I just completed my half-way-to-70’th year (as it was written on my lovely Tinkerbell cake) and I suppose I should reflect on my life of late. This past year has been an excellent one. I left the realms of the self-employed and found myself an amazing role at a great little company. I was kinda [...]

Four on the Floor
Sunday, September 6, 2009
Happy 4th birthday to my dear daughter. I asked Elise this morning what her favourite part of being three was and she said “going to preschool.” Just the fact that she said that will tell you how much she has changed since her birthday last year. I am sure I wrote about the separation anxiety [...]
Happy Birthday Daniella
Tuesday, April 7, 2009
Dear Daniella, You are two years old today and we celebrated with some friends with a froggy birthday party. We almost had to cancel your party because you were crying this morning because your tummy hurt. But, in true Sunny D style, you perked up just as I was making the calls to cancel and [...]
The Jaguar vs the Fairy
Sunday, September 7, 2008
This is the story of Elise’s third birthday party. I’ve been planning a fairy birthday party for Elise pretty much since the day she was born. I am a big believer in all things make-believe and fairies are right at the top of the list. I just love the idea of them…beautiful dainty creatures watching [...]

Older yes, but wiser?
Wednesday, December 19, 2007
Today marks the 33rd anniversary of me becoming a drain on society. This past year has, again, been a biggie: I started a new job and I got a daughter, amongst other things. No big plans for tonight (unless Christine is throwing a surprise party for me…which is possible as she is quite devious, that [...]
