Choosing a Potty for Your Toddler

Baby potties are a necessity, and something we probably don’t think about until it’s time to get one. Finding the right potty can make all the difference in the world when it is time to start training a toddler out of diapers. If you have the wrong potty, it could actually make matters much more […]

The Neighbour’s Darn Vacation!

I know it’s not nice of me and certainly not neighbourly but man am I sick of hearing about our neighbour’s vacations! This time they and some friends will be staying in Hilton Head rentals - so the kids can all play together of course! Last month they just went to Cuba for […]

I Think I’ll Pamper Myself A Bit This Weekend

I’m thinking about a few long baths, a pedicure (done by me of course - I’m not paying $60 ), a manicure (also done by me) and maybe a facial too - with one of those peel off pouches .
I’m feeling pretty worn out to be honest and I think that will all […]

My Mom Wants A Recliner From The 70s

My mom told me the other day that she wants a recliner like the one she had when I was really little. They just don’t make them the same anymore she tells me. The thing is, the new ones coming out now do recline but the foot rest doesn’t go higher than your […]

I Can’t Believe I’m Too Tired To Shop!

It’s true. Sad, yes, but very true. A friend phoned to tell me that there is a big sale on at Old Navy and I’m just too tuckered to care. AND it ends today! I know that I should go and get some clothes stocked up for next year for the […]

Do You Prefer To Have Someone Do Things For You?

OR would you rather have it explained to you so you can do it yourself? Hands down I’m the latter. I want to understand exactly how to do things so that I can do it later on my own without asking for help.
Thing is, Hubby always fixes things around the house and never […]

Rehab Shm-ehab!

Every time I turn around the magazines are showing yet another celebrity trekking off to rehab. At first I feel a “good for them for recognizing they have a problem and dealing with it”. Then, a month later when they’ve been out for a while and are returning, I start to wonder if […]
