I Even Made a Cake, Yo.

February 4, 2011 Conversations With Oliver

I posted something over here for the occasion, but just look at my little dude getting his birthday-groove on… It’s been all smiles and giggles, and presents and surprises. He is SEVEN! And he is loving it. And I am loving him more than I ever thought I could. What an awesome kid I have [...]

She’s Three – photos

January 23, 2011 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

Our littlest one turned THREE the other day, and though I already posted something over here, I wanted to post my very favourite pics from her last year – she’s grown and changed quite since last January, my little darling girl: Wow. Lot of changes since last year, right? Who would have thought her hair [...]

A Few Words about Monograms

January 11, 2011 house stuff

I love monograms. Oh mah lord, I LOVE them. If I was a dude, I would be a more than a bit of a dandy – the sort to monogram my shirt cuffs and wear sparkly cufflinks sometimes… It’s less about ownership, of course – I live here, right? I know what’s mine – but [...]

New Year, New Stuff…

January 9, 2011 house stuff

Wow. I really know how to be neglectful… it’s been a while. We’ve had a family cold, and then Christmas, and then the return of the family cold… yeah, it’s been awesome. And I’ve been writing over here during this time too – sometimes it’s hard to manage both. Whatever. Feel free to have a [...]

Laughing in the Face of Things

November 29, 2010 house stuff

We’re still toiling away on the house projects. Trying hard not to cry some days. Like when we discovered our hardwood floors in the kitchen buckling in places due to a faucet leak we’ve been meaning to take care of. Like over the trim colour that I chose, that I fear is to blue. But [...]

Under Wraps

November 22, 2010 house stuff

It’s been a while since I’ve been here… we’re holed up in only 2 rooms of the house (well, three if you count the bathroom) so besides writing over here I’ve basically been doing my best not to murder the children, who have literally been underfoot lately. Man, they make a lot of noise. Thankfully, [...]

Getting Started

November 4, 2010 house stuff

Well, in the end we hired the apprentice to our Excellent House Painter, who it would appear is far too busy to help us with our place until after Christmas… so enter New House Painter. He aided our first painter on the apartment downstairs, and I think in our own apartment years and years ago, [...]

Two Gifts

October 22, 2010 The (misc.) Adventures of Grumble Girl

We sold the crib and the bookshelves, and in a matter of days, my baby’s nursery was reduced to boxes of books on the floor and lots of dust bunnies in the corners. Watching the crib get loaded into the back of someone else’s truck, with a bag full of freshly laundered bed linens that [...]

Picking Paint. Picking Painters. Picky Business.

October 15, 2010 house stuff

There’s this issue that’s been making my brain hurt for some time now. Ever since we renovated the apartment downstairs earlier this year (ohmygoditsgorgeous) we’ve been gearing up to make about a million a few changes around our place too. It starts with the parts that are necessary (like finding a 6 drawer dresser to [...]
