It’s December! I wasn’t planning to blog today. I was all like, whew. November’s over. Then when I got home, E was out gallivanting downtown with Auntie Em, so I went to pay the bills. Then I felt rather stressed, so I thought a blog post might do me some good. Just a little one….

It’s November 29th and pouring outside. Time to LMAO and ROFL.
Yessir, it’s a gloomy, soaking day here. The students were inside for TWO recesses in a row, which never makes for an easy day. It’s still a long way to Christmas – in fact, it’s still a long way to the weekend. And as is so often the case, my shoulder muscles are like a…
What’s your car’s name?
Our family car does not have a name. However, all of E’s cars have names. I don’t even remember where all of them came from; some he had help with. That’s LaFasta (it says LAFASTA on the side), Georgian (he made that one up), Racecar, Tanker Truck (some are highly original), Flattop, Mario Car, Rescue…
Click, Clack, Moo – Cows That Type
Here’s a taste of story time with Auntie Em and the whiz kid. (Sort of. Usually story time occurs in the rocking chair, without quite so much playing with random objects… but hey, he does okay.) The story is “Click, Clack, Moo”, by Doreen Cronin, illustrated by Betsy Lewin. It’s a cool, silly little story…
What a cool planet.
Here is one thing I love about this time of year, one aspect of November that never fails to uplift me when I catch sight of it: the dizzying, humbling spectacle of hundreds of birds flying in synchrony. It tops my list of “Things I Would Miss About Planet Earth If I Were Abducted By…
BANG Movie Review: Footloose (the remake) Meets Reality
It’s a classic: twinkle-toes city boy arrives in small town USA where the kids aren’t allowed to dance, and makes it his mission to get the bylaw changed – and win the heart of the preacher’s daughter. When we first saw the trailer for the new Footloose movie, Sean asked, “Why do they need to…
The Fall Fair: it’s WAY better with a kid
On Thanksgiving weekend, we took E to his first Fall Fair. I remember how much I loved the fair as a kid – but I’d forgotten. It wasn’t until I brought my toddler that I re-realized how FANTABULOUS it really is. In fact, it spoiled this kid for normal life. The morning after, he first…
The Toddler-Wizard Gag Reel
As promised… the Tiny Potter outtakes! The secret is revealed: his focus – and his discipline – are not as perfect as they look in the edited version. *** [subscribe2] SaveSave
My kid is going to Hogwarts for sure.
I know you guys have read a lot of sad posts lately, for which I’m eternally grateful. But how about a smiley post for a change? If this one doesn’t make you smile, I’ll eat a Bowtruckle. I’ve been thinking about this wee project ever since the spring, when we were on a hike with…
Rebecca Black’s Friday and Other YouTube Sensations
It was a couple months ago that I was first introduced to the video of this special, special new song that has taken YouTube by storm. My husband preambled it by telling me it was basically the worst song ever. I’ll admit I was skeptical. Could this really be worse than Kylie Minogue’s “I Just…
