Last week, I had the pleasure of heading to Dearborn, MI to check out some of the new trends that Ford is putting in them there motorcars. (I also got to drag race an F150, but that’s another story altogether). As a Mom, my interests in cars have naturally changed. No more are things like [...]

This morning I woke up to my 5 year old screaming at me about how much she does not want to go to school. Not because anything bad is going on, or that she hates her teacher, or cannot stand her friends. She was screaming at me that she doesn’t want to go to school [...]

Baby Get Your Glee On!

I’m tempted to say that this kid is the cutest kid ever caught on video, but given that I have a special bias about this kid and also this kid (groovin’ to Katy Perry, y’all), I’m going to have to resist that temptation. Still. This little guy’s a contender, for sure.

Beyonce’s Girls Rule (The World) Vs. Nineteen Percent Vlogger

By on June 17, 2011 6 Comments

In case you  missed it: Girls Rule (The World). Beyonce says so. Of all the reasons I hate this song, the use of parentheses may just put me over the edge, I consider the use of a good parentheses sacrosanct. But I digress. From what I understand of Beyonce’s video, girls rule the world because [...]

Remember when I told you guys that I had chatted with the Swiss Naturals team and that I was really excited about trying Glucosamine to battle my aching knees? And that as I trained for the 10K race I ran in this June, I found that it was working – that my knees (and hip) [...]

Did you know that as soon as that scalpel cut in to my abdomen to birth my daughter two years ago, her IQ dropped a total of 46 points? It’s true. She was also going to be born with a natural talent for the piano and a deft hand at sculpting, rivaling that of Michelangelo [...]

Yes, sometimes, I use the fact that my kid loves to play by herself to my advantage. I stuff her in front of her work table, her toy farm, her coloring books, her beach toys in the back yard, her whatever, and let her go to town while I just get shit done. I write, [...]

daycare caterer accused of providing poor quality food to children

A story broke this week about a Toronto Daycare Caterer who allegedly lied about food sources, preparation standards, and generally pretty much everything involving the food she provided to 75 different childcare facilities around the Greater Toronto Area. After my initial horror from reading the story, I immediately called my child’s daycare — who provide [...]

Kids Ruin Everything. Even The Furry Ones.

Imagine, if you will, discussing matters of philosophy, whether God loves an object because it is holy or whether the object is holy because God loves it. And then, imagine your cat videobombing you. “What’s this, Dad? Dad, what’s this? What’s in there? Huh? Dad? Mrow? The question really is, is the cat holy? Or [...]

If you thought you had to take your kids to political rallies and demonstrations to turn them into good socialists, you’re dead wrong. All you have to do is park them in front of the television. “I like Jack Layton,” he said pointing at the big orange signs we passed on the way to school [...]

I take a lot of photos of my kids. A lot of photos of my kids. More than I know what to do with. More than I can fit on my blog or in a Twitter stream or on my Facebook page or even in a good old fashioned hold-in-your-hands photo album. My life is, [...]

So, last week I packed up the family and we went to Orlando, Florida, where we did NOT go to Disney World (that was last month), but instead went to Universal Orlando Resort, which, truth be told, is not a place that I would have ever really thought of going, except for maybe to go [...]

Next time I need someone to exhaust my kid — because you know, I’m already exhausted and my child falls into the category know as ‘never tired’ — I am hiring an otter to do the job. Why an otter you ask? Well the proof is in this video: Look at him go! You can [...]

Bad Moms And Bad Computers Get Up To No Good

My computer gets up to no good sometimes. I can’t really stop it or control it; it’s like she (of course she’s a she) has a mind of her own and there are just some days and evenings and mornings and afternoons when she demands – demands – that we not work and before you [...]

  Regular readers of my personal site know that I try to eat well and exercise about five times a week (sometimes, six). Heck, I even have a category called Fitness and Health. I’m currently in week five of a six-week diet and exercise program and on top of going to Boot Camp twice a [...]
