Mama Moe

Where is your spark?
Does it come from reading a classic novel? Does it come from seeing a new movie or a unique piece of art? Does it come from an act of kindness that you see in your passing day? What is it that sets something off deep down inside you and makes your eyes widen with excitement?

If you are a regular reader of Ask Mama MOE, you know how much I just love Valerie Pyke. She is a fantastic Montreal photographer and she has been taking pictures of my children for a while now.

The month of May is here, mamas! You know what that means? Mother’s Day is coming up fast! The great people at PTPA surveyed mamas and put this amazing infographic together. I just love it!

Generally, my nights are filled with teeth brushing, story time, cuddles and prayers. Well the other night, I was able to go out, all decked up for a media event for the grand opening of P.F. Chang’s China Bistro in Montreal. I was honoured and thrilled to participate in such a special night!

Already another Friday has zoomed by! Time is flying right now, and I am one busy mama! Trying to coordinate my charity event, work on my blog and take care of my family is a lot to do in any given week. But I’m up for the challenge! Mostly because I know how fantastic #SFTH13 is going to be…
Now, back to ABC Friday…have you been following these fun photos? I can’t believe we’re already at the letter O!

Have you ever tried this parlor trick? I found it, as I find a lot of cool things, on Pinterest. My kids were fascinated with it! The natural candle is made from the skin of a Clementine orange with the center skin inside. All you have to do is add some olive oil inside and then once you light the skin, it will burn until the olive oil runs out.

When I found out Oprah was coming to Montreal, I have to admit I had a tinge of excitement. I say tinge because as much as I would like to see Oprah, the sheer volume of others who would want to see her too kind of cancelled me out. Not because I don’t think I am good enough or worthy enough, just because I wasn’t going to wait in line or online for tickets, and I didn’t have a great big budget to get tickets (good tickets started close to $300).

For those of you who read my blog regularly, you may remember my posts on the Ultimate Blog Party over the past three years. This online blogging event essentially catapulted my desire to really excel in blogging and create my charity event which is now in its third year.

KLM? No, I am not promoting the airline with this post (although, that would be nice!).

I am participating in a photo sharing meme by Maple Leaf Mommy and Mom Vs TheBoys. Each week, we have been sharing one letter of the alphabet at a time, starting with A, of course.

It’s been some time since I have written something here at Ask Mama MOE. It is absolutely not for lack of subject matter, great news updates and really interesting reviews and giveaways. These are all things that are waiting for my attention, and will be so exciting to share with you, my readers.
