I’ve been helped to understand a significant truth. I’ve noticed the craze of “silly bands” – as a teacher, I can’t avoid them. For those of you who are not between the ages of six and twelve, they’re stretchy bracelets that form different shapes when relaxed, in all different colours. (Like the 2010 version of…

Multiple Steps!… and final Baby Bits?
Yay! Yesterday, our little boy walked! He was having fun practicing standing alone, with both arms in the air (looking like he was about to take off flying), so Sean and I tried walking him between us as we sat across from each other. Suddenly, he can take four or five steps at a time! All…
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…
Requestion #4: What book broke your heart?
What was the first book that broke your heart? I was inspired to ask this question by a friend who wrote on her Facebook status that her son came downstairs sobbing one night, because Charlotte’s Web broke his heart. It’s a very special and sad thing to go through, especially when you’re young, with that…
Reader Discretion Advised
Check out what we saw today while we were out. (We didn’t actually take this picture – the “accessory” we saw was silver.)
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…
Let's indulge in a nostalgic moment
Here’s the challenge: Share a memory you have that links a person and a song in your mind, preferably: way in the past having to do with someone you LIKED, like that For example: Here’s a memory I have of the first boy I ever kissed, at age 13, in the summer of 1991. We…
Eight Months Old – and one day
Dear E, Yesterday, you turned eight months old. You’re such a big, strong baby! Can’t believe we’re here already. You are transitioning out of your evening catnap, as I think I’ve mentioned, and your daytime naps have been shorter this past week. Too much business to get done to waste time sleeping, I guess. But…
Getting Out Of The House, or Why I Love My Phone
Yesterday I had an appointment with a specialist to see about the weird shape my left middle finger has taken on. It meant I was out of the house for a couple hours, which is always rather exciting! My iPhone saved my heinie. My doctor’s administrative assistant had said the specialist was in Kitchener, 135…
