• Posted (On The Way Out) From My Closet - May 18th, 2013 to The Urban Closet
  I'm a bit sad about these cool kicks, but they were looking decidedly worse for wear when had to put them away last fall. Their soles were wearing thin due to the fact that I used them as brakes while...
• Commented on We Are Made of Stars.
  Awwww... who DOESN'T love that little ditty? The all the Marleys rock the hard jam. GREAT tune. :)...
• Commented on only 7 more weeks!
  I just remember how sleep was NOT my friend during that final stretch... "bedtime" in theory sounded so delicious, but in reality, it was gearing up for a night of uncomfortable tossing and turning, trying to adjust the pillow between...
• Commented on FotoFriday - Perfect Playground
  I'm glad you're getting all soothed, lady... :)...
• Commented on From My Closet - May 17th, 2013
  I have old lady neck too - its shocking how it looks to me after a winter of turtleneck-sweater-wearing! Gah. And yeah, this scarf is made of MAGIC!!...
• Posted We Are Made of Stars. to (On Top of the) Mutherload
  I've been thinking and thinking about how to feel good when things are bad. Where do you find good in the world, Sara asked the other day, when the world is full of bad and scary news...it feels kinda... hard.And...

  Naughty!! ;)...
• Posted From My Closet - May 17th, 2013 to The Urban Closet
  I've been rearranging the closet items, busting out the good weather stuff, and packing away my big stupid brown parka and whatnot. It feels good to wear shoes without socks again, even if there's a slight chill in the air...
• Commented on Um ...
  Heh. ;)...
• Commented on The Closet Shrink: Spring Fling(ing)
  Oh, ME TOO!! Go get a bunch of those maxi-dresses when you find some, Lliz - I know theyll look EXCELLENT on you. Throw a skinny belt on and sling it low-style, or a chunky one worn higher than you...
• Commented on Angelina Jolie Undergoes a Double Mastectomy
  Oh, you're right Kath - I meant in the US particularly (I meant to write that before... oops!) though it might stand to take more time to get through the system, even in Canada. In any case, I'm glad she...
• Posted The Closet Shrink: Spring Fling(ing) to The Urban Closet
  I've been sorting and purging and re-storing our things over the last few weeks, but I really like this process. It lends opportunity to taking a close look at your things for the coming season or two - it's more...
• Commented on From My Closet - May 10th, 2013
  I KNOW!! Such is the magic of this massive scarf... I love it!!...
• Commented on All Lined Up
  You're totally right, Monique - UNpacking is made heaps easier this way, too! That's why the packers sometimes annoy me - "don't put my frozen shrimp under my crackers and stuff..." I've been known to forget to put away the...
• Commented on All Lined Up
  I hardly remember how they used to have to press category buttons first... but sorting your stuff at the cash just makes sense to me (reasonably, I mean) especially when you have a weeks-worth of stuff. (Not the same for...
• Commented on All Lined Up
  I'll bet you're right about the "seeing everything" part, Christine. Amazing. Sometimes I actually prefer to bag my own stuff, actually - some of these kids, man... it's like it's their first time seeing food. "Don't you know bread doesn't...
• Commented on Where Do You Find Good In The World?
  Oh dude, all these sorts of bad-news items get me down, too. I don't know what the trick is, but I think sometimes you just have to sit in one spot and let your eyes stay open... let the goodness...
• Commented on Rock Meets Luxe: Zadig & Voltaire
  I think I love this line... :)...
• Commented on Toddler 101
  Yep... pretty much! ;)...
• Commented on It's ALIVE!
  Nice!! We don't really have the space for food-growing... your rhubarb looks amazing though! Happy cake-baking!!...
• Commented on All Lined Up
  Oh Alice... yes. In the libraries, parks, subway, street corners... there are some sad people out in the world, yo. I don't know how some people manage to just... live. Whoa, le. :/...
• Posted All Lined Up to (On Top of the) Mutherload
  I like to think of myself as being an organised and tidy person, but I don't make myself nuts about it. I mean, not for real.And recently while in the grocery store, the woman behind me remarked on how organised...
• Commented on Wiggled Out
  I have to leave the room any time the Wiggles are on... I feel for you, lady. Hang in there - it's probably just for his comfort. (But still. OY.)...
• Commented on Wild and Free
  Lovely girls, lovely mum... ;)...
• Posted Doing For Yourself to (On Top of the) Mutherload
  This kid's favourite sport is soccer. He loves watching it, playing FIFA video games, and spends hours kicking a ball around with his cronies in front of our house, for as many hours as I'll let him. And these many,...
• Commented on Angelina Jolie Undergoes a Double Mastectomy
  I think it's amazing she managed to keep a lid on things for so long... this sort of thing tends to get leaked in a hurry. (Unfortunately.) That said, I think it's great that she could take such an initiative...
• Commented on Where do Babies come (OUT) of?
  I'm all about answering the question they asked. My son is nine, but doesn't seem curious yet... I think I might push it along a little bit - he has had NO questions. But I'm going to start dropping bombs...
• Commented on Corn Muffins right from the backyard!
  That recipe sounds great, Cayla!! I wish we had more space to grow things... we really only have room for the herb boxes on our petite Balconville, but I love the idea....
• Commented on Don't ask, tell
  Yes, I read somewhere about a couple of years back not to end sentences with, "okay?" because it makes it sound like you're giving your kids a choice, when you're actually not. It makes it seem more pleasant... but really,...
• Commented on Coach's Corner
  I think he just had to get used to it... he's not used to sharing you with anyone, you know - much less, with EVERYONE. He'll get with the programme - ignore him for now. (Good luck!!)...
