Gifts of Imperfection – Journal One

I’m reading a new book called The Gifts of Imperfection by Brene Brown.  After reading the introduction and the first chapter, I’m feeling better.  I’m feeling like I need to blog the findings I’ve had within myself.  If only to create discussion or to help someone else feel like they’re not alone.  I’ve never kept… Continue reading Gifts of Imperfection – Journal One

I Need Your Fashion Advice

OK.  I’ve been thinking about this lately.  I have a piercing on my face that I often don’t even think about.  A lot of people, after knowing me for a few months will sometimes say “OMG you got a piercing” to which I am startled because even I forget I have it, and then I… Continue reading I Need Your Fashion Advice

Sick Boy

I have a sick boy at home with me.  Mmmmmmm life feels normal today.  I may sound like a terrible mother but I am rather glad Isaac is home sick :).  He’s not too sick, not tossing his cookies or anything.  I really don’t know WHAT is wrong.  His appetite is there.  Just low energy… Continue reading Sick Boy

I’m Never Going Here

Searching for a meme to do today, I came across Mama Kat’s writer’s workshop and I decided to join in.  The other meme I was thinking about, well the theme was soup.  I would write many an ode to soup but…it felt a bit…empty.  ANYway…I chose Mama Kat and the prompt I chose is: Name… Continue reading I’m Never Going Here

Best. Compliment. Ever.

“Mommy, when I was just a little seed I made a wish.  I wished that I would have a mommy just like you.” – Silas   That’s what Silas said to me in the health food store yesterday.  If it hadn’t been immediately tainted by the red-headed teller that can’t tell Vitamin C from liquid… Continue reading Best. Compliment. Ever.

Autism and the Sixth Sense

Alright, controversial subject time.  I might make some readers uncomfortable with this and others will get totally into it. No, I don’t think my son sees dead people… This morning Silas was mad at me because I told him he couldn’t have his iphone for the rest of the day because he hit Isaac.  He’s… Continue reading Autism and the Sixth Sense

Soggy Halloween

Halloween was a bust.  Seriously, 65% of people in my neighbourhood either forgot Halloween or were too lame to get into the spirit this year.  We happened upon so many dark houses that we decided to get the rock outta here and make way to a different neighbourhood.  My townhouse complex is usually a bona… Continue reading Soggy Halloween

Hurricane Sandy

  It’s hard to know what to write on a day like today.  I’m sipping my coffee, power on, TV blasting information of the hurricane.  Something feels wrong about writing a silly blog today. My heart really goes out to everyone that’s fallen victim to Hurricane Sandy.  We’ve seen New York City destroyed hundreds of… Continue reading Hurricane Sandy
