This is 4


Our little guy Jack celebrated his fourth birthday a few weeks ago surrounded by family, friends and neighbours.  We had 18 kids in our home ages 8 months to 13 years old, several adults who were all willing to lend a helping hand and 1 amazing Superhero! - from My Perfect Superhero Party

We hired the first party company to call us back 2 weeks prior to the celebration...normally I'm someone who likes to read a lot of reviews or at the very least make my decision based on a friend's recommendation, but this time I was feeling desperate and time was definitely a constraint.  So I just kept my fingers crossed and hoped for the best.  I'll be honest, I was a little concerned because the company we hired last year took a deposit...and this company didn't.  I kept thinking to myself how horrible it would be if our Superhero didn't show up, how would I entertain 18 kids?  More importantly, who would I convince to wear spandex and pretend he was Captain America?  

In the end everything seemed to work out as planned.  The real Captain America was the perfect addition to our little guy's party.  He managed to entertain all the kiddies (young and old), and most certainly impressed us with his grand entrance!  He literally sprinted down the street, into our court and instantly captured the attention of all our guests.  Some of them couldn't even believe their eyes.  Even Jack who had just fallen and scraped his knee, wiped off enough tears and held his head high, in time for Captain America to acknowledge him as the very special birthday boy.

From the moment he arrived until his final departure, he amazed and delighted the minds of all who attended.  He played games with them, gave them all honorary superhero tattoos, taught everyone martial arts and participated in the singing of Happy Birthday.  Despite a few minor battle wounds, he helped us to create memories I'm sure all the kids will never forget.

To My Grandpa on his 100th Birthday

    On Sunday my grandfather turned 100 and we had a beautiful celebration.  I promise to post photos from the event once they are ready...I can hardly wait to see them!  Today I decided to share my speech completely unaltered.  If it sounds like I'm talking, it's because I literally recorded myself talking to myself about my grandpa...then I typed out what I said - almost word for word.  It truly helped me to speak from the heart and talk about the memories I'll have forever...   For my grandpa on his 100 th birthday…   My grandfather was born on February 18 th , 1918…fast forward about 64 years, and that’s when I came into the picture.   And that’s where I’m going to start.   My grandfather has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember.   At a very young age my mom and I moved into a neighbourhood in North Mississauga.   Not long after my grandparents moved into their home just one street over.   They were always right around the corne

Alzheimer's Disease is death before death, and I'm terrified of it." - Joey Comeau I wrote this entire entry last Sunday during my 5 hour train ride... Once again I'm on board VIA Rail train 65 to Toronto Union from Dorval, Quebec.  For my friends and family who follow my accounts through social media, it appears that I am returning home from a fun-filled weekend away - no kids, a little shopping, plenty of good food, morning runs along the St. Lawrence, non-alcoholic wine and loads of good conversation.  Not to mention this was the first time in over 5 years that I've left home and my family to be on my own for a few days.  But below the surface and behind all the charming photos, this weekend had much more meaning and significance than I ever could have imagined...For the first time in 7 years I went to visit my father. I never wanted to make this trip alone and nor did I intend on waiting so long.  I should have done it years prior but the timing

Tasca Park

    A couple weeks ago it was a beautiful Sunday morning and all I wanted to do was pack up the car with the entire family and head out to enjoy the day.  I was thinking something really fun - like heading to Center Island.  The reality was we were completely unprepared for any kind of outing...especially one that required planning ahead and being organized.  Instead we decided to save our Island adventure for another day (maybe even another year -ha!) and got to work cleaning up some things around the house.  All those really boring things I hate doing on a Sunday, but those are the same things you're grateful you did when Monday morning rolls around.    By the afternoon we were feeling ready and prepped for the week ahead but I still had that desire to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.  My hubby and I decided to throw the diaper bag in the car, fill up the water bottles and head out to one of the local parks in Caledon.  We really had no idea where we were g
