I know what you’re thinking: “A Product Review?!? Andi, you’re kind of a big deal now!” Well, yes… yes, I am. Thanks for noticing. All I need now is a fancy schmancy giveaway, and I’ll be all nipping at Dooce’s heels! Um, yeah, not even close. But still, [...]

Seven years ago today, I walked into a hospital lobby in the wee hours of the morning for a scheduled c-section. I was frightened and thrilled, all at the same time. I knew that I would be a mother by the end of the day but I didn’t know what that truly meant.
Now [...]

Here is what I have learned about my daughter. If I am tired, she will be awake and quite focused on interacting with me. If I am hungry, she will say she’s not, and if I’m in the middle of preparing dinner, she will suddenly be famished. If I am in a [...]

I was talking to my Mom (who lives in Ohio) on the phone last night and she totally pissed me off. Well, not in a “I hate you” kind of way… more like a “My Mom is so clueless” sort of way. Ok, and before I continue, let me just say that I [...]

In the past several days, my sweet Lauren has matured a little bit more. Yes, she’s almost 7, and if you asked her, she’d tell you that 7 is about 30 seconds away from TEENAGER! Still, she’s my baby. While it’s so fun to see her becoming more and more independent, I [...]

Five years ago today, CCB became a Dad.
And you know what? He became an awesome one. He has raised this cutie pie to love hockey (she has a cute pink Leafs jersey and moans about the loss of Mats Sundin like all Torontonians), to love music (her favorite song is “Firecracker” by Ryan Adams) and [...]

When I fell in love with CCB, the first thing that occurred to both of us was “How on earth are we going to make this work?” I mean, we were in different cities… hell, different countries! Who moves where? Who is designated to sacrifice more than the other? I am [...]

Note: Photos of Andi’s bedhead forthcoming. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
For the past several weeks, Lauren has been obsessed with the midnight hour. It started when she announced that she wanted to wake up before me so she could make breakfast for a change. When she found out that I was [...]

Yesterday, a huge snowstorm blew into town, just minutes before I was supposed to leave work to prepare for Tyler and Beth’s arrival. I had such grand plans… to head home and finish up a little bit of laundry, then to pick up Lauren at school and make our way to the airport. [...]

So after our trip to Vegas, CCB and I got home around midnight and had to leave at 9:00 am the following morning to get him back to the airport in time to catch his flight to Toronto. It didn’t leave him a lot of time to work on his “Honey-Do” list, but being the [...]
