This evening Elina and I went to supper at Lori’s place and as usual, Elina and Stella headed upstairs to transform themselves into little princesses. Connor stayed with Lori and I and told cool stories of all he has been learning so far (he’s a little genious).
We had a nice supper, dessert and we were [...]
Elina hasn’t shown much interest in riding her bicycle this summer – mostly the kick scooter that she uses with her daddy.
We’ve been wanting a new bike for her since the old one is a little too small for her, so a school friend offered us a newer bigger one, which turned out to be [...]
Today Elina’s school had their Fall Fair – near the last days of summer. It was a balmy 27c – and it was fun! Elina started the day by waking us up ooober early (excited for the Fall Fair) and then went to gymnastics with her Daddyo.
I reported for my shift at the Tea and [...]

Elina joined me for shopping today and in the fruit section Elina noticed a fruit and yelled “a Dragon fruit“, can we try it mommy?
So we did.
$8.00 at the checkout we came home, washed it off, searched for “how to eat a dragon fruit” and Elina tried the first bite and LOVED it. It tasted [...]
Thanks to a rainy start and middle of the day and a few friendly discussions online at my fav. online hangout – SplitCoastStampers – I got the scoop on a nifty machine I can use for work. Its a personal coffee maker. It will certainly help keep money in my pocket instead of the dear [...]
Found this site very interesting in regards to how we raise our daughter…We’re ready many books and attended many workshops (with and without Elina). Every decision we make about Elina’s well being is done by choice…. Cool resource for parents – Invest in Kids!
A positive parent is protective. Because infants and young children are so [...]
I work at University of Toronto and believe it or not my union is the United Stell Workers (the of America has been removed for Canada). Well, every 3 years we go through this down-to-the-last-hour “will we strike” or “can I return to work”.
Today was that day and all day I worried about not going [...]
