Tonight my husband and I went out on a date. It was great! We had supper at the Keg, went for a walk along the River Landing, and saw the movie “Away from Her” (it’s finally come to Saskatoon). Everything was good, from the food to the walk to the movie. “Away from Her” is sad and touching all at the same time. I would recommend it. It’s a story […] Read More
Thank you, Beck, for this link. It’s coming back for another season. Yay!
that my baby is taking a bottle – it was quite the battle, but mom won in the end that I can go on my kids’ field trips that I can be at home for the summer that we bought our house when we did (there is NO WAY we could have afforded to buy it with the housing prices the way they are now) for my house – I’m […] Read More
The day I posted that I was conceding defeat and putting my baby girl on formula, I spoke to three different women who all told me they had had to stop breastfeeding before they wanted to for at least one of their children. That got me thinking. I’m not the only person who has had problems with their breastmilk supply. I went onto the internet looking for information that would […] Read More
Well, switching my baby girl over to formula has proved much more difficult than I thought. She simply will not take a bottle (or a sippy cup or anything for that matter). She drank from a bottle the first night of trying to switch her to formula, but she really hadn’t drank anything all day. But other than that night, she really hasn’t taken anything. After 2 extremely hard days […] Read More
Jericho, my favorite TV show this past season, got the ax today. You can read about it here. The title of the article basically describes my thoughts right now: “The End of the World Cometh: ‘Jericho’ has been canned. CBS, you suck.” I loved the storyline in ‘Jericho’. What would happen if several major cities in the U.S. were bombed with nukes simultaneously? How would that affect a small town […] Read More
Today I had to come to terms with the fact that I have to put my baby girl on formula. My milk supply has been diminishing for a couple of months now. First Lynae would feed for 20 minutes each time, then it was down to 15 and then 10, and then less than 10. She would be fussy once she finished eating so I knew she wasn’t getting full.

Thank you Becky for posting this on your blog. Click on this link to go to her blog post and click on ‘here’ in her post to get to the e-card (or if you want to skip that, here is the link taking you directly to the card). I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. Incidentally, I played it for my two sons (aged 11 and […] Read More
I saw the trailer for “Away from Her” when my husband and I went to see “Reign Over Me”. I was intrigued by the trailer. Now its out in theaters and it has a rating of 93% with ‘rotten tomatoes‘. (if you’ve never heard of Rotten Tomatoes, it’s a website that rates movies based on reviews from official critics and anyone adding their own reviews or ratings – its great! […] Read More
It’s more fun dressing up baby girls than baby boys. Girls have cuter things to wear.
