Writing my way through the joys and challenges of motherhood
I am a dance mom. (Or we are dance parents – whatever phrase works for you.) Both my daughters take dance classes in various styles, and we are at the studio four nights a week. (I even take dance classes – it’s a great form of exercise, and so fun! I’m taking ballet class and […]
My oldest daughter, Emma, is about to turn 10. 10! I am always looking for gift ideas that she’ll actually use. We don’t need more toys, no one buys movies or music anymore, and her clothes are already busting out of her dresser and closet. Emma has been dancing since she was 3, and there […]

I am pushing 40. Strangely, every year I think I am healthier than the year before. I don’t really notice this, though, until I take the time to look back. *This post contains affiliate links. When you make a purchase through my link I will earn a small commission at no cost to […]
Jill is a lovely lady I know in real life. I met her through the dance school where our girls (and some of us moms) all spend many hours a week. Just recently I’ve become aware of the work she is doing with the Food Freedom/Body Love Method. She is trying hard to bring awareness […]
Every June we have a week from hell. It culminates in a beautiful pair of dance performances from our daughters, but it’s the longest week of the year. Our dance school, Kingston School of Dance, puts on an amazing end-of-year dance performance each year. It’s even performed at the Grand Theatre – and the kids […]
I’m still taking ballet classes – and they’re still kicking my butt. But I’m loving every minute of my ballet experience! Now that I’ve been dancing at Kingston School of Dance for more than a year, I finally feel like I’m figuring some of this ballet stuff out. Now it finally feels more like a […]
Somehow I forget that every June is busy. The school year is coming to an end, extra-curriculars are wrapping up, and this year, with Rose being 5 now (!), in school and in a dance class that performs in the performance on the “big stage” it’s even busier than last year! Over the past few […]
Every June Kingston School Of Dance puts on an annual performance. At least one of my daughters has been in this show since 2012. On June 18th Kingston School Of Dance is having their Annual Performance at the Grand Theatre. Tickets are already on sale – I hear the afternoon performance is already half sold! […]
I am taking an adult ballet class at Kingston School of Dance in the Tett Centre. I’ve been dancing there since late last year, and I’ve been going every Monday for about 6 months. Of course there have been a few weeks where there was no class (Christmas, Easter, holiday Mondays etc.) but I’ve been […]
