I have to admit to writing my reviews a little bit out of order. I read The Rosie Project way back in September, right after reading Love Anthony. The reason why this fact is important is because I have been gobsmacked all year over the continuity between each new book I pick up. (Also, to…
Book Review: Me Before You
I have found it: A book that is in contention for being one of my favourite books read in 2013. It will undeniably be in my Top 3, up there beside The Light Between Oceans and The Husband’s Secret (review to come in the coming months). It was a book that I could not put…
Your Last Day To Sign Up for the Virtual 5K is…
I have a really exciting and important announcement! After much discussion with Greta, we’ve decided to extend the race and the sign-up time for The Dynamic Duel Canada vs USA Virtual 5K. (click the image to sign up!) We wanted to give you one more weekend to run, because we saw how many people were…
Race Bibs Revealed
I am so grateful for all of the sign ups that we have had so far for The Dynamic Duel Canada vs USA Virtual 5K. At time of writing this post, Team USA is ahead by 5 registrations. (It doesn’t need to stay like that though! Get your registrations in, Canadians!). I told you last…
Glimpses of Halloween
I’ll be the first to admit that I do not love Halloween. It is not my favourite holiday. I probably haven’t looked forward to it for many years. I can find very little redeeming in a night that is focused on the scary and the evil and the dark parts of life. But there is…
Mother Sees All
It is dark. Quiet. Not too quiet though, as my kids are in bed and supposed to be sleeping. Quiet is good. Quiet means that they are in their respective beds, trying to drift off to dreamland. Quiet means that I can finally just stop the daily grind and veg for a bit. Quiet means…

Home for the Holidays
There’s just something about this place. There’s something about the big tree in the backyard that is filling our lawn with red and orange leaves. There is something about little boys in their slightly-too-large coats running over those leaves with toy lawnmowers. There is something about the sun streaming in through the big living room…
Car Seat Conversations
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Britax. The opinions and text and stories are 100% mine. My husband keeps asking when we get to turn Gavin around in his car seat. Our one and a half year old is still rear-facing while the rest of the family all looks forward,…
Book Review: The Silent Wife
“A few short months are all it will take to make a killer out of her.” (Chapter 1) I picked up The Silent Wife by A.S.A. Harrison because it was suggested that I would like this book if I liked Gone Girl. A few paragraphs into the first chapter was all I needed to realize that…
How To Run Your Best Race: Super Fast
Until recently, I kind of forgot that Amy was always the athletic one growing up. At nearly three years my junior, she was the sporty one. That’s what happens in families. You forge your own niches to stand out from the rest of your siblings. We both were successful in school and filled our schedules…
