I can’t believe that there are only 14 days of work left before I go on mat leave!! For a while there it was still months in the future. Then magically time moved on, I planned some vacation days, I ended up scheduling the leave to start a week earlier than planned … wow, I …
Last night we actually managed to get in about 2 hours of yard work. I’ve been feeling a bit frustrated and hopeless because there’s so much to do and I just don’t have the energy to tackle it. So it was a real treat to see what a difference a couple of hours can make. …
I can’t wait. Boy oh boy I have been tired the last two days. I’ve had late starts because of appointments so I’ve been able to sleep in until 7:30 or later. I’ve reinstituted naps in the middle of the day in my office – 30 minutes on Tuesday, almost an hour today. and I’m …
My mom and I went to my sister’s baby shower this weekend – fun!! It was good to see people I know, to spend time with my sister, and talk about babies. My mom was nice enough to drive the whole way so I got to snooze coming and going – totally essential, given how …
I don’t even have the energy to give this post a capital letter. t-i-r-e-d. It’s Wednesday, half way through a productive week. So far this week I’ve begun changing my work style (Thank you 4-hour workweek), finished a report I’d been avoiding, took action on transferring my US mutual funds to Canada, took care of …

They now wake up in bed together, clean the house together, count up receipts and money, plan meals, make friends, …
Finally, I actually felt like cooking tonight! A combo of the hot weather and pregnancy stomach means I haven’t been into food preparation – or even eating – very much lately. And Mondays are particularly hard as I get home at 5 and have yoga at 6. But for some reason, on the way home …
This weekend we wandered into a baby store so M could show me a baby bed he liked. This store is a newer, cool, natural-focused baby & mom store in the downtown area and shall remain nameless for liability reasons. Turns out we have friends in com,mon with the owner who was a lovely, friendly …
I’ve been reading “The 4-Hour Workweek” by Timothy Ferriss, and quite honestly, I can highly recommend it. So far what I’ve read aligns very practically and directly with lots of basic truths about how we use our time, how our thoughts limit our lives, and the need to live life with passion and excitement rather …
We went to visit my in-laws the other night – brother & sister-in-law and their 2 kids, ages 5 and 8. I”m excited that our baby will have some cousins right in town to play with! We haven’t seen them a lot during the pregnancy, and I want them to know that this baby is …
