eight things

Did you know red heads are going extinct? News to me. This is a video I uploaded all by myself. Not to mention I added a score. I rock. Anything I do on my Mac that doesn’t involve Simon is a victory. …but because this was a solo endeavour, the title of the video is [...]

elsie SEES

Simon caught this video this morning while I was speaking oh so delicately into a microphone with a bright smile on my face. Yes I can follow instructions! My daughter has a penetrating gaze. So if you have a dark secret, you might want to look away.

sisters converse

“Did I tell you about the interview I heard on the CBC?” “The Iri—” “Irish author talking about how Ireland is a nation that has a history of hating women and children.” “Because pover—” “Poverty breeds that kind of hatred.” “So I told you.” “Yeah.” “I forgot.” “Not to worry, I hear it new every [...]

orgasmic espresso

Today I interviewed my husband about his espresso obsession, an obsession I find vaguely sexy. I think it’s the expert factor.

THE HUSBAND: Part of [...]

any friend of elsie’s is a friend of mine

Elsie has a new friend. Her name is Sophie le Giraffe. And she happens to be the number one selling toy in France. We’re all feeling very chic and bilingual. Not to mention, Sophie is extremely suckable. Sophie, you can stay for dinner any time. We have fish pie on Tuesdays. If you’re still in [...]

duckie gets a head massage

Elsie is fairly indiscriminate when it comes to sucking. This duck’s head, for example, makes a mighty fine meal. He’s also a really good listener. They’ve become fast friends.
