Curling up to popcorn, shandies and this movie- which I’m sure will be adapted by Hollywood in no time. Feeling like I’m spread too thin, recognizing how many texts, emails, and phone calls are owed. Just answering last week’s Either Or! Spending some time outside of NDG! Hitting St-Henri, Old Montreal and The Plateau- go [...]

Weekend Recap: When I Grow Up
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 [...]

Weekend Recap: If Only
We had a gorgeous weekend. We washed cars, dug out gardens and built a shelter for the tractor. We ate great meals, solved the Saturday puzzle and carbo loaded. Watched a Woody film and went to the Fair. Eeked out before the crowds, came home to face the week. To face meal plans, schedules, work [...]
Weekend Recap: one week, one family
It’s hard to believe that this was the first time we got away in the summer as a family. (Dave’s busiest time of year is always the summer). It was also the first time we went away and spent it completely on our own, without other family or friends (as much as we do love [...]
weekend recap: out’n'about
What a great weekend. My best friend was in town performing at the JFL festival (my favorite Montreal festival!) and I had been prepping and hoping and planning to go see her on Friday night for the last two months. Two weeks ago I got lucky when baby started going to sleep at 8:30 p.m. [...]
Weekend Recap
This weekend was a strange mix- like that party mix you buy at the dep, except not the delicious one, the one with too many pretzels. And we can argue until we’re blue in the face- but let’s be honest here… pretzels are terrible. I can’t pinpoint the reasons that I felt lackluster about the [...]
Weekend recap: Stratford & Wedding
Stratford, Ontario is a place I spent a lot of my childhood in and haven’t been back to visit properly in over a decade. It’s weird to go back as an adult to a place you knew as a child. It was magical to me, with its swans on the river and Festival Theater cannons, [...]
Weekend Recap: 500m Swim 20k Bike 5k Run
If you had told me one year ago that I would have completed a triathlon, I probably would have thrown a drink in your face and gone back to the fridge to refill my glass of Kim. But this weekend, in Sydenham Ontario, I crossed the finished line of the Sprint Triathlon at 1:45 :42s. [...]
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 [...]
