Pancake Tuesday
Someone reminded me today is Pancake Tuesday (Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras if you swing that way). Fan-ta-bu-lous idea to eat pancakes for dinner. Yum. Back in the day; my mom would make “silver dollar” and “quarter” (size) pancakes for me. For some reason it made the pancakes even better when you could eat a…

My family field trip
There’s that SuperMom logo again (signalling an impending fan-ta-bu-lous thought/act on my part – and never-ever pertaining to laundry). I have made reservations for a family field trip at a not-to-be-named-hotel-in-the-city (well – I’ll name it on Monday if you like). See it’s my birthday. That’s hotel-worthy don’t you think? My parents gave us a…

Barbie Turns 50
Barbie is turning 50. Not bad ol’ girl. I, for one, still have my childhood Barbie…I also have a Donny Osmond doll (sorry Ken). (Fact: Barbie was designed by Ruth Handler in 1959 to be a doll through which girls could live out their dreams). A survey by Harris/Decima discovered seven-in-10 (69%) Canadian women played…
Throw back to June Cleaver
What the friggin’ heck is wrong with us MOMs?! Seriously, this is a cry for help – take me out for a cup of tea and talk some sense into me…and I’ll do the same for you. What I’m bloggin’ about here is our insane shame over things-not-home-made. Damn you media-marketing-health-sport-industries. Given, childhood obesity rates…
BlogHers ACT Canada – Green Valentine
Check out my new article at BlogHers ACT Canada; Green Valentine I am, admittedly, a curmudgeon when it comes to Valentine’s Day. My thinking is that it is a holiday created by card companies and marketing firms to take advantage of February blahs and boost sales. Valentine’s Day – Bah Humbug! That confessed; I am…
