As soon as a child is born,one of the first questions that everyone asks is “who does s/he look like?” When my oldest son, Kyle, was born, the answer was simple – John (my husband). We basically made a carbon copy of my husband in miniature form. However, the resemblance to family members doesn’t stop there. My […]
My husband’s inappropriate use of grammar
I have a confession to make. I suck at writing. The thing is, I shouldn’t really be confessing to this since I’m a professional writer now (aka, stay at home mom with a blog). But, it’s true! My grammar is terrible, my spelling sucks (spell check and I are best friends in case you don’t […]
Passover, you really need to step it up.
While we’re raising our children Jewish (I’m Jewish, my husband isn’t), we do sometimes “celebrate” non-Jewish holidays. After-all, one set of grandparents isn’t Jewish and we don’t want to deprive them of what I’m sure was their life-long dream of spoiling their grandkids during the holidays. So this season, the two competing holidays that we’re celebrating are […]
Is my second son an easier baby OR, is it me?
When I was pregnant with our second child, the most common declaration that my husband and I heard from other parents is that the biggest challenge of parenthood was going from one child to two. Even my sister-in-law who has FOUR kids said that this statement resonated with her. So we were prepared for the “worst”. However, […]
Birth Photography. Is it a trend or here to stay?
Anyone who knows me, knows I’m obsessed with pictures. I’m only an amateur but I’ve been attached to a camera for as long as I can remember. Of course, for special occasions, I leave the picture taking to the professionals, including my wedding, special family events and sometimes vacation pictures. The only thing I haven’t captured on film (or […]
What would you do…? Overhearing a child talk about gun violence
Fact: gun violence in Canada is not as bad as it is in the states. Stricter laws make it harder (but not impossible) to get a gun here. It’s also not a social norm to own a gun in Canada whereas it’s common practice in some American states. Reality: Canada is not immune from gun […]
10 reasons why it’s hard being a toddler
While Kyle’s babyhood went by too fast for me, I’ve really enjoyed watching him grow as a toddler. Especially since he turned 2! He has such a personality, and his high-energy is so contagious. Of course, there’s the other side of toddlerhood where I often find Kyle frustrated, mad or crying. This is obviously not a […]
on having a second child
I just had my second child two weeks ago and while the nights are still sleepless and the laundry is never ending, here are a few things I learned along the way that are different this time around. 1. Labour During my first labour, I was in so much pain that I swore up and down that I would never […]
Sparkling Vintage Jewelry!! My best giveaway ever – $250 to Bee’s Knees Gems (Open to Canadians)
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been a little obsessed with big sparkly gem jewelry this year. I know they’re a big trend right now, and that might be why I’ve gone bling crazy, but you have to admit, they do look great. I spent most of the winter season searching for a perfect antique necklaces to wear for the various […]
Sports! From the Girl’s Corner
The saying “and from the girl’s corner…” is a familiar one in my household. My husband, an avid sports lover, likes to use that term whenever I make a sports-related comment or question that usually has nothing to do with what is actually going on in the game. To be fair, he doesn’t mind that […]
