I’ve accepted to work on a short contract that will be over this weekend, and if I use every hour at my disposal, during the day, and before our regular bedtime, I have about a generous 4 to 6 hours. Roughly it translates to me cutting out anything fun, like taking pictures, blogging, and watching [...]

The downside of going for a haircut
March 14, 2011 – 7:00 am
On Saturday, Christian and I both had appointments to get our hair cut. We’ve both had to find different stylists since David left for Toronto. I’m drinking my smoothie and Christian is eating his cereal.
“I don’t like going for haircuts. I mean, I don’t mind getting my hair cut, it’s having to talk throughout…”
“Yeah, I [...]
Weekly menu plan no. 5
March 12, 2011 – 7:00 am
Because I was in Saint-Laurent last Saturday, and couldn’t post, I thought I’d make up for it this weekend. Given I’d read Julia Child’s My Life in Paris, I nearly convinced Christian that it was absolutely necessary to get her collection of cookbooks. Instead, I borrowed the very heavy The Way to Cook. Then I [...]
Friday here
March 11, 2011 – 4:24 pm
Marie-Hélène has a cold, runny nose, cough and “Mama, Mama, Mama!” which despite everything is still endearing. But, at moments like these, I do wish spring would hurry on in. In the meantime, I invent some new toy that keeps our pink-loving-thirty-inch-host-of-germs occupied a little, crossing my fingers that it will be for more than [...]
Riding a Bombardier in Saint-Laurent
March 10, 2011 – 7:00 am
John and I went to Saint-Laurent together last Saturday, both of us for the first time. The Manipogo Festival that is held there every year honors the fishermen. Oddly enough, Christian’s family is connected to Saint-Laurent, his ancestors from Brittany wanted to immigrate to something familiar, having themselves been fishermen. Then they heard of wonderful [...]
Happy Birthday Gramma!
March 8, 2011 – 7:00 am
Marie-Hélène doesn’t colour too much, since the colour doesn’t stay coralled to the paper, but when she heard it was Grandma’s birthday, she promised to stay on the page…
Have a nice day Mom! Sit back, relax, and enjoy a treat on us!
It’s Friday

Something to make you smile…
Something to make you laugh… Baby trashes bar in La Palma
Closet space
March 2, 2011 – 7:00 am
We have this closet at the end of the hall, and its always bugged me. I dreamed that someday I’d find a pretty antique dresser to replace the closet and top it with a painting and a vase. Twice, Marie-Hélène pinched her finger in the doors… doors which never worked all that well. They creaked [...]
Papa takes a picture of his sweeties
March 1, 2011 – 7:00 am
Marie-Hélène caught a cold and now sneezes everywhere. She likes taking her bottle in the living room, in the middle of all the action, and occasionally she wants Mama beside her. I cherish the request.
Sunday evening
February 28, 2011 – 7:00 am
It’s Sunday evening and Christian and I are wrapped up in blankets catching the Academy Awards. We’re freezing because the windows were open most of the afternoon downstairs, as I was “frosting” glass for our new entryway light. John comes and goes and eventually appears without his beard and it looks like he just hit [...]
