Family Footage
We’re not talking about movies from old vacations or holidays. We’re talking about SQUARE footage. It’s a timely topic and an ongoing debate that I (like to) have with people. […]
Willingness to Learn (& Change)
I recently had the privilege of listening to my friend Luke Anderson rehearse his Ted Talk with me about accessibility in our city. He considers himself “gifted” with the opportunity […]
Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?
The lowdown on Condos, Service Dogs & Therapy Dogs. Doggie waste bag stands, mobile pet grooming and walkers with 10 dogs on leashes are a frequent sight these days. It […]
Day 30. All I ever needed to know…
All I ever needed to know, I learned from living in a condo. Seriously. There are so many life lessons that came out of this adventure. Not just for myself, but […]
Day 29 – Blessed by geography & “gut” check
D Day is one day away. The condo is getting sparse and there’s not much left but essentials, mostly food, toiletries and clothing for one more day.The bunk bed has […]
Day 28 – Bubbles, beetles, bikes (& bats)
Some fun can be made on your own, with nothing required but your imagination. Other types, you have to pay for. The cottage lended itself to the former. There’s also […]
Day 27 – Living in 3 places.
Some people think hindsight is everything. I think perspective is. Everything is relative. Relative to where you’ve been. Relative to where you’re going. When I packed for our 30 day […]
Day 26. Three-Step Daddy Day Care.
Good things seem to come in 3’s in my universe. The epitome being the boys. I’ve also learned through my better half that 3 is also the perfect number of […]
Day 25. C’mon cowgirl. Pack it up (& suck it up)
I was looking forward to the annual community summer BBQ last night that the Property Management and Concierge welcomed us to. Sadly, we had to decline due to my conflicting night class. […]
Day 24. Building a city… and other small feats
Again, the location of our condo and proximity to the subway made for an easy escape to a concert last night for what would probably be the final “date night” during […]
Day 23. HIS top 5 kvetches.
Let me be the first to say that he’s been a trooper. He’s had a lot of raving fans on this adventure that have commended him, offered congratulatory pats and […]
Day 22. Lost (& found).
We usually don’t realize that when we lose something, it may in fact be an opportunity in disguise to find something. Often, it’s something different than what we thought we […]
Day 21. The Final countdown. 10 days to go.
It was a special day to celebrate Dad. The little one wanted to start it right by taking over some of dad’s stereotypical “male” responsibilities. The pint sized garbage in the […]
Day 20. Making your own fun & trying new things
It was the weekend and we were all ready for an easy morning and some down time. Although young boys and the latter isn’t a likely combination, it’s still a welcome […]
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 […]
