Sorry for my silence the last few days… dearie me, where does the time go? Just wanted to pop in and say, Happy Special Weekend! Whether you’re …celebrating the resurrection of Jesus …recovering from Passover dinner …hunting for coloured eggs …doing colouring contests (they still have those, right?) …partying in honour of Hans Christian Andersen’s…

Baby Bits XIV
I fear I have created a monster. We’ve only been giving E Cheerios for a few weeks, but already he gets all antsy and whiny if he hasn’t had a hit in a while. You give him some and he just wants more. He now recognizes the Oscar the Grouch container we’ve been keeping them…
A Little Sympathy for Ann Coulter
Poor Ann Coulter. Upon her recent visit to Canada, not everyone was polite to her. The more I’ve pondered her situation, the more I’m sure that some terrible things happened in her childhood. Before last week, all I knew about this woman was that she was an American right-winger with a tendency to say and…
BANG Book Review – A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore
Our latest GGG book club pick, A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore, was pretty much a unanimous “not recommended”. Overall, the gals were disappointed. Before getting into that, I will say that although I didn’t love the book, I did enjoy it. I did not find it boring or hard to get through,…
Top News Stories
1. No more stitches for Dilovely! My finger is far more comfortable (and less scary) without them. Though, if I’m honest with myself, the scar is looking more serpentine than lightning-boltish (uh-oh… that’s not the symbol we were looking for)… but whatever. I’ll reserve judgment until it’s healed. 2. E’s new favourite thing: APPLES. You…
Baby Bits – Lucky XIII
Today, after E awoke from his afternoon nap, we were having some quiet time in the rocking chair. (Well, secretly Mommy was hoping he might go back to sleep, but no dice.) Then he leaned forward and declared, clear as anything, “My umbrella.” I figure he was referring to the way his naps are like…
BAM Baby Stuff Reviews – Nursing
Here’s the nursing gear that works for us (and some that doesn’t), in case you’d like to know: “My Brest Friend” nursing pillow. It is firm, sculpted foam, flat on top but for two bumps for baby’s head, with a removable slip-cover, and an adjustable clip for your waist. We LOVE it. (Even Daddy uses…
Woo hoo!
Yes!! I STAVED IT OFF, folks. I’m officially gonna bite the bullet and say I am awesome, and have the super-wicked immune system of Wonder Woman. (Whose first name, it must not be forgotten, was also Dilovely.) I kick norovirus keester! (Kiester?) Things are pretty much back to normal here, thank goodness. Let’s celebrate with…
Ominous Waiting
It’s like having a tornado heading your way. It looks bad – it’s touching down and hitting other folks – doesn’t stay long but wreaks havoc – it could hit me any time and it wouldn’t be pretty! – or it might just blow over. Every person in my house but me (that’s only three,…
Yay for Lactation!
I took E to the doctor’s office today, just to be on the safe side, since he’s apparently not “over” whatever this is. The nurse practitioner, who was great, was very reassuring without belittling the new-parent worries. It was true, as she pointed out, he didn’t look very sick. (He’d just been flirting outrageously with…
