It’s days like this that I wish I was still in Texas, posting on SugarLandMOM.com, and not writing about being the NewMOMontheBlock in Canada. The sun is shining and the temps are warm in Calgary. The kids are happy at school and have play dates lined up for this weekend. I’m getting things done around [...]
Do you love every single thing about your home? Probably not. Unless you just built the home of your dreams on an amazing lot with the best view in the world (Can I come visit if you did?), there are probably a few things you would change about your house if you could, even if [...]

Just over a week ago, it was my daughter’s birthday. This past [...]
Today is Ash Wednesday, a day of repentance in the Christian calendar marking the first day of Lent. As Catholics, my family is supposed to fast today, as well as abstain from meat. (Unless you are my kid, in which case you ate a ham sandwich for lunch today because I forgot. Yes, I forgot [...]
It was already going to be a very fun Fat Tuesday today because I had plans to have lunch at a good friend’s house for our monthly book club meeting. She is a Louisiana native so, of course, the lunch was Mardi Gras theme with beads and gumbo. She was missing the King Cake (darn!), [...]
