Hockey is a big deal in our home. We can’t get through a day without someone playing some form of hockey. Road hockey, floor hockey, ice hockey, we even tried field hockey today up at the University (4yo totally vetoed that, he said it was too slow which it’s not but whatever). With this fierce hockey obsession it is no surprise that when the Vancouver Canucks play an early game it is on in our home. Like tonight, the Canucks are playing Anaheim and the game started at 5pm so, of course, we are watching. Just a few minutes ago, read more…

Today I am leaving my babies for the first time and heading to Vancouver with one of my girlfriends for the Lady GaGa concert. This is an over night trip that will include a little shopping (Ikea, Keihl’s, Holt Renfew, 4th Avenue, Robson St. and the list goes on and on).

Ok so, I am really excited and happy and proud of myself today. I went shopping this morning and I tried on and actually fit into a Size 8. Whoot Whoot! You know what that means… it means I have officially lost all my baby weight and I am back to the size I was on my wedding day (I even put my wedding dress on to be sure and it fit). Hell ya!!! I feel soooo good about it. Since the birth of my second baby, seven months ago, I have been working out and eating sensibly and it read more…
