New Year Questionnaire – Looking back at 2024

Posted on 22 February, 2025 by dilovelyadmin

It’s a new year! Actually not that new. Mid-to-late February, for Pete’s sake. This post takes forever, especially now that I consult my family for authenticity. But linear time be damned! (It’s all a construct anyway.) I wonder if there’s a formula for calculating how fast time flies for a person in any given year….

New Year’s Questionnaire for 2020: The Year The World Stood Still

Posted on 27 January, 20218 February, 2021 by dilovelyadmin

It’s always fun to post a piece so late that it’s basically irrelevant… Sigh. (And this piece would still be waiting to be finished if it weren’t for the long dentist appointment the kids and I had last week that gave me an hour in which I couldn’t work on report cards.) At least I…

Winter Wonderland Snowfall – Gratitude Day 22

Posted on 22 November, 2020 by dilovelyadmin

Today, I am grateful for the beautiful snow we’re having. Isn’t it great how snow lightens up the world right when you need it most? Just like how shade also offers itself right when you need it. Normally, we don’t really get into the Christmas stuff – music and decorating etc. – until December. The…

My Husband – Gratitude Day 12

Posted on 12 November, 2020 by dilovelyadmin

Tonight I’m feeling grateful for my husband, Sean. He’s an awesome teammate in all these life shenanigans. To be honest, I feel grateful for him basically all the time. I’ve told you before that I’m morbid and I frequently imagine what life would be like if one of my children died – or both –…

The Dilovely New Year Questionnaire for 2019

Posted on 15 January, 2020 by dilovelyadmin

Hi, lovelies! Here’s the new year questionnaire, perfect to update you on ALL THE THINGS that did not get blogged about in 2019 due to hosting issues. (And neglect.) Henceforth, however, I reserve the right to back-post things I worked on while my account was suspended. Stay tuned! You NEVER KNOW when something will pop…

Why I’m Excited About Canada’s New Food Guide

Posted on 23 January, 201924 January, 2019 by dilovelyadmin

Yesterday, Canada’s new official Food Guide was released, and I am stoked about it! For the first time EVER in this country, the Food Guide has not been influenced by agricultural promotion. Instead, it has been influenced by SCIENCE. As it should have been all along. Way to shake off the fetters of commercial enterprise,…

The Dilovely New Year Questionnaire for 2017

Posted on 8 January, 20189 January, 2018 by dilovelyadmin

Hi, Lovelies! And HAPPY NEW YEAR. Farewell, 2017. Off to a cold, cold start in which I have not gotten enough fresh air because I did’t want my skin to fall off… But as of Saturday night, thanks to some quality time spent with my sis and a friend and many little jars and baggies, my spice…

Coaching Your Kid To Stand Up To Bullies

Posted on 25 February, 2016 by dilovelyadmin

My son is in Grade 1, and he has this one particular classmate who worried me from the first day. I was told, by a friend of mine whose son was in his kindergarten class, that he was “the cool kid.” It was obviously true. Short but sporty, tough little chin, primary-school mohawk haircut. Clearly comfortable…

Barely Managing + Constant Guilt = Modern Parenting??

Posted on 19 February, 201617 November, 2016 by dilovelyadmin

When you’re a parent, discussing parenting is what you do: the easiest way to find out what you have in common – and also to gauge how you’re doing at the parenting gig, and whether you/your kids are normal. I can’t help but notice a trend among the parents I talk to with young kids – one that…

#NaBloPoMo, Day 5: My Hubbibi

Posted on 5 November, 2015 by dilovelyadmin

Whew. Just weathered a Mammoth Meltdown (one of many in the last three years, but this was definitely in the top ten), courtesy of my three-year-old. The better part of an hour of screaming/crying, along with intermittent hitting/kicking. All this – at least initially – because I wouldn’t let her put the cap back on her toothpaste….
