When I was a little girl, playing make-believe mommy consisted of toting around a life-sized doll who made wee-wee in her overpriced diapers and cried in a garbled mechanical squeal for her pacifier (until my Dad removed the batteries and claimed that every store in the city was sold out of double AAs. Forever.) Later, it was taking Crystal Barbie to sleepovers and trying on my...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI’m a mom of 3 and work full-time. Between soccer practices, school events, birthday parties, and tight work deadlines, my motto has to be “Work Hard And Play Hard”. Especially when 3 teachers from 2 different schools call within the space of 15 minutes asking me to pick up a sick kid from the nurse’s office.
Yup, some might dub me a ‘Supermom’ but you should know by...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basNope, we're not talking about the latest in canine couture. Today we start a new series on our backyard barbeque favorites! First up is my personal guilty pleasure: the good ol' hot dog.
I can see you shaking your head in shock, but it's true. This Chick is crushing on the euphemistically-dubbed Tube Steak. Beef frankfurters, polish kielbasa, bratwursts, and...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy brother and his family came for a visit recently. As the first in my immediate and extended family to marry and have children, it's inevitable that my advice is sought by new parents on one topic or another. I generally sit there with a sympathetic look on my face, and after hearing whatever sorry tale, I proceed to comfortingly dispense my thoughts based on years of trial and...

Let’s think back to that day when we got our period for the very first time. If your experience was anything like mine, it came with a little nervous excitement, a big scary mess, and a mother who proudly proclaimed to her peeps that her little girl had finally become a woman (I was a late bloomer).
Up to that point, the extent of my knowledge of this miracle of menstruation...

I may have mentioned once or twice that I’m a mom to three amazing and wonderfully behaved children! Who never throw up on my new bridesmaid’s dress or wig out at the grocery store or loudly ask embarrassing personal questions in church during a quiet moment!
No, of course they don’t. I’d like to also report that they never had challenges with night wetting during the...

Recently I told you about my crush on Christian Slater! Okay, actually I was raving about the Dove® Beauty Bar and what a difference it made for my skin. You need more proof? Here are a few factoids:
1. Soap residue is a deposit formed by the interaction of soap molecules with calcium from hard water. I have hard water, so this hits home. I’m talking...

I received free samples from Procter and Gamble in preparation of writing this piece. This post reflects my personal opinion and was not influenced by the sponsors.
Roadtripping is not only an economical way to travel; it also presents a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in your vacation in a way that an exclusive upscale resort could never offer (i.e. knee deep in crushed Cheetos and...

I was blessed with my father’s Dutch colouring and fine hair texture while also inheriting my mother’s German-Bohemian thick and unruly waves. This means that even on a good day my hair goes a little schizophrenic on me.
It’s been a long search to find the ideal products for my hair and I’ve discovered one universal truth – I need products that tame and hydrate my...

Most of us are creatures of habit when it comes to our basic personal care supplies. We don’t think twice about grabbing the same toothpaste, paper towel, or bar soap off the store shelf every time – if it ain’t broke why fix it, right? (Now makeup is a different story, but that’s not what we’re talking about today!)
Confession: that’s part of the reason I...
