bad-ass

Things have been quiet around here this week and I realized that perhaps I should mention why. Come next week, these kitschy corners will have been over-hauled. As you may know, I do all of my own design work and the mister does all the coding. All I will say is that you you should probably expect the unexpected (eye roll, right?) as it’s all been rather agonizing/exciting.

I however have still found plenty of time to hoard up in the kitchen, drink excellent beer and wine, muddle about with pumpkins and gourds and play with my kiddos. So. At least there’s all of that. Here’s what we’ve been up to lately, photo essay style (which no, does not mean this is a lazy post, collages take time my friends!)

If you’re someone like me, who struggles with felling like that – then you NEED TO HAVE THIS ALBUM. Music is a powerful tool in healing;, in learning, in experiencing joy.

It’s not just about a party. (Which, as many of you know – I have no qualms against. I love me a good party). It’s just that I’ve mainstream media shines this shallow light on music. It lifts up the kind of popular music that may have a good beat (arguably), to get your booties shakin’ (again, have no qualms with this, I love me a good booty shake) to the masses.

And fuck, we buy it. We eat that shit up. [click to continue…]

Woman Down

August 7, 2012

Granular and hard to focus. That image portrays, in part, what’s going on around here. It’s times like these that I kiss my iPhone. Because iPhone’s…and their fantabulous appery (yes, it’s a term), reign toddlers in. Times like this, where I am flat out on my back…

Currently Digging On…

July 11, 2012

Nick Sherman. He’s a fine cross of Ray LaMontagne meets John Mayer, except he’s Anishinaabe – so way better. I kid. Or do I? I was introduced to him at ANDPVA’s last Red Revue at The Sister in Toronto. It was also on this night that I was introduced to the greatness that is Dr. [...]

Simple (Honest) Strawberry Shortcake. Tiered x 4.

June 28, 2012

Now take that title with a grain of salt. Tiered cakes are to be respected. Straight up. One must be gentle yet stern with them all at the same time. At least that’s why I believe this sexy cake came out so magnificently. So timely. Surely, it also had something to do with setting a vibe [...]

10 Summertime Outdoor Activities: Toddler & Baby Edition

June 18, 2012

I’m all about merging the age gap between my 11 month old and 2 1/12 year old. When it comes to activities that is. There are enough times that each of them have their own personal play, or activities just for them, specific to their stage in development and skill. That stuff is important. Fo the most [...]

31 Things I Love About You

June 13, 2012

The father of mah babies that is. My baby daddy. Because what used to be a day of dread for me is now a day of celebration. Father’s Day. This, an open letter, for all that is wonderful in my small life and so very different from that of parts of my childhood. I used to think that [...]

Eat Some Healthy Soup Okay?

January 18, 2012

Because it’s that time of year. Fresh off the cookie, chocolate, decadent, savory / sweet train. Aka: the holidays. As you may know, I am a firm subscriber to the mantra of moderation. Which means that when it’s the holidays? One indulges in (not vacuums up – but it happens), the treats. The fat-laden savoury goodness that is [...]

From The Vault: My Most Favourite Posts

January 11, 2012

I’ve noticed quite a few, “Top Posts of 2011″ and the like from writers in the blogging community. I however have decided to choose from the much smaller collection from whence this blog began. Why? Because I started out as an irregular, complete novice. Who still does not post everyday. However, come this year a whole lot of [...]

Our Newest (Etsy) Addition: Sleepsacks!

December 29, 2011

Because babies are wriggly. And it’s dang cold outside. If you live in a cold climate like me. Even if not, those babies are famous for wanting to be all cozy and wrapped up. So demanding, I know! So. There are woombies and sleep-sacks galore out there that you can parouse over on the internets. [...]
