It’s time to answer another of your Skribit suggestions… Anonymous asked and 18 of you voted for: Tell Us How You Met The Big Guy… Disclaimer: This is perhaps the laziest post of all time. This story was told at our wedding reception by the gal who takes credit for us being together. This is [...]

-I love Japanese mandarin oranges. The Chinese ones usually suck - just like the toys. I just bought case of Satsumas from Peru at Costco that taste just like the Christmas ones. Score! Where’s the fun fact? I only eat the “meat” in mandarin oranges. I peel each [...]

-Being a mom - 99.9% of the time it’s fantastically awesome to be a mom to my amazing little family members. -My husband’s hugs. He can always make me feel better, even when I’m hemorrhaging. -Being busy. Sure, I haven’t been caught up on my to-do list in two years but I’d rather that than [...]

-Teething -The first period after giving birth. What’s this 5.5 months crap? I was banking on a year this time. -Teething -Hemorrhaging within an inch of my life. See above. What is up with that? I might as well hole up in the house for a week. -Teething -Customs fees and duties for cross-border shipping. [...]

I love shopping, and I especially love shopping online. I try to buy Canadian as much as possible (and promote Canadian business via reviews at TOP)but it’s not all patriotism. It’s also frugality. I love supporting the economy of my country, I love supporting any parent-run business and I love not leaving [...]

*I’ve been the often-not-so-proud owner of 5 vehicles. *My first car was a silver and rust 1981 Mercury Lynx. I bought it in high school (1992) even before I got my driver’s license with my saved paychecks from working at McDonalds. It was horrible, but it served it’s purpose of ensuring [...]

As I mentioned in the most recent Fun Fact Friday, I love a clean house but I hate cleaning. Also, I love green products but am not big on the colour green unless it’s bright, sunny and limey. Or is it lime-y? Anyhoo, people keep sending me green cleaning products to try [...]

It’s amazing the things you hear and the things you find yourself saying once you have children… Me: No, you don’t get a chocolate chip for farting. Sorry, buddy. Primo: My penis on da table! Me: Why is your penis on the table? Primo: Penis goes on da table! Hahaha! Primo: I have a penis, dust [...]

*I very rarely go to movies. I went to one when pregnant with Primo, one when pregnant with Bella, perhaps one in between and one this week. (Sex and the City was great - I laughed and cried intermittently, and you definitely don’t need to have watched the show to enjoy it. [...]

I almost feel like an adult! Well, I would if I wasn’t taking a 4.5 month old baby with me. A girlfriend and I are taking our babes and heading out to see Sex and the City. I only watched the show a handful of times but I’m still excited to see the movie. [...]

Good thing it’s almost midnight. In the last 12 hours, I have been: *Puked on twice, a la Bella. A mixture of breastmilk and snotty mucous does not smell nice. *Snotted on multiple times, a la Bella. The poor think has her first cold, and it’s not a nice one. I’m shoving my boob in [...]

18 people have voted for more recipe makeovers in that little Skribit widget in my sidebar, so here’s another one… Keep the suggestions coming, by the way! Unfortunately, my name’s not Ree so you won’t ever get beautiful step by step pictures from me (I even stole the one at right from allrecipes.com because I was too [...]

*Every Friday I go to Costco with two (or more) girlfriends and our kids. We are a total gong show. We all have lunch or a snack at the concession after we shop and we’re pretty sure they wish we’d just go home. *I cannot get out of that place under $200. Today [...]

When we moved to this house, we doubled our mortgage and reduced the size of our yard by at least 75%. It’s tough to design such a small space. We spend a lot of time in our back yard. If we’re home, we’re playing outside 90% of the time. We really [...]

It’s a few minutes after midnight so I didn’t quite make it with a Tuesday post. It was one heck of a crazy day around here. Primo’s been working on his molars since January and the first one FINALLY poked through on Monday. Along with that he’s also fighting a cold. He’s had [...]

It’s a travel day today, so Primo chose his months-long obsession to share with you as a random kid-vid. He sings this song day in and day out, often with some rather hilarious lyrics. “Old MacDonald had a farm…Yi Yi Yohhhh. And on da farm he had a ceiling…Yi Yi Yohhhhh. [...]
