16 Things About Pixar’s “Coco”, Mexico, and Death

Posted on 30 November, 20171 December, 2017 by dilovelyadmin

We took the kids to see Coco on the weekend – just as much for us as for them. Here are some notes (avoiding  spoilers, don’t worry). We all loved it. Even with the high expectations I always have going into Disney/Pixar movies these days, they still impress. They are consistently worthy of the big…

The cold never bothered me anyway.

Posted on 16 February, 2016 by dilovelyadmin

It’s that time of year when winter seems long – even though in my area of Ontario, it hasn’t been that tough a winter… I’m still thinking of green leaves with wistfulness. Here’s my three-year-old in her FAVOURITE OUTFIT, showing off her dazzling lack of tuning, made up for by her soul-deep commitment to the role….

One Decade of Marriage

Posted on 6 August, 20156 August, 2015 by dilovelyadmin

Dear Sean, It’s hard to believe that it has been ten whole years since the day we pledged ourselves to each other as husband and wife. A decade sounds long, but feels short these days. On the other hand, ten years is short, in a way, since our story began long before that.   It has been…

A Smiley Video for a Happy Frozen Friday

Posted on 30 January, 2015 by dilovelyadmin

My kids love the movie “Frozen.” Like almost all kids. And I’m not ashamed to say that I also love it; I’ve probably seen it a dozen times and I could still cry every time, if I let myself. I will most likely go on about the reasons why another time. For now, here’s two-year-old AB’s side…

Happy Second Birthday, Rainbow Baby

Posted on 1 October, 201416 December, 2014 by dilovelyadmin

Dear Delicious Little Girl, Two years ago yesterday, you came peacefully into the world, and immediately began howling. It was a day joyous beyond description for the people who love you. Since then, we’ve learned a lot about you. Some things we learned right away: You like to be snuggled – but not every second….

Ukulelove, for the winter blahs.

Posted on 9 March, 20149 January, 2024 by dilovelyadmin

Okay, lovely Di-hards, here it is – the antidote. In all honesty, I love winter. (Mostly.) So if I’m feeling blue, as if this particular winter may never end, I’m sure a lot of you are feeling the same way. Especially if you, like me, are not going anywhere tropical or even remotely warm this…

Four Months Old

Posted on 3 February, 2013 by dilovelyadmin

Dear Baby A, On January 30th, it was four months since the day of your birth. I know it’s the worst cliché ever, but I can’t help it: the days have flown by. I cannot believe we are already here. Life with you and your brother has its exasperating moments. There have been lots of runny…

The Police’s Greatest Hits, covered by a very small amateur

Posted on 18 September, 201218 September, 2012 by dilovelyadmin

Hey there, fellow Di-hards. Auntie Em here. Most of you probably know me, or at least know that I am Di’s sister, live in the basement, and look after E pretty often. During the school year, we spent at least one day a week together while Mummy was at school with the other kids. Sometimes…

Toddler Tracks Video: Snow Picnic + Random Conversation

Posted on 8 February, 2012 by dilovelyadmin

Back when it was snowy (sigh) Auntie Em took a buncha footage of E eating snow. He really likes it. (Sadly, he has not had very many opportunities for this.) For the record, I sampled some – he generously offered it to me – and it tasted comfortingly the same as it always did when…

Toddler Tracks: Folk Tales

Posted on 23 January, 201225 January, 2012 by dilovelyadmin

Sorry for the six-day postless void, dear readers. I’ll blame report cards. (Speaking of dear readers… all the cool blogs replace the word “readers” with something funkier. I’m thinking we must also be cool. What should we be?? Send me your suggestions, please!) E has some new words. One of the special ones he’s learned…
