Here's what he said recently when he began to overhear Mommy and Daddy talking about Mommy looking for a job: Eldest Son: "But you already have a job!" Me: "Not really, hon." Daddy: "She stays at home all day with you guys." Me: "--Not a paying job." Eldest Son: "But you're an AUTHOR!" *** Awwww!...
The Democrat Party led Congress is exploring the concept of sending the government into family homes to measure the well being of children. Of course the target is the poor or families in which one or both parents have a job that keeps them away from home (e.g. Military Personnel). I don’t know...
My daughter finally got her very own Dora, the Explorer DVD from a friend of mine (Thanks, Gayathri) with a few irritating (to me) episodes which she loves. Anyway, there was this one episode where Dora and her friends save a Prince who is imprisoned in a castle by an evil witch. Yeah, you read that...
So C, you know my friend that was forced to attend The Joe Jonas concert? He is amazing! He is in two local bands. I like the music of one more than the other (which he is well aware). Actually, I am going to see the band that I truly dig on Saturday. C is an artist. I knew this when we met as he...
[edit: after re-reading this post, i emailed cath with one question, "when can i come over and play with your wii?" i wouldn't blame her if she chose to ignore such a random email.] after my rant about the 'darla-shine-club' i needed to unwind. we went to di and rick's house yesterday for a bbq...
google up 'happy housewives club' or 'darla shine' and you will see some backwards thinking as far as a woman's role as a wife and mother. now, i'm not a bra-burning feminist which darla claims is down-grade of the nuclear, family problems. but i am one that likes to find the balance of things....
The other morning, as I was organizing my daily allotment of herbal supplements I'm taking to support this diet, my mother's hands flashed before me. This happens from time to time, and it is always a bit spooky when it does. I remember my mother's hands so well. They were small, squarish. She wore...
we took chaeli to Sick Children's hospital (http://www.sickkids.ca) for an allergy test. knock on wood, i've never had the need to go to Sick Kid's but if i did, it is THE best place to go when pertaining to children in need of medical attention. i've always heard how amazing the place is - the...
I spent the majority of my adult life without a child of my own. It seemed that nieces and nephews would suffice. I was 35 when Elle was born and although the timing was perfect (in that way that only God can pull-off perfect timing), I stumble over how I managed life without her in it for all of...
What was the best thing about your weekend? Well, for starters, I was treated to an unexpected long weekend. There was a construction mishap that knocked out the chilled water supply that is used to cool various buildings from the White River Park area to the IUPUI campus. Due to the outage, my...
I just have to post this! I'm seldom in the same picture as my kid `cause I'm always the one taking them! This was taken by a photographer in our church -- his name is Raphael Torres. Thanks Raph! Priceless!
No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity, if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family, what have you really accomplished? Lee Iacocca in Talking Straight
My four-year old is shocked beyond words. Absolutely stunned. She is unable to believe that some people use paper and not water to clean up after essential bodily functions. "How can they use paper? Won't 'it' stick?," "Won't they get fever because of infection?", "Are you sure they don't dip the...
Mens skin care ‘Man skin care’ would seem like an alien topic to some men. It would keep been even additional alien a few years back. However, supplementary and additional men are now realising the weight of man skin care ( and hence you see markets redden with man skin care products too ). Even...
"*BBBUUUUUURRRRPPP!* excuse me, mommy! i burped!" this is chaeli's way of excusing herself after either burping or tooting. she says it with a really proud grin, too. so i suppose we're now entering the state where our little, sweet daughter is starting to notice and take pride in how musical her...

Me: What do you want for breakfast, honey? ReRe: O-meal. Me: Ok, I'll make you some. ReRe: And tea! Me: ? ReRe: Pease. Me: Ok, honey. (Make oatmeal and tea, which is warm milk and honey). Here's your breakfast. ReRe: (Chugs the milk, hears Daddy upstairs) Go see Daddy! Me: Honey, eat your oatmeal....
I don't know why I hadn't heard about this playground before, but in High Park there is a community-build playground called the Jamie Bell Adventure Playground that is truly amazing. Here is a picture: For anyone thinking about making a trip to Toronto with kids, the playground, and the rest of High...

here's a question i'd like to post to anyone with or without kids of their own... we have these neighbours... very nice people... but they have two kids (one around 7 or 8, the other about 3 years of age) who seem to have a habit of looming around our back patio (townhouse property - open concept so...
