I heard it for the first time a few days into our big Toronto adventure as we were driving away from our afternoon meeting at Corus Entertainment. It had been Cameron’s and my first face-to-face with the people we would be working with on the commercial shoot. It had been a good meeting. Everyone was nice…

Little Girl in the Big City
“Have you applied for us to be on The Amazing Race Canada?” Dan asked me a few days ago. He had just seen a commercial for the casting call and was tempted by the idea of fame and fortune and spending so much quality time with the love of his life. Heh. “Are you CRAZY?”…
Words to Live a Year By
So, here is a little secret insight into who I am. My blog title didn’t just come about all nilly willy. I was methodical about choosing it. I really wanted my blog to have a focus on motherhood while pointing to the Divine. I have never noticed God at work so much as I have through parenting…

A Little Thanks Before The End
This year started out with so much hope and so much trepidation. I gingerly walked on eggshells into the new year just hoping to crawl my way up from the dismal days of 2011. I didn’t start out my year with big goals, just tiny seeds of ideas that I wasn’t yet ready to expose…
50 Ways to Stuff your Stockings
8am. That was the moment every Christmas morning when we could finally leave the confines of our bedroom and go jump on Mom and Dad to wake them up. It was the time, down to the very minute, that we had been waiting for all year. It was when the waiting was finally over. We…
The Hottest Gift of the Year
Every year around this time, one product is heralded as The Hottest Gift of the Year. Recent years we have seen the iPad and the eReader and the Keurig coffee maker come out on top. These items become hot commodities around Christmas time, and suddenly everyone has one. Receivers of these gifts feel spoiled while…
And Then the World Shrank
I slowly started to see the tweets coming into my Twitter stream early Friday. I noted them and passed them by, hoping it would come to nothing… hoping it was too far away…. hoping it wouldn’t affect me. A school shooting. More tweets came. And more. And more. And then the numbers started to become…
The Best Giver – a NOVICA Giveaway
Do you remember when Christmas changed for you? As a child, I remember feeling like Christmas Eve was the hardest night of the year to endure. I was so excited to find out what I was getting the next morning that I could barely close my eyes. Morning would come and I would be awake…
Codename: Agent Tinsel – A Giveaway!
I don’t know how you shop for the holidays. I mostly do it online. As a Mom with very little alone time I simply can’t get all my Christmas shopping done with two little snoops riding shotgun in the cart and in the baby carrier. Except, online shopping has become a little more difficult these…
Monsters Are Coming for Christmas
As December picks up and I am desperately trying to keep my head above water (I must have been nuts thinking Christmas on maternity leave would be simpler than normal,) I can honestly say that I have felt like my life has been overrun by monsters for the past little while. Mostly, it is…
