Why Peeing with An Audience is A BAD Thing

bite_me_toilet_300

I joke around these parts how much I could get accomplished if I could pee by myself. With the door closed. I swear my children don’t want world peace because I’m never allowed that luxury. And if I am? It’s usually midnight and the cat is scratching at the door.
My children routinely make my whole [...]

5 Years Ago

It was a dark and stormy night… Isn’t that how all great stories start? On January 19th, 2007, Adam and I made our way to the IWK Women’s and Children’s hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was a weird January night. EXTREME rain fall and low pressure system. For most people, that might be enough [...]

Be a Better Shopper

coupons

Try as I might, I am trying to be a little bit more frugal this year. Now if only extreme couponing was a popular sport in Canada. Yes. I think couponing could be a sport. Go easy on me.
A way that I have always shopped is look at various flyers every week, finding [...]

I was perusing MSN this morning and a story flashed across my screen. “18 True Things Moms Don’t Want to Admit” I thought, great! Maybe I could relate to these people! Myself, along with other moms, find it relatively simple to relate to each other, usually. Upon reading the article, I was left shaking my [...]

I am obviously a fan of stating the obvious. Christmas was barely over here and the stores changed their layout for Valentine’s day. It seems like things are getting earlier and earlier! I noticed Christmas items right after Halloween. I wonder if we’ll ever get to the point that we have all seasonal merchandise all [...]

Welcome To Over The Hill

Since turning 30 last year, I’ve noticed some startling changes about my body. I don’t really think 30 is old, but I think my body thinks it is!
I’d like to know what gives with the acne. Frankly, I have more zits now then I did as a teenager. I think that is a cruel, cruel [...]

Asian Pimp?

While I was in the grocery store today, I saw this man…Someone who looks like (or at least to me…) a pimp. Adam and I were having a no good, very bad day, so I decided to let him know what I saw.
(Let me preface this by saying we are not homophobes or racist. The [...]

Blizzards/Hurricanes/Tornadoes! Oh My!

For Christmas. Don’t worry, I won’t be asking you if you are ready for Christmas since I’m likely to break out into hives and convulsions. Not very cheery for the holiday season!
Here in the great white north, over the past few days, Canada has decided to join winter. I wasn’t complaining about the mild temperatures [...]
