Writing my way through the joys and challenges of motherhood
Winter seems to last forever. By March, cabin fever has often set in, at least in my household. For those lucky enough to live in Kingston, Ontario, the City of Kingston greenhouse opens its doors to the public. Visiting the greenhouse is a burst of spring during the doldrums of winter. Colours and scents abound, […]
This beautiful painting was done by my artistic friend Keltie Morrow. While technically she’s not a “working mom” the way it’s categorized today, she has recently begun profiting (somewhat) from her passion – art! The beautiful painting above is a gift I gave my parents for Christmas this year. I asked Keltie if she’d be […]
I was lucky enough to spend 3 days as a background actor in a mini series filming here in Kingston. Emma and I attended the casting call in late September for Alias Grace – a 6 episode series being distributed by CBS and Netflix. I think it’s going to be shown on CBC but […]

When I decided to re-craft my blog during my move from Blogger to WordPress I chose some categories that I thought would be the most useful for my mom’s lifestyle blog. When I chose to call one “acting/modelling” I was pretty sure it would be used to follow Emma, my eldest daughter, in her trials […]
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! […]
Mother’s Day weekend is often a busy time, and this year is no exception. Kingston is always bustling with things going on, especially in the warmer season. I am sincerely hoping the warmer season is upon us – we’ve had a lot of cool days recently! May is about when I start getting antsy to get […]
I’m not one to be fashionable or on the cutting edge of styles or anything like that. Most of the time I don’t even know what I want when it comes to clothes or hair styles. My life is comfort first, and then if it looks good, that’s a bonus. I would say that it […]
