What if one day you did all the things you keep putting off "until the time is right"? What if you stopped making excuses about all the stuff that you keep insisting is more important than doing what would really make your heart sing?What do you have to lose? No, really. What do you think wi...

BE PATHETIC, BE, BE PATHETIC!
Who came up with this whole "find your authentic self" crap? I mean really. How is it that so many people spend so much of their lives trying to "find themselves"? Is the world just one big department store and we are all toddlers wandering off and, at some point, we have to send out an...

Draft Post written in March, 2013Yesterday, I swept my floors twice, I cleaned four out of five of the bathrooms in our house (Why do we have so many damn toilets??), I made three square meals for my family, I wiped little bums, tucked in sleepy children and did two loads of laundry. If you threw...

#requiredreading: I'm Just Happy to Be Here by Janelle Hanchett
Ok, so here I am, writing another book review. Except I am probably really bad at this. Because all I really want to do is quote you all the things I highlighted in the book. I want to read you the parts that made me cry, the lines that made me laugh out loud, and especially the ones that I ...

Friday Faves: In no particular order.
I'd like to get back to sharing my favourite people, places and things with you again. This practice is yet another on the list of writing related things that bring me joy and I'm all about getting and giving joy where and when I can. Especially when our current world can seem like a giant mounta...

Required Reading: So you want to talk about Race, By Ijeoma Oluo
It's hard to write a review of a book that you wish never had to be written. (What's even harder is WRITING said book.)But here we are, it's 2017, North American politics is a cess pool of alt-right, fake news, white supremacist bullshit, and there are people who either believe that racism d...

Discombobulated
When people ask me what I do lately, I have a hard time answering them. My friend Marissa is always on me about how much she eschews labels and categorizing ourselves and I have always chided her about this and embraced the labels that I thought defined me: stay-at-home mother, feminist...

a final goodbye
In two days, the new owners will take possession of the #naturalurbanhome. They will move in, change things around, add their own style and signature and smell to the place, and make it their home. As I sit here in the COLD waiting area at my kid's dance studio writing this, I am s...
