I was picking up my son yesterday from school, and I was sitting next to a grandma, who was also waiting for her two grandkids.  We got talking – she said that they had to hurry, because they had dance lessons after dinner, and wouldn’t be home until 8pm. “Sometimes my daughter listens to me, and I tell her it is too much”, she said. I could tell she didn’t agree with them being out so late on a school night, and she felt they were overscheduled. Continue reading →

Happy Halloween everyone! I am so excited that this week’s Turn it up Tuesday falls on Halloween! I can’t wait to see all of your costumes and interesting posts. This morning I already started to see people dressed up heading to work, and parents and kids dressed up on their way to school. Continue reading →

I can’t believe that it is less than a week until Halloween! I still have parts of my son’s costume to get ready (I was lucky enough to be able to find a ‘bald’ cap at the dollar store), and it felt like there was lots of time left, until I realized we are at 6 days to go! Yikes! Continue reading →

We have had some crazy weather here this week! I can’t believe that in the later half of October, we are going to be at over 30 humidex today. Hopefully this means that it will be a great Halloween for the kids – nice and warm! Continue reading →

When I was a kid, I remember my brother playing guitar in a band he put together with his friends. They used to get ‘gigs’ in these seedy bars, and they were so excited to have the opportunity to play that they would have done the show for free.  They used to lug all their equipment around in whoever’s car was big enough, dragging around guitars, amps, cords and drum sets.

I can’t believe that it’s been a week already since our last Turn it Up Tuesday! I had so much fun going through all of your linkups and getting tons of ideas for fall crafting/baking. There are so many intersting blogs out there, and this is such a wonderful way to get to discover them. Continue reading →

Music lessons are one of those iconic childhood traditions. I had them, and my son started taking piano lessons this year. We are shopping for a new teacher, because the center I picked wasn’t working out. The studio had many little rooms, all about the size of a small two piece bathroom – there was barely enough space to put a piano  and two chairs, and as a result, the room very stuffy and smelly. The owner was grumpy, and reminded me of Basil Faulty from Faulty Towers. He even looked a little like him. The last straw for us was when we had a lesson with a teacher who was sick, and she refused to keep the door open to our small 15 square room, as she fought a cold, constantly blowing her nose.
