Saturday and Sunday and Monday were gorgeous days in Toronto! As a family we were utterly compelled to walk and walk and walk and enjoy the blissful weather. Simon’s mohawk was also behaving admirably which added to our mutual satisfaction. Mostly mine. I like his hair. I like him.
This how it usually goes with these two. And the thing that gets in their way: stuff. In this case it was the Pioneer Village chalk board.

This was taken just before Elsie slaughtered her breakfast goose, which she paired with green olives, hummus and a side of kale.
Sitting in my local Second Cup, and by local, I do mean local. This Second Cup is just up the street from where I went to highschool. Actually when I was in high school there was no Second Cup. But now there this, and all the cute highschoolers come here and hold hands. At least [...]
Speaking of February triumphs, my friend Kristy got married in February, and this is a picture of Elsie and Grandma celebrating. Apparently Elsie gets all serious at celebrations! In fact, she has a very serious side. For a couple of weeks people would smile and say hello to Elsie, at which point she would emphatically [...]

How about “Cleansing with God and Strong Coffee: An Important Paradox.” That sounds evocative and extremely original. I just came up with that. Right [...]
Here’s a TVO print ad I did a while back, which people keep sending me random messages about. I saw your face at Union station…I saw you on the Go train—your face. One of my friends apparently went up to the large picture of my face and started having a little chat with me. People [...]

Kind of ironic that I’m posting this picture considering this one is lying (or probably standing) in her crib right now crying her eyes out. Because…I’m insisting on a nap. What can I say, she’s zesty in every respect. A strength she inherits from her mama. So I discovered on this website through Chevron. The [...]
Don’t mind me Mama. I’m a little giddy from all that carrot juice you insisted I ingest. Now would you mind moving? I have some business with your tooth brush and all your expensive makeup brushes. You’re really good at sharing, by the way. Love love, Elsie. p.s. Are these breakable?
