For a long time, when I was a kid, I wanted to be some sort of an artist. Maybe an animator or just a famous painter. I drew a lot. My mom kept an uncomfortable number of drawings I made when I was 3. I kept doodling up until I was an adult, encouraged by…
This parenthood thing. I used to think it was the hardest thing I’d ever encountered when kidlet was an infant. Looking back, I can’t help but think, what the heck was I thinking?
I’ve concluded that February is the suckiest month of the year. I don’t know who decided to make it a month of romance, but as a cabin-fevered woman who is sick of the snow and who hasn’t had a night out since last year, I can say definitely that at least they were smart enough to…
I’m not generally a fan of New Year’s resolutions, at least not for myself. It’s not that I’m against them in theory – self-improvement is awesome – but in practice they tend to end up at the bottom of my priority list. This year, the resolutions I’ve made are more for kidlet than me, but…

Heads up! There’s another post with the new shows from 2016 over here! I’m a huge fan of French Immersion. In just one school year, my son picked up a tremendous amount of spoken and written French, and my husband and I don’t speak any French at home. Little kids take to new languages like…
I didn’t make the switch to using more eco products until after my son was born. People may scoff at the idea of “green” products but when you have a newborn baby with severe eczema all over his face, arms, and legs, you’ll find you’ll do just about anything to help clear their skin and…
