One Step Closer to Fabulous

One Step Closer to Fabulous

Does your toddler ever interrupt your morning grooming rituals by barging in to the washroom to observe your transformation from ok to one step closer to fabulous?  Mine does.  “What’s that you’re putting on your eyes?”  “Why do you do that”?  “Why is your hair curly some days and straight other days?”

Skip in Your Step

Skip in Your Step

I was caught off guard the other day with the excruciating fact that my youngest is becoming self-sufficient.  What is my purpose if not to draw his bath every evening?  Before I could say “get upstairs and I’ll get your bath going”, water was on, right temperature was applied, plug was in, bubble bath was in and he was in?!

You Need a Back-Up

You Need a Back-Up

Now that the baby of the household is in school I’m amazed by the number of pairs of shoes, extra clothes, snow pants, mitts, hats, scarves and everything we must have.  This one kid is giving the Smith quintuplets a run for their money in school wears required.  We need back-ups for everything “just in case”.

Great Friday

Great Friday

Good Friday?  More like GREAT FRIDAY!  It’s a free get out of your everyday grind card.  It’s an extra day that doesn’t count so the weight of what you “should” be doing is non-existent.  I would have been at the office all day so everything I do today is just a superfluous GREAT FRIDAY gift.

That's Mom's Job

That's Mom's Job

Do you often hear your kids say, “mom will do it” or “that’s mom’s job” when it comes to the domestic engineering of your home? Do you wonder why the heck they automatically think that every floor needing mopping, clothes needing washing, dinner needing cooking and toilet needing scrubbing is mom’s job?
