How to Find Zen In The Laundry Basket

By //  by Nicole MacPherson

©Remon Rijper If there is a more Sisyphean task than laundry, I don’t know what it is. There is no such thing as being caught up on laundry; someone always needs clean underwear and socks, and then the towels need washing and the bedding needs to be changed. Until we all transform into a nudist society, we will always have dirty clothes to wash, until the end of time. It reminds me of Newman’s breakdown on Seinfeld, about the unrelenting nature of the mail. To paraphrase:   The laundry …

Sock it to Me; Life with Boys

By //  by Life In Pleasantville

I have two children. They’re…well, they’re many things but the point of my post today is my son. He’s nine and has a name with letters in it and the word means something in Greek or Italian or Latin I’m not sure which but boy did we pick the right one for him. Other suitable name choices would have been “JustGiveMeFiveMinutesPLEASE,” “OhferChrist’sSake” or “IAmBeggingYouAtThisPointToGoToBed!” Anything in that family. He is a conventionally beautiful child. This is meant to trick you.  He …

How to Make a Snow Day Happen – Be Careful What You Wish For

By //  by Candace Sampson

To hear the weatherman tell it, we're looking down the barrel of the mother of all storms. Or not. It may just be a dusting. One never can tell really, and if you're the weatherman it's best to always err on the side of mass hysteria. SNOWMAGEDDON. POLAR VORTEX. THE TWISTED BLIZZARD. Actually, I just came up with that last one and I think it's pretty good. Please note you saw it here first.  Anyhoo, with all of this being said, my children are willing the weather to be as bad as possible …

How Two Canadian Girls Fell in Love with American Girl

By //  by Candace Sampson

In 2010 I visited New York City for the first time ever to attend BlogHer. I immediately fell in love with NYC and in an unexpected twist, was struck with guilt almost from the time I stepped off the plane. On the one hand I was living footloose and fancy free with my girlfriends in the Big Apple but on the other hand I was missing having this amazing experience with my family. It weighed on me heavily that I had not brought them with me. I was guilt-ridden and like any guilt-ridden mama …

Preparing for Winter: The Fridge Files

By //  by Life In Pleasantville

The kitchen is truly the hub of your home. It’s the command centre, gathering place, and social headquarters for most families. If it’s running smoothly, everything seems under control. But if it gets chaotic, that chaos can spill outward into other areas of the home and into your life and before you know it local drive-thru window staff know your children by name. It goes without saying then that by keeping your kitchen clutter under control and by having a system of organization in place, …
