It really takes so little to make me happy. Really and truly. Impromptu tickle fests with my sleepy-eyed kids on my giant king-size bed, a quiet moment with my husband, singing with my friends… little things. I don’t need extravagant gifts, flowers, accolades or awards. I don’t need people pounding me on the back for doing what [...] …telling it like it is. Is that a good thing, I wonder? My family and friends certainly know where they stand with me, but sometimes I think maybe I’m too much of an open book. Is a little mystery a good thing? “Familiarity breeds contempt” crosses my mind. I’m pretty sure those closest to me don’t need [...] Knarf is always going on about how great the hiking is along the trails he and Zack frequent. I’ve tried to make time to go with him, but it has just never panned out for whatever reason. Yesterday, I finally got all my ducks in a row, and bullied no, coerced managed to get the Hubby [...] This third installment of the “Interview With…” series is all about three of the most important people in my life; ShaMoo, J-B, and Knarf. Together, the four of us make up the group Main Street. L-R: Jenn (me), Knarf (Frank), J-B (John), and ShaMoo. Photography by Leah Kirin I’ve known these characters for about 5 years now, give [...] A few weeks ago, Jenn asked me to do this particular guest post as she had spent the day babysitting Little Bit while Frank #2 was having surgery. Just a disclaimer folks… this post is a bit of a downer. I tried to jazz it up, but it hits a little too close to [...] Yesterday I shared a song that we recorded at our first Studio session last week. I have to tell you, that night was one of the best ever. Definitely an item that we could all cross off of our collective bucket list! ShaMoo, Knarf, John-Boy and I sang our hearts out and had a wonderful time. [...] I’ve been asked a lot recently about who the folks I talk about on my blog actually are. I’m sure some of you wonder what the heck I’m up to sometimes, too. It can get a bit tedious (for you as well as me) to explain relationships every time I mention someone, so to that end, [...] Yesterday was a long, long day. Wee One and I arrived at ShaMoo’s for babysitting duty in the early AM, because her youngest son was due at Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital for a serious procedure that morning, and I offered to stay with Princess Little Bit. I won’t go in to the whole thing – [...] Recently I organized a fundraiser for our larger choral group, which took place last night. That I didn’t have a camera on me will forever have me mentally kicking myself!! I haven’t put together too many fundraisers before, all by my lonesome. Ok, I confess; this was the first one. The opportunity just hadn’t presented itself [...] This is what it’s doing here today… *sigh*… but wait! My back yard… and my group! This is a rehearsal recording (meaning I stuck a cheap recorder in front of one speaker while we were rehearsing) of ShaMoo, myself, and 2 of our closest friends singing “Let it Snow”. Our first major concert as a quartet is [...] Okay, I admit it: I’m a foodie. I know this doesn’t come as a shock to Jenn or DoodleCakes but for those of you who don’t know me, I can be motivated to do almost anything if the right food is involved (and God only knows what I’d do for one of DoodleCakes’ creations…) [...] Last week we missed Mosaic Monday terribly! I hadn’t known it was on hiatus, so I posted anyway. I’m re-posting that mosaic this week, AND adding one. I would like to introduce the new websites of two people who are very dear to me! Please join me in welcoming: Doodle Cakes: Doodle-Cakes.com!
Photography: © doodle-cakes.com AND… [...] I’ve decided that ShaMoo needs some air time too, so from now on my partner in crime, sister in song, cohort in chaos will be Guest Posting every so often for your reading pleasure. Give her a warm welcome, folks! J So, have you ever had one of “those” days?? You know the type I mean; that horrible [...] |
