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…

Baby Bits XIX
Here are some more Baby Bits, for E’s beloved Papa (my dad, his grandpa – Papa is what we call him and E has now latched onto the term)… because there are always more! I just don’t want to bore you with every little time he says something cute… plus there are too many to…
Baby Bits XVIII – Fourteen Months and One Day
It’s time for some Bits. E has a joke. It involves putting random things on his head and saying “Hat.” Lately he’s getting especially silly and putting multiple “hats” on Mama or Daddy at once. Latest example is an aluminum pie plate AND a plastic octopus… what a stylish combo! His vocabulary is growing at…
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…
Addendum to Hypes
Oops, I meant to include this lovely blog in my Hypes yesterday. Sean found it and sent it to me, and it made me smile on an evening I wasn’t expecting to have any more smiles. Mila’s Daydreams: it’s Anne Geddes meets Art Attack. Try it y’self!
Hypes and Gripes
Here’s something one learns amongst groups of Quakers: sit in a circle and spill your hypes and gripes (i.e. what are you happy and not happy about today?). It’ll do you good. Gripes this week: Being reminded, again, that I am not as nice, patient, competent, reasonable, efficient, or able to handle stress as I…
Baby Bits XVII
Here are more photos from yesterday – I got photo-happy all of a sudden. Here’s E eating carrots in the kitchen. They took a realllly long time (he’s only got eight teeth).
Baby Bits XVI
I probably won’t be doing Baby Bits much longer… once E walks, he’s a toddler, right? Although “Toddler Bits” doesn’t have the same ring. I’ll have to think of something cooler. Anyway… Here are some photos from this week. We had a visit with a friend (L) on Wednesday. Two little blue-eyed blondies sittin’ in…
Dilovely’s Top 10 Pick-Me-Ups
The other day, I was in a funk. I’d had some news from my school board that made me feel frustrated and undervalued, and once I felt like that, every other little thing made me feel worse. E was in a cranky mood and doing his whiny cry for no reason all the time, and…
