I will stop stealing socks, pencils and combs from my parents’ house I will have a wine cellar with a fully stocked bar. And appropriate glassware. I will be cured of Impostor Syndrome I will have designed and built a wall unit I will not be angry when I wake up to a sink full [...]

Friday Sendoff: Waffling
I knew this week wasn’t going to be as horrible as I had anticipated. I anticipated a tsunami, and got a small rain shower. That’s good, right? To distract myself from the looming announcement, I popped over to Jean Talon Market at the crack of dawn on Saturday. I wanted to stock up on fall [...]
Back-to-school Blues
post by Meghan **Annabelle’s note**: A Big Congratulations to Meghan!! She had a baby girl (Baby #4!) last week and everyone is resting up and doing well. We love you Meg! Here is the post she sent me prior to the baby’s birth…. Ho hum. I don’t remember feeling like this when I was a [...]
Waiting…
by Meghan So, baby number four was due on Aug 28th and, you guessed it, I’m still waiting. I’m not a huge fan of this Time. I can’t really complain as my pregnancies have all been uncomplicated and healthy etc… the end bit is no fun. I am simultaneously excited to see who this new [...]
Weekend Recap: Canadiana Red
I’ve had a pretty shitty month of June, and so it ‘s with a happy heart that I jump into July. I have to say, that (knock on wood), this summer has been very enjoyable. Maybe it’s in part because Bruno has been pushing the idea that as a family, we need to “go with [...]
Friday Sendoff: Food & Farewell
I know, I know. I’ve posted this on Twitter and Instagram. My new favorite hangout! Have I mentioned it – only a million times? Well, I’ll talk about it some more, because it’s my post and I’ll be repetitive if I feel like it! Seriously though, this “salad” has saved me through this disgusting heat [...]
Weekend Recap: Indulge me, will you?
It’s really hard to stay positive when your family gets hit with with a mix of viruses, one of which rhymes with Fidel Castro. As soon as one is feeling better, the others start falling and the cycle continues. Of course this happens on Mateo’s last week of school, when there are costumes to make, [...]

It’s Father’s Day this weekend and while I’m the first to expect flowers and [...]
Friday sendoff: cushion redux
A while ago (six months? a year?) my friend P was in my kitchen and we were having drinks (coffee? wine?) and she said: Annabelle, when are you going to throw the board out? And I said something to the effect of “What board?” And she points to this wood board that’s been hanging out [...]
Friday Sendoff: Flowers
Every year I treat myself to a morning off from the kids and a trip to the Atwater Market, to pick up flowers for my window boxes. Our snug space may not afford us a “plantable” backyard (living in a coop has a myriad of rules and “guidelines” that are ruthlessly enforced by the boards), [...]
