We had a fun dining experience today at Mongo’s Grill in Winnipeg. Basically, you fill a bowl of vegetables, noodles, meat, sauces, seasonings etc. Then you bring it up to the big circular grill where several cooks with long sword-like instruments toss and grill your food and serve it to you with rice or a [...]

Generations
27Dec06I’ve spent a lot of time in the years since I’ve become a mother thinking about generational “issues” that come up in families. How to recognize the mistakes my parents made and not repeat them and how to avoid making too many completely different mistakes by swinging the pendulum in the opposite direction. I read [...]

20Dec06In the spirit of spending too much on Christmas decorations, a few of my neighbours have put up those huge inflatables in their front yards. I have nothing against this but I have to laugh every time I drive past them. One is a Santa riding a polar bear and another is supposed to be [...]
Potrait of a Lady
18Dec06
Last night I was talking to my husband about going to a women’s evening at church. Avery immediately pipes up “Can I come, too, Mommy?” The event is for teens and adult women. I hesitate as I weigh the pros and cons of taking her with me.
“Ummm…..” [...]
Playing the Beer Market
14Dec06I’m not a fan of beer but I think this could make for a fun night at the bar.
A few days ago, before the weather warmed up, I was loading the baby into the car and Avery was waiting for me to put her into her seat. I pull my head out of the car and what do I see? My daughter is LICKING the taillight of our car. Gross. I tried to [...]

Heat for the Holidays!
12Dec06It’s above zero right now! Yessssss!!!! December is so much more fun than November was this year.
Tidbit of experience from my household: Dumping a glass of red wine on your keyboard is ill-advised. It takes a long time to clean up. My husband will be more careful in the future.
How do they know?
10Dec06We were hanging out with friends until late last night. It was awesome. We had fun. But somehow, this monster decided the morning after mom and dad’s late night partying would be a great day to wake up at 5:45am! I’ve aged 5 years in the last 20 [...]

10Dec06Three out of five of the buttons on my nice winter coat fell off in the past week. I’m not entirely sure this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse or something. But other than that, things are good. Kieran managed to cut not just one, but two teeth in the last couple of days. Hopefully [...]
