Preface: If you are someone like a certain unnamed coworker of mine…okay, I’ll just say it, it’s Krista…then these ideas will seem pretty simple and, well, lame to you. That is why she has promised me that she will share her repertoire of kids’ party themes (she always ensures that the decorations, games, loot bag […] Read more…
Here’s my review in a nutshell: I liked it. I’d say the the first one was better, probably because the Abu Dhabi locale didn’t do anything for me (I much prefer the NYC setting), and the Carrie/Big wedding drama was so intense in the original, but the sequel was still enjoyable.

So, have you ever taken your children to a restaurant, only to live to regret it?Either you said yes, or you are a LIAR, because I’m sure we’ve all had those experiences.

The food cupboards were packed to overflowing, and you had to be careful when opening a door that you weren’t hit in the head with a falling bag […] Read more…

In honour of this monumental occasion, I wanted to direct your attention to some of the first posts […] Read more…
In the staff room the other day, a couple of teachers were discussing Feng Shui, and on way back to class one of my colleagues suggested it would make a good post topic for my blog…so this is for you, J! (Although I’m not touching the whole ‘hammer-under-the-bed-for-fertility’ thing.) I have to warn you that some of my points will […] Read more…
Last week we attended Welcome To Kindergarten night at the school. Yes, our little Frannie is starting JK in 4 short months.
