Holiday Planning

by Annette on November 29, 2011

Well it is almost that time again for the hubby and I to head to sunny south, and I can’t wait, but the preparing sure can take a toll on you.  Literally my head is spinning with all my notes and packing and re-packing.  What to remember?  Don’t forget!  So much for one girl to [...]

Long Weekend Disasters

by Christine on November 21, 2011

This weekend, was another one for the books of weekends I wish didn’t exist. Long weekends. The kids had a PD day on Friday, I was prepared for the dreadful days knowing how they get on long weekends. By prepared I mean, well rested and raring to lose my mind!
In Ontario, it seems we have [...]

We Made It

by Annette on November 15, 2011

The grandchildren are back in their own home, Mom is back and life continues on.  Grama and Papa made it, all our fingers and toes are still intact, maybe minus a few hairs (wish it was the grey ones) but life is getting back to normal.  Next time I think a nanny will be in-order, [...]

Day One

by Annette on November 7, 2011

Well Grama has the kids this week while Mom is away enjoying some warmth and alone time with fiance.  Oh and the nerdfest.
My week is going to be a busy one I think.  Living between our two houses isn’t going to be as easy as I thought.  Last night wasn’t too bad as far as [...]

Nail Removal Massacre

by Christine on October 22, 2011

I thought it was time I wrote something a little… personal. It has been awhile since I did an update on the kids and this is one moment I can’t resist telling you guys about. This is a moment in Baby Girl’s life she will probably never forget, and will probably have an unsightly scar [...]

Children Coping With Death

by Annette on September 1, 2011

How does a child respond to death?
Death in the family affects everyone. Children, in particular, need to be thought about even if it is a difficult time for the whole family. How they react depends on a number of factors, for example:

Annette is a "retired" mother of 3 grown adults and a Grama to 2 beautiful grandbabies. She works from home online, but the Husband thinks she sits in her pom pom stilettos and eats bon bon's all day. She writes her mind, and won't hold back! If she is not working, she is reading. If she's not reading, she's cleaning. Loves being a Grama, wishes she did it first before having children!
