The fall of America, the rise of “Honey Boo Boo”

by

Up until a week ago, I’d never heard of the  show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo (on TLC).  I saw a friend’s Facebook status mentioning Honey Boo Boo but not knowing what she’s talking about, I overlooked it.  Coincidently, about an hour later, I saw previews for Honey Boo Boo and decided to watch it.  To say the least, […]

My Journey Through Miscarriage (part 3) – Guest Post

by

DAY 10: (Before reading this post, please read my previous posts: part 1 and part 2 as this will be completely out of context otherwise). I inserted the Misoprostol at 10:15 a.m. and took two Advils straight away for precautionary measures. When I met with the OB, and she gave me the Misoprostol prescription, she said that I […]

To read part 1, go here: http://wp.me/p248bN-jU +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ DAY 8: I needed to see it with my own eyes.

What I really want for mother’s day this year

by

As a blogger, I’m always checking out a lot of other blogging sites and local mommy sites. The trending topic these days is “what is your ultimate mother’s day gift?” Most people have answered with something along the following lines: Hugs, snuggles and kisses from my kids. Or, spending the entire day with the kids. And […]

Are we raising the next Sidney Crosby?

by

While my husband and I (okay, mostly my husband) are completely devastated that our beloved Leafs, or any other Canadian team for that matter, didn’t make it (far) in the playoffs this season, we may soon have another reason to cheer. It appears that our 19 month old son is slightly obsessed with hockey. Every morning when […]
