Kindergarten Quotables Variety Pack

Posted on 10 February, 2015 by dilovelyadmin

I realize it’s been ages since I talked about the cute stuff my kids say, and it’s not because they don’t say cute things. Okay, sometimes it’s because they don’t say cute things. At five and two years old, respectively, my son and daughter both have a tendency to freak out about seemingly minor incidents,…

100 Happy Days – Day 38: Cozy

Posted on 8 December, 201416 December, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

My Hubbibi has had his machine line at work shut down over Christmas – four weeks of shutdown, in fact. This is financially tricky, of course, but there’s something awesome about being able to leave for work knowing your two-year-old is snuggling with her Daddy and a good book. (Going on a Bear Hunt.) *** [subscribe2] [ad…

Posted on 6 December, 201416 December, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

“See my new smile??” they ask. (And this picture reveals a love for three oranges! Well, clementines. AB was making an orange snowperson with them.) *** [subscribe2] [ad name=”Med Rec”] ***

100 Happy Days – Day 3: Cuties in Costumes

Posted on 3 November, 201416 December, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

Hoping my technical difficulties might take a coffee break, I’m attempting to backpublish a post from… several days ago. (I wouldn’t want you to think that Jian Ghomeshi had completely quashed the possibility of happy days.) Here’s some happy from Day 3, even though they’re pics from October 31st. Because they can make me smile any day…

Please Don’t Wish Me “Happy Turkey Day”

Posted on 11 October, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

Don’t worry: this is not an angry rant or even a grumpy one. A little persnickety, perhaps. It might not even qualify as a rant. I would just like to ask that you wish me Happy Thanksgiving this year, instead of Happy Turkey Day. I know y’all are excited about your turkey. Some of you look forward to…

Autumnal Adventures, Part 1: Picking Apples and Petting Animals

Posted on 9 October, 201416 December, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

It says a lot about autumn’s charisma that I still love it even though it means the end of summer. I adore the open windows, bare feet, long evenings, singing crickets, and picnic-table dinners of summer. But then there are fresh apples, brilliant leaves, woodsmoke, and cozy sweaters, so it all works out. In the…

CN Tower EdgeWalk: Facing your fears, or enjoying adrenaline?

Posted on 20 August, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

We did it! On August 10th, we did the thing we’ve been planning for over a year (since we couldn’t swing the money for our anniversary last year): the EdgeWalk at the CN Tower in Toronto. Yes, it’s pricey. It comes to almost $200 per person with tax. It’s also a pretty cool experience. I…

Remembering What We’re Built To Do

Posted on 5 August, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

When I was 18, a boy at Camp wrote a poem for me. Although I didn’t requite his crush, I still consider his poem one of the most romantic things I’ve ever received, because of its candour. The second line was “She’s just like sunshine through the trees,” and to this day I still feel…

Summer Sequence Initialized: Check.

Posted on 29 June, 201430 June, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

Summer has begun! Favourite Last-Day-of-School Moment: All the Grade 5 boys from the 5/6 class, who were actually getting along for once in their alpha-dog lives, TOTALLY ROCKING OUT to Beyoncé (All The Single Ladies). They danced and they knew the words. Summer: Day 1 and 2 are IN THE BAG, folks. Daddy had to…

DIY Tie-Dye Jamboree! Shirts, shoes, and a jillion tiny socks.

Posted on 24 May, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been attracted to things that are tie-dyed. I love the fluid shapes and patterns and the vibrant colours. Fortunately for me, tie-dyed clothing is one of the 80s trends I like that came back! (Along with some that make me wince a little, such as crimped hair.) I…
