I came across this while perusing i-village and was totally blown away by how wonderful they look. Being a plus size mommy myself. It's hard to find skirts that fit me. I'm short too... like smurf short so most skirts either bulk wrong at mid section and make me look frumpy or just don't fit around my curves. These skirts are outstanding and hide...

Okay I realize the cartoon above depicts a form of racism.  It's not truly meant that way.  I love people of all color and race.  My nieces and nephews are Asian and I'm the whitest girl in Canada.  Trailer park really. However, that being said.  I have a beef! Lately whenever we are on the road all I see are East Indian...

Men are strange. Yep I said it. They know it. We know it (women) but what else about men should we (women) know? FD and I have been married for six years now and I have learned a thing or two about men while being with him. My last relationship was with Gamer's father and it lasted 10 yrs or so. And after a disastrous failure at that relationship...

It's been insanely gorgeous outside lately here in BC, especially with the Winter Olympics going on. So my gf (t) came over the other day and she looked hot! I mean she was all dressed up and not in baggy jogging pants, which is what we stay at home moms are most comfortable in (ahem) seven days a week. She looked beautiful! She had makeup on,...

It's Tuesday which means randomness is imperitive, thanks to Keely over at the UNmom. My cat is crazy!  Thomas is part Siamese and part Tabby and he's nuckin futs lately.  I swear he's turning into a dog, drinking out of the toity and begging for food.  Well he decided he'd try to climb the curtains, something he hasn't done since he...

Olympic hockey fever has taken our country by storm and FD (forgetful dad) and I are no different than any other proud Canadian and we hosted an Olympic Hockey Fever Event on Facebook for our friends to come over and cheer team Canada on against the United States on Sunday. We lost! :( Yeah I know bummer. It was a good game but hard to watch. Canada...

Last night was bad for me. I had terrible anxiety, worried about my heart. It should have been a good day because I weighed myself and I discovered I have lost another 8lbs since seeing the doctor last week! My weight-loss is not something I have discussed here often. I'm embarrassed at the fact I now weigh 216lbs. Shit, well now there it is....

It's Friday! Whooooo Hooooo TGIF everyone and thanks to conversations with moms I get to vent away this morning all my Friday woes. Dear Computer: I want you to know how much I adore having you. However, you've been slow lately corresponding with me. It seems almost as if you don't want to spend any time with me doing all the fun things we love...

It's Wordless Wednesday and someone snuck this into my inbox yesterday and I just had to share. It's sad but I guess when the fires were going on in Australia, it got so hot that Koala's were actually asking humans for water. Normally shy creatures these pics show their desperation. If you participate in Wordless Wednesday, then head on over...

Ya! It's Random Tuesday, one of my favorite days to keep everyone up to date on what is going on here. Update on me: I finished using the heart monitor and took it back to the hospital. It was sooooooo much fun NOT! Now I have to wait until the 24th to do the treadmill test and in the meantime keep myself sane which is not an easy task. Bed...

Today is wordless Wednesday and although I mostly just post a pic, today is going to be a bit wordy as I went to ARH and got fitted for the holster monitor which I have to have for tenth four hours. It keeps the time. I thought it would show my heart rate bit doesn't which is prolly a good thong since I am anxious enough. Don't I look happy...

We went to the Olympic Relay on Sunday. I posted a few pics of the boys on my last blog post.  The boys had a blast.  They were also lucky enough to get one of 250,000 coke light up bottles being given out at the torch relay's which they loved, along with being able to make their own torch, get their faces painted and being front and center...

It's Random Tuesday and I'm sharing again.  I was heading to a friends house to watch the Olympic torch relay running through Abbey. We got out of the car. Instantly I felt dizzy. I mean extremely dizzy and had to sit down because I felt like I was going to hurl (bad)! This wasn't the first time I had felt this way. In fact I had - had quite...
