We arrived home from Family Camp about 25 hours ago. E was such an incredibly good boy all day yesterday (in spite of having decided he’s definitely two years old all of a sudden – also in spite of pouring rain, being stuck in the backpack while Mommy swept floors, not being able to go…
Category: Raves – Why I Love
When I love something, I want you to know.
Just a few reasons I love my hubby
I know I missed Valentine’s Day blogging this year, but I figure any day is a good day to write a tribute to someone you love. This one is about my Hubbibi. He is: snuggly warm and generous (to the extent that he always lets me warm my cold feet on him in bed –…
Kids Are Great
Perhaps it’s time to talk about some kids other than mine. So, a week late… let’s talk about the school play, “A Night at the Wax Museum”. It was worth writing about, although the words will never do it justice. It was a cute play, created by my colleague Mr. A and his actors, about…
BANG Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I
Today I went with Skye and Skye’s friend to see HP7i at the VIP cinema in Oakville. I’d like to say we got into the VIP place (which is age 19+, has big crazy chairs, alcoholic drinks, and reserved seating) on the sheer awesomeness of our persons, but actually entry is achieved by the purchase…
Dilovely’s Harry Potter Geek-Out, including “Harry, A History”
SPOILER ALERT: I may discuss Potter plot. If you have been meaning to read Harry Potter – any of it – and still haven’t gotten around to it… what’s wrong with you? Go read it. Just close this window and go. Shoo! For the rest of you… here we go. It’s a doozy. Ahem. We…
BANG Book Review – Three Cups of Tea
The GGG’s latest book, discussed yesterday over frozen drinks on the patio (which, now that I think about it, is a bit ironic), was Three Cups of Tea, by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin. It says Greg Mortenson’s name first on the cover, but it seemed to me that David Oliver Relin was more…
BANG Movie Review – Toy Story 3D
A friend of mine recently told me I would need some more movie reviews for folks like her on my blog, since she is a hardened movie addict. I meant to write a review of Toy Story 3 a few weeks ago, when I actually saw it, but then I ran out of time before…
Family Camp 2010 at NeeKauNis – Some Favourite Moments
Well, I truly did try on Day One of Family Camp to send out a photo, and couldn’t figure it out from my iPhone. There’s probably a way, but at the time I was cooking for 35 people and single-parenting (lots of help on both counts, but still) so I didn’t pursue it. There are…
Why I Love Emily Giffin
Emily Giffin is the author of The Heart of the Matter, Love the One You’re With, Baby Proof, Something Borrowed, and Something Blue. Her novels aren’t considered great literature – it’s what you would call “chick lit”, but I own all five of them and find them not only readable, but re-readable. Why I love…
Highlights of a Weekend at Camp
I was clerking spring Committee Meeting at Camp NeeKauNis this weekend, and other than lack of sleep on Friday night (I never sleep well my first night in a strange bed), it was full of those moments I relish: Getting hugs from people I love and don’t see often enough; Business meeting going so smoothly…
