Day 19. It takes a village.
“It takes a village” doesn’t just apply to raising a child. If you stay attuned to the world around you, you’ll see that accomplishments both big and small, are seldom the […]
Day 18. Water shut down & other small mishaps.
I started the day by making sure that everyone had early baths and/or showers. Relatively simple when you have early risers. I also managed to do a load of laundry and […]
Day 17. Construction sunrise & sunset.
Just like the sore sight of finding your hotel bill slipped beneath the door on the morning of check out, I received an email in the wee hours of the morning to confirm our upcoming departure. […]
Day 16. Condo math. It’s everywhere.
Still no complaints about the lack of toys here. Fascinating that the boys continue to find creative ways to play. Today’s play required the simple tool of masking tape. And […]
Day 15. A noisy trip down memory lane.
An article in last Sunday’s Times covered a recent “curious mid-life crisis.” Feeling “anchored” by too many possessions, a millionaire simply decided to abandon them. He reduced his life to a tumi carry-on […]
Day 14 – A lazy Sunday morning. No such thing.
It started off as a lazy Sunday morning. With no dog to walk we lazed around and had a very slow start to the day, just hanging out. Literally. My […]
Day 13. Pepper the cat & Renter’s Remorse
Having friends in the same condo can be great, especially when you’re in a bind. Which my friend was. Her cat sitter bailed. I was more than happy to help […]
Day 12. Breaking the rules & trying to fit in.
As much as I miss the dog, it is a bit easier without him while I’m on my own with the boys. And I know it’s the right thing to do. […]
Day 11. Drop & Flop, bath time and date night.
I can tell you that no matter how much smaller your living space is and that no matter how close in proximity you place the laundry bin, they won’t hit […]
Day 10. From sad to glad.
I woke up and like most people, checked my phone within less than five minutes. I had the most amazing email from my lifeline. He was worried about me after last […]
Day 9. Nice Jugs & Mothers guilt.
It’s always great to have a 24 hr Shoppers within walking distance. I needed to pick up two water carafes for the office. We have a shared mission to stay […]
Day 8. No Driveway? No problem.
Here we go. Week 2. More settled but still adjusting and still taking repeated, frequent elevator rides up and down. This seems like a perfect time in our journey to dispel […]
Day 4. Penthouse Picasso.
We’ve gone back to checking the weather by physically going outside on to the balcony rather than checking our phones. When we went to turn on the morning news however, […]
Hi honey, I’m home!
I’m fortunate. My boys are a bit nomadic. They don’t tend to be attached to physical things and are always up for an adventure. Nonetheless, patience is not their strongest […]
Slicing Square Footage… into a third
While the condo had everything we needed, there was still some packing to do. It was a bit like packing for a holiday… except a bit easier, since we knew […]
A conflict of interest (or three)
Did I mention my family is a condo developer? Did I mention we have a Family of Companies that stem from the core business? Property Management, Condominium Rentals and Long Term […]
