The movie that should be made based on Miriam Toews’ book The Flying Troutmans- well I just realized who should play Thebes, the 11 year old prodigous crafter.
Tavi, aka Style Rookie, the 13 year old fashion blog sensation. She should play Thebes. I realized after seeing a picture of her in the latest issue of [...]

I just finished reading Winnipeg writer Miriam Toews’ book The Flying Troutmans. Actually, I finished it, stood up in the middle of my bedroom and walked backwards in a figure eight 3 times (uh… rewind?) and now I am reading it again for the second time in a week.
It’s about an aunt and a mom and a son [...]
You may not believe me, and that’s fine, but I swear that the following is true.
So today was a so-so day. Loenne was off her regular nap schedule and was kind of cranky and out of sorts all day because of it, so I didn’t get anything done that I’d hoped to, because she wasn’t napping. [...]
It’s saturday night,
and my husband went out!
My baby goes to bed at 7.
What is a girl to do with her time?
When she usually stays up past eleven?
Baking, enjoying a glass of wine.
Scheming, thinking of now.
This life is so brand, it’s you that is new
I’ve been always this way forever.
Hey there! I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately- [...]

Hey friends, it’s me! Former fashion designer, current stay at home mom, back in action. Just kidding about the former fashion designer thing. Although it’s beginning to feel that way. Sigh. I’ve had a few emails about viewing my spring 2010 collection. Choke! Sob! There isn’t one! Oh well.
Guess what? We’re moving!! I chant that ever so [...]
Two years ago today I was putting the finishing touches on my wedding dress. I think I finished it with an hour or two to spare before the ceremony. It will probably always be the prettiest dress I ever made.
Happy Anniversary to us!
I just finished reading Dolly Parton’s autobiography written in 1994- My Life and Other Unfinished Business. Whoa! It was definitely written by her- as soon as you read the first sentence it’s like hearing her voice in your head. She’s so weird. She says the three most important things in her life are God, Music and [...]
Helloooo! Where does the time go? Seriously? Motherhood really is a full time job. Who knew! Loenne is napping, I should be cleaning. Oh, well.
There isn’t much new in my world. Maybe that’s not entirely true. . . I went to Manitoba with Loenne and my Mom about 10 days ago. It was my Grandma’s 88th [...]
Dom,Loenne, and I hit up the mall this morning for a few baby supplies. We discovered this in Toy’s R Us. Is it just us, or is this totally wrong?
It’s a pink Ouija board, for ages 8 and up! The Mystifying Oracle comes with ‘question cards’ with ‘72 fun things to ask’. So if you want [...]
I am in love with kohlrabi right now. It’s kind of hard to find, so some might call it a rare gem. I was first introduced to the vegetable in my youth, when my Grandma was growing it in her garden in Elm Creek, Manitoba. It has the texture of a raw turnip crossed with a radish, and [...]
