The Mom Sneak…

I sneak a lot of things since becoming a Mom. Sometimes, I sneak food that I don’t want to share. Okay, it is pretty much always food that I don’t want to share. I do this a lot. Sometimes it is a handful of chips,…

Your Netflix Profile…

Bot came home from school the other day and asked me what I did all day while he was at school. I told him that I worked. He looked at me a little bit stumped. “Why?” I asked. “Well, because whenever I come home and…

Girls Are Not Stupid…

My daughter just had her very first friend sleepover at our house. It was pretty exciting for all of us. I bought all the fixings for mini pizzas, Bot told everyone he knew that his sister was having a friend sleeep over and Whirlwind was…

Are You A Cheater?

I really hate to have to ask you this question but, are you a cheater? I am. I cheated on my husband by watching Scandal ahead of him on Netflix. I fully regret this. We used to watch Fitz and Oliva together. And now, we…

I Dig Being Canadian…

I do not know anyone who loves Canada more than the people who raised me. My parents adore this country. They never forced us to love Canada, it was just our way of life.  CBC Radio was always playing. Family trips were always to museums….

When TV Teaches Your Kids…

You know those moments of parenting desperation where you rack and rack your brain for a way to deal with the problem and then BOOM you pull a piece of golden wisdom out of you back pocket? Side Note: I really wanted to say “ass”,…

LEGO…

Bot is obsessed with LEGO. I wasn’t surprised. He loves to play alone. It is nothing for him to sit in the living room for 2 hours and play alone with his LEGO. He has the ability to sit and entertain himself and drift off…
