“Look at life through the windshield … not the rear-view mirror.” – B. Baggett.
Of all our possessions, wisdom alone is immortal. – Isocrates 436 – 338 BC To my daughter I leave this memory. In grade six my best friend was Lesley. She was the school benchmark for all that was clever. And I never begrudged her that, because she was smart, super smart. The smartest girl in […]
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t. – Mary Schmich Fek me Mary! I don’t like where this […]

There are some days where you just feel that you are the icy pole stick that’s been shoved up the arse of a Paddlepop. Chocolate flavour. I don’t want to sound like a huge whinge-bag (because I am really blessed with family, friends, health and incredible good looks >haha< ) but yesterday was the beginning […]

It evoked a memory of my own physical scareducation back in the […]

Tried these delicious little treats at the local farmer’s market today…Cannelle. A baked custard pastry. The internal texture reminded me somewhat of the divine bougatsza my dear Greek friend taught me how to make. And don’t be afraid of the outside looking almost burnt- it’s caramelly crisp chewiness is divine. Here is a link to the […]
finding the right suitcase for camp

This afternoon we trolled through the garage (otherwise known as the repository for everything other than the car) looking for a case suitable for Miss 8’s impending camp. Her first camp. I finally found the one I was looking for, a snazzy-surfy one that her big brother had used on his first camp. I was elated. […]
