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…
Thirteen Months Old – 1 year + 1 month (and 1 day)
I know you all can count. I’m just making the transition between referring to my child’s age in months and in years. I always smile to myself when parents refer to their kids’ ages in months when they’re multiple years old – since your average person doesn’t think in those terms. I figure it still…
Just for shivers…
I had something else I was planning to write about today, but then there’s this. (Sean found it, being the primary internet troller of the household.) It’s simply too bloggable to wait, especially on the heels of that last video. a) Doubt? Inhibitions? Ignorance??? Chemicals fix those!!!!!!! Why didn’t we think of this before?? Women…
Just for shiggles…
Here’s a little something I love. Folks… it’s the Drive-In Intermission! I can’t explain why I love it, since it’s quite awful… but I do. From the creepy happy “Yum yum” faces, to the attempts to make fast food sound nourishing, to the censorious “love bug” comment (you’d think this warning is really too late…
School Snippet #1
There is far too much to think about right now, so I’m going to leave it all responsibly for another time. For now, I’d like to indulge in one li’l thought I had last week whilst teaching (French) questions e.g., “Quel est ton film préféré?” I observed and surmised that Grade Four is a very…
