Relationships & Family > Coping with Divorce Celebrating divorce: 1 of 6

So this week's mail collection included two wedding shower invites, 2 wedding invitations, 1 baby shower invite and one that took me completely off guard. I got a Le Divorce Party invite. It was a simple white invitation with a quote on the front by comedian Robin Williams, 'Ah yes, divorce...from the Latin word meaning to r...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: A day in the life of a mother: 7 of 30

I never ever, ever should have turned the radio on this morning. I should have just left the TV on and grooved to the musical numbers from the Backyardigans on Treehouse. Instead, I randomly selected a radio station and the first song I heard was Guns 'N Roses 'Welcome To The Jungle'. Now normally I crank up this song when I...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Real life heroes: 70 of 163

Not sure why I haven't heard about NOW or Des Garvey before a few weeks ago....but all that matters is that I do now. He is now my new local hero...he's man that I've never met but who has inspired me to do more. He is a man who saw a need a world a way, made a promise to make a difference, and delivered on that word. Des Ga...
Style & Beauty > Style & Beauty (Other) Is real beauty on the outside or the inside?: 63 of 146

In this celebrity obsessed world where the idea of 'perfection' is constantly attempted to be obtained, along comes an ordinary looking woman in her late 40s who gives our collective asses a much needed kick and forces us to remember that old adage 'don't judge a book by its cover.' This clip was sent to me a few days ago by...
Entertainment > Celebrity Gossip & News Celebrity news: The Bee Gees celebrate 50 years of music making: 1 of 1

Growing up I clearly remember being the envy of the kids on my street because of the huge 'playhouse' we had in our backyard. It was actually supposed to be my dad's storage shed but somehow my sister and I convinced my dad to hold off on his storage shed dreams and instead he pimped it out 'playhouse' style. So some carpeti...
Entertainment > Album Reviews Album reviews: Vince Vaccaro, by Vince Vaccaro: 1 of 1

So what do you get when you mix together the genetics of a Sicilian dad and a French Canadian mom? How about one of Chatelaine Magazine's 'Top 10 Men To Watch'. What another yummy Canadian singer? You don't say? It must be something in the Canadian water to explain all these piercing eyes and rugged good looks. Le sigh. [I t...
Entertainment > Music (Other) The importance of music in our lives: 49 of 82

So I was doing my weekly catch-up entry reading on my friend's blog this week and one totally got me thinking about my life and the music in my life. In his blog, my friend wrote: Robin Sharma says do your best and let life take care of the rest. He is a motivational speaker, author ("Monk who sold his Ferrari", "The saint, ...
Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes How to deal with break-ups: 11 of 18

This past weekend I did a marathon "under-48-hours-mommy-is-getting-a-break-and-is-ge tting-an-entire king-size-bed-to-herself" trip to Toronto to surprise one of my best friends at her 'keep it a secret she doesn't know anything about this' wedding shower. The trip of course was a total blur [it went by way too fast] and the...
Health & Fitness > Fitness & Exercise Tips Recommended music to listen to while you jog: 5 of 5

Well I thought it was going to be an easy topic and then I started Googling and reading...who knew that music for jogging was such a well researched topic? My brain is about to explode. So here is everything I've read and absorbed into my memory bank...in a condensed pocket sized version. Let us begin with the latest researc...
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Reviews Video game reviews: Rhythm Tengoku Gold DS: 3 of 3

The fact that this is even being written is a miracle itself. It means that somehow I managed to put down the Nintendo DS console and made my way over to the computer, turned it on and started to type. See I've been in this video game trance for the last week or so. I've neglected the household chores [laundry room...what? g...
