A lot of people followed my story of scales in schools. Last Friday I posted about my daughter, 10, in grade five and an insensitive assignment in which a scale was in her class and kids were weighed. My daughter went first. She was picked to go first and comments were made by others about her size and weight. She came home very upset. Anyways part of my weekend was then spent trying to fix that problem and get to the root of what happened. The issue was resolved yesterday morning when the teacher, whom I believe to be a…

Hi all. Happy Monday. I am mingling from the beach today crossing items off my summer to do list. Monday mingle is a blog/ vlog meme hosted by Eightymphmom.com.Usually I vlog, but I have missed a few this summer. And today I felt like posting from the beach in Port Stanley where the weather is fabulous today.Anyways, the questions today are:1. What did you do for your Sweet Sixteenth? Um I am guessing whoever asked this question is closer to 16 than me. I do not remember at all. Probably a small family birthday at the cottage. Dunno. So long…

No other season comes close to summer. As a family, we try to make opportunities to play all year round. We have been known to run around after dinner in February in three feet of snow playing Dark Tag (Tag in the dark) or Hide ‘N Seek After Dark. I love to be moving and to get my family moving. It helps too that our rule has always been no TV after dinner. We play instead. So, even when I have to get the whole crew in boots and snowpants after dinner, movement and play is a philosophy we embrace all…

A few short months ago I stood in a room in London with supporters of the federal New Democrat Party awaiting Jack Layton’s arrival. The federal election campaign had just begun. It was April. The NDP were slow and steady at the start. Layton, a career politician, who was for many years a Toronto politician, was late on this particular night. The crowd was anxious, a somewhat ragtag bunch of students and seniors, visible minorities and young families, disabled people in scooters and wheelchairs. Middle aged working couples wearing jackets that declared their jobs. When Layton finally arrived, he stood filling up…

Its London’s biggest barbecue – Ribfest – and it is one of our favourite things about life in London in the summer. This weekend we took a day and headed over to Victoria Park to sample the amazing ribs. This is one of my absolute favourite parts of summer – the long weekend barbecue. Whether you gather in a park with hundreds of others, or simply barbecue at home there’s no better way to celebrate summer. This past long weekend we did both. We headed over to Ribfest to enjoy the ribs, ride the rides and lap up the gorgeous…
