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 [...]

FSendoff: In Preparation
Remember this? Well, I do and somehow I’m back in the same spot! We leave for peaceful Bob’s Lake on Saturday but my mind if racing with all the things I need to tie up before I leave. I wonder if men are plagued with this pre-vacation stress. I doubt it. TO DO (SEWING + [...]
Weekend Recap: In 10
Introducing the boys to the Orange Julep- or as they call it, the Giant Orange. They were slightly disappointed when they realized that the Giant Orange didn’t squirt juice at them while they ate. They quickly got over that when they ate their hot dogs. What-Not-To-Wearing-Myself (yes, that IS a verb) which is harder than [...]
M.M.I.A.
by Meghan So I’ve been away from this space for a while. I had great intentions of writing while on holiday. In my head it was going to go something like this: balmy summer days spent languidly alternating between a book and a laptop while the kids amused themselves exploring our new surroundings.

The Slightly-Less-Magical Hat
Chronicles of our Sunday Sewist Jenn After sewing the magic hat for my son I decided I needed a sun hat too. I saw the pattern for the sun hat in Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing book. Looked just like the perfect adult version of the bucket hat I had made for Alex. I had read [...]

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 [...]
The Girouard Bag
I often get asked “Did you go away on vacation? You’re very tan”. Nope, not on vacation, just at the park everyday with my son (and I do use SPF 60 but it only lasts so long). With no yard, the only outside space we have is the park. Girouard park is a couple of [...]
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 [...]
