This blog posting is loooooong overdue. Remember way back in 2010 when I went to Ontario for Christmas? Well, one of the many, many awesome things that I did that I totally meant to blog about but then didn’t blog about because I was having way too much fun doing awesome things to be blogging […]
Thirty-four years ago today, in the town where my parents lived ((and still live, actually)), there was a blizzard. And my then-very pregnant mother said to my father, “Jack, you better shovel the driveway, in case the baby comes early.” And so my father shovelled that driveway, in a blizzard, just to be sure that […]
My sister made this for me for Christmas: It’s perfect for eating your pasta on!
So remember last year how I cyber-baked with my family over the intertubes? Not this year! This year I got to do my baking in person! Baking, and especially Christmas baking, is one of my fondest memories from childhood. Every year at Christmas time, my Aunt Wendy would come over to our house and bake […]
I cannot believe that 18 days have gone by since I left Vancouver for the holidays. In some ways, it seems like I just got to Toronto and now I’m heading back. But then I think about all the things that I did and can’t believe I haven’t been here for six months. As I’m […]
Since I live so far away and rarely get back to Ontario to visit the fam, when I do get to visit, I’m a rock star as far as my six-year-old niece is concerned. She insists on sitting next to me at every meal, she insists that I sleep with her every night and she follows me […]
I wrote this on my iPhone on the subway many, many days ago and then haven’t published it because I’ve been having way too much fun for such things as publishing blog postings. But now it’s Boxing Day and we are all so full from three days of non-stop eating that we can’t do anything […]
It’s Christmas Eve and my wee niece is trying to go to sleep, but how is a six-year-old supposed to sleep when SANTA IS COMING?? My sister and my dad are both upstairs with her right now, ostensibly trying to get her to go to sleep, but putting two Snows in a room with a […]
My sister is having a baby! w00t! I’ve been waiting to blog it until she and her bf had a chance to tell everyone they wanted to tell, but I’ve been *dying* to blog it since I found out because – I get to be an aunt again! Um, other than that, there’s not much […]
I can’t believe my niece turns six today!! Such a big girl! I haven’t seen her since our trip to the Dominican in January, which seems like *ages* ago. Happily, I’ll be spending my Christmas holidays with my family in Ontario this year, so I’ll get to see her really soon! I can’t wait! In […]
