I couldn’t possibly keep these conversation gems with Mr. D all to myself, so I thought of creating episodes to share with you tidbits of our bedtime conversations. I find them amusing, fascinating, and sometimes sobering because Mr. D, who is currently 8 years old, has a mind that never rests (geez, I wonder whereContinue reading “Bedtime Banter (Episode 1)”

Regrettable Moments
I’ve touched upon this subject a few blogs ago (entitled: Life Chart: How Well Do You Know Yourself?), but I wanted to expand on it because we can’t escape life without having regrets, but we can certainly find the lessons if we stopped for a moment to reflect. There are the less important regrettable momentsContinue reading “Regrettable Moments”
My Mother’s Day Crown? Waiting For Amazon To Deliver It Of Course!
You know that feeling that many of us have been addicted to, especially during this past year, when a big delivery truck pulls up and stops right in front of your place. It’s not for your neighbour it’s for you! Your package has arrived! Go claim your prize! That’s the feeling I’m still waiting forContinue reading “My Mother’s Day Crown? Waiting For Amazon To Deliver It Of Course!”
A Pathway Through Time
Mr. D is 8 years old and can be quite pensive at times (when he’s not in a verbal combat with me!). One evening while eating his orange jello (I think jello is gross, sorry jello fans) and joking around with me, he suddenly put his jello down and threw himself on the couch andContinue reading “A Pathway Through Time”

I May Lay Them Down To Sleep…But They Are Not Mine To Keep
Before my children were born I remember a little secret conversation I had with God that I’ll share with you. I promised to do my best in raising my children, and asked for forgiveness for all the times I would screw things up (there were, and there will be plenty of times in the future).Continue reading “I May Lay Them Down To Sleep…But They Are Not Mine To Keep”

Mr. D
“Aren’t you going to write one about me?!” he asks as he sits next to me reading every word I type. This is Mr. D! Inquisitive, attentive to detail, and an endless stream of chatter can be heard whenever he is home. Let’s try to start this from the beginning. I was perfectly content withContinue reading “Mr. D”
Ms. G
I knew I did not want to have children at a young age but I knew I always wanted to be a mother. Soon after I got married, casually trying to conceive was not working, so we decided to take a trip to Paris. We thought it would be the one place we most likelyContinue reading “Ms. G”
