Pep Talk
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...

#ME-FUCKING-TOO: A RALLYING CRY.
GawdDAMMIT! I was hoping I didn't have to write about this AGAIN. But here we go....Have I ever told you about the time my all male management team at the large pharmaceutical company I worked for invited me to the hospitality suite at a Business Conference and when I entered the room I was ...

END :: BEGIN
Oh HAI THERE!I am still here. Lately I have been writing all my thoughts....Well, nowhere really.I could say it's been mostly in my head, but my writing coach (@renegademothering) would say NO, that is #NOTWRITING, that is just thinking. So, right now, I suppose I am not a writer, I am a thinker....

We built a #sleeperhouse and it has made all the difference.
In February of 2016, my little family of four was finally on a much needed holiday on the beautiful island of Kaua'i. I had found a super cute condo in Princeville, and we settled in for our week in paradise. The condo is important - I’ll come back to it. ...

I am still here - just a bit broken...
And I needed some new parts. I swear to god, I sound like an old Ford Model-T or something almost as vintage. (I am saying vintage these days because It sounds way more bougie and fun than old.)Last November I had my first knee replacement. It went well, and I got a gold star from my surgeon...

Weekly grocery shopping done in under three minutes!
I remember the days when my babies were actually babies and going to the grocery store by myself for an hour in the evening felt like a bloody vacation! I would stretch the time out and walk every single aisle and just listen to the musak playing in the store and read ingredient lists for funsies...

Happy International Woman's Day! Go forth and GODDESS (or strike)!
I've been scouring the internet all night looking for that one pivotal piece of writing that would sum up what International Women's Day is, why we celebrate it, and why some women are going on strike tomorrow. I can't find anything that is working for me.What I am finding is a lot...
