So apparently here it is totally kosher to put your junk out on the curb well before garbage day. Not usually the actual garbage bins, but an old armchair, a TV from three decades ago, random household crap - it’s all good! And apparently the Garbage Collector People actually take it away! In SK you’d [...]

Regrets
29Jun07Do you ever wish you could go back to a time in your past and do it over? Make different choices, respond to a situation differently, shake your younger self violently until you smartened up? I try not to live in the past but I am ALWAYS going over conversations I had in the recent [...]
Two very important, lifesaving devices at my house have been on the fritz in the last couple days. And because I love you all I will share the tale!Yesterday was the hottest day in London since we’ve been here. It was a sweltering 35 degrees with that nasty, suffocating humidity and not a breeze to [...]
Sibling Love
27Jun07In the last Kieran has gone from barely being able to take a step on his own to full blown walking. It’s amazing how a light bulb seems to go on and suddenly they just get it! He still does that jerky, stompish, arms out, zombie walk, but it is sooo cute! And Avery is [...]
Please Sir, May I Have Another?
25Jun07So I whined a bit about my sunburned legs? And then my husband came home. There are no words…
Feel the burn!
25Jun07Today we went to an absolutely delightful beach on the shores of Lake Huron that is just under an hour from London. The kids had a wonderful time playing in the sand.

Dear Ladies,
I know that you are quite young and although I am really only a few years older than you, I probably seem ancient and haggard to your youthful and frequently intoxicated eyes. Kids will do that to a person. I know you are just starting to enjoy the freedom of not living in your [...]
Best. Idea. Ever. The shopping cart looks like a truck/car on the side. The only problem is that it has serious steering issues because 1) the cart is at least 50% longer than a normal cart and 2) it has an extra wheel or something. Other than trying not to knock things off shelves or [...]
Please let me out of here!
22Jun07There’s this mall in London that I’ve been to a couple of times. It’s one of the bigger malls in the city, to my knowledge. But every time I go I get really lost because it is not designed in the typical mall design (read: long corridors, not too many turns). This mall seems to [...]
House Tour
22Jun07My son is going through an incredibly annoying stage where he is asserting his independence and wants to feed himself. Even though his fine motor skills leave much to be desired. Even though most of the applesauce seems to have ended up on the wall. I ask you, how did he manage to get applesauce [...]
