By far the biggest adjustment I have had to make as a parent is meal planning, preparation and cooking. Gone are the days of having bagels, lox and cream cheese after ultimate practice at 9:30 pm. Or a sandwich, or cereal, or whatever is in the cupboard because I don’t feel like cooking. Instead, I [...]
For some time I’ve wanted to revamp this website so I could use it both as a professional and personal tool. At the least I should update the header with some more recent photos of Amelia. But at 32 weeks pregnant, am I really going to get around to it before baby #2 arrives? I [...]

Being pregnant with a very active toddler is entertaining and challenging. Luckily, I am healthy and fit and haven’t suffered from symptoms that afflict many others. I can still zip up my regular coats (at 7.5 months) and have only purchased two maternity items this time around (a warm/winter hoody dress and an extra shirt [...]

Every time my mom comes over she always brings a bag filled with things. Usually there is food. Sometimes there is mail from New York, or some pictures, or stickers for Amelia or my mom’s latest knitting creation.

Today is Family Literacy Day in Canada. I, for one, didn’t know this “holiday” existed until I read it on meli-mello’s blog (she’s having some giveaways so you should head over to visit). In celebration, Amelia and I are going to go get a library card at our local branch this afternoon.
I am also going [...]
I have a complicated relationship with the colour pink. I used to hate it and until CEGEP or so I refused to wear it. I didn’t want to be associated with such a “girly” colour. Now I actually own quite a few pink things (mostly shirts & sweaters) and I often wear them. I don’t [...]
Well, we finally got the H1N1 vaccine. And by “we” I mean Amelia and I. Ian, apparently, has to wait until Dec 7. Although judging by the lack of crowds today, I bet they open it up to more people sooner than Dec.
I had a hard time deciding whether to get non-adjuvanted or adjuvanted for [...]
A friend who lives on the east coast just sent me a link to a site for shoes for kids under five years old. The site belongs to a friend of hers, who is trying to get an online shoe business going. Anyway, I’d never heard of any of the shoe brands sold on the [...]
Amelia is talking up a storm. She has a small repertoire of words that we can understand, and many more that sound like words but we aren’t sure what they mean, yet. When you ask her where something is, she turns her palms up and raises her hands in a questioning gesture. She has been [...]
