year old, and even had underwire – woooo. But they still didn’t support [...]

I used to think babies were scary. That newborns were the most challenging. That I could easily wish away about the first 6 months of their lives, just to get to the part where they were ‘people’ unto themselves. Oh ha ha ha ha ha, old me. You were so naïve. Babies are DA BOMB. [...]

The house is steamy in this May heat wave but everyone is asleep so I’m content. It’s bad that I look forward to all three of them being asleep every night, right? But as it happens, as each of the three go down, and the last one’s finally quiet -  it’s like I can finally [...]

Last March, I was wearing capris and sandals and sunglasses. I remember it distinctly. Of course, I was in Cuba at the time. This year, there was no need to go south for March Break, and it actually got to summer temperatures this week. So yesterday I was in Toronto, wearing capris and sandals and [...]

I joined Pinterest in May 2011 (aside – why do all of my social media anniversaries happen in May?) and quickly became addicted to pinning and re-pinning favourite things. I use it primarily as a place to keep recipes or bookmark images or ideas that I my want to call upon later – such as [...]

Four months in, and I’m still remembering everything I’d forgotten. That babies get linty toes and linty fingers. That it doesn’t really bother me to walk around covered in spit up all day every day. That a cough and a cold in a 3 month old can be completely terrifying. That happy sounds are the [...]

A few weeks ago, I finally managed to assemble all the cloth diapers I had collected (from earlier use with Oliver, or bought or acquired second-hand more recently) and washed and organized them.
