Birthdays

  • Our Home is a Funhouse and We Like It

    Even though summer is here, there is a strange feeling that we are still in the month of March, only with nicer weather. This Groundhog Day life we’re living is enough to make anyone stir crazy. I am not complaining, we have it good. We have our health and we…

  • Henna: Montreal Artist Explains This Art and Why You Should Try It

    What is a henna session, and why should you have one? I spoke with Sinthusha Kandiah of Divinart Foundation, to help explain this beautiful tradition. My hope is that you learn something new and consider getting a session for yourself as a peaceful gift to yourself and perhaps celebrate a…

  • A Visit to Omega Park

    Just before the summer break, I worked with Outaouais Tourism to give the boys the ultimate birthday surprise. It involved arranging with their teachers to secretly get them out of school and organizing for any missed work. After the teachers assured me all was good, I concocted a story to…

    I am officially 40 years old. I was born in the morning, on a Monday, in Lachine, Quebec. In forty years, I have discovered a lot about myself and the world around me. It’s been a heck of a ride so far and I am heading into this next decade…

  • Top Birthday Gift Cards for Kids

    I’m not opposed to gift cards for birthday gifts, because sometimes, you just don’t know what a little person likes or doesn’t like these last few months. Their styles and interests can change often, so gift cards can make them happy to go out and find something with Mom and…

  • How To Use An EpiPen

    A little while ago, I took a First Aid course in my sister’s home with Red Cross instructor, Nancy Reynolds of Baby Secure. Although there was a part of me that thought I didn’t really need this day of intense First Aid knowledge, I decided to go and I am so happy…

  • Mama’s Birthday

    Today is a special day for me.

    It’s also a special day for my mama, and my kids and the people who are close to me.
    Today I celebrate my mama.
    Grandma MOE was in the hospital 36 years ago today giving birth to her first child.
    I can’t be sure of the feelings she had then, but I can imagine them clearer now that I am a mama.
    I celebrate her for having the love and strength and courage to bring me into this world.

  • Writing To Your Children

    You have probably heard it a million times as a mama, but sometimes it gets away from you. Especially if you have more than one child, it’s hard to always “write it down.” all the funny anecdotes, all the milestones. I have heard it before, how a mama almost finished the baby book for the first child, then maybe got halfway through for the second, and the third was lucky to even get a book, let alone anything in it.

  • Making Memories {Giveaway!}

    Have you seen the beautiful black and white picture in my blog title? Of course you have!

Photographer extraordinaire, Valerie Pyke, is responsible for that great shot. She has been making house calls at our place ever since my twins were born.

March in Quebec, Canada. Do I look happy about it? March in Quebec, Canada. Do I look happy about it? My son has his ski goggles on so he can sled and not ruin his eyes! My friends in warmer areas across the globe, I will continue to enjoy your sun-shinning posts and wish for spring here! #ohCanada #fakesmile #getoutside
We managed to get a project done for our boys. We We managed to get a project done for our boys. We got posters from their favourite movies! We placed them in poster frames in the basement for their ultra cool hangout. These simple projects can take a while (got the posters for them for Christmas) but they are so amazing when they are done. What movie poster would you put up? #mrsdoubtfire #harrypotter #ferrisbuellersdayoff #familymovienight
It's March. I mean, how? Haven't we been in March It's March. I mean, how? Haven't we been in March all year? 
My son took to painting and made this sweet little decoration for #stpatricksday out of a yogurt container. Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day? With kids, it's fun to find any reason to celebrate. But I'm 1/2 Irish so this is a special day for us. To see a few ideas for little ones, feel free to check my celebrating section #ontheblog ☘
Pizza in all its homemade glory. If you had told m Pizza in all its homemade glory. If you had told me a year ago I would be making fresh pizza dough at home every weekend, I would have laughed. While I may have made pizza before, I can say now I've perfected it. Pizza for five, right on the cookie sheets like my nonna used to do. What is one thing you are cooking / baking now that you didn't before?
PS @montreal_mom 's dough recipe is pretty awesome.
Hey guys! I got a haircut! By ME. Yep, it's not pe Hey guys! I got a haircut! By ME.
Yep, it's not perfect. I don't have that awesome shiny finish the stylist puts on my hair to give it extra oomph but it'll do. I know we all have different versions of what we can handle. Truth is, I can't handle much else besides my boys being in school (I can hardly handle that). I still sanitize my groceries. I still keep my coat in the garage to air out. I have a system for things coming into the home. Do you judge me for it? Today is #pinkshirtday in schools. It is supposed to emphasize to children to be nice and end bullying. But guess what? If they see parents bullying - online and offline, this day won't really mean much to them. 
So parents, let's #bekind to each other. We are all doing what we can to stay safe & stay sane. Respect others, our kids are watching.
Pretty sure this needs to be on a pet magazine cov Pretty sure this needs to be on a pet magazine cover or something. Does @natgeo cover pets? I mean, he looks like a superhero up there!
Even with all this snow, the sun is shinning longer each day and it's giving me good feelings in my soul. Do you feel it too?
