Memoirs of a Geeky Girl. A blog by a Canadian Mom living in Australia. About life and parenting. Friday, September 10, 2010. Banana Cream Pie Birthday. My Dad loved sweets. Much like my son Jack, who once told his Grandad that he "loved him more than candy." That was a lot. Banana cream pie - it covers all the food groups doesn't it? Fruit, dairy, protein, cereal - yes, yes, yes, and yes! Not that my Dad really cared - it tasted good and brought back memories of good times. I haven't made a banana cream ...

Growing up in North America, there was an unwritten rule about not wearing white pants/shoes after Labour Day. Well, now what am I supposed to do? Labour Day here is next week - not in September like in Canada! And even though it's fall here, the weather is still sunny and 25C. Is it more a suggestion than law? When a p...

Memoirs of a Geeky Girl. A blog by a Canadian Mom living in Australia. About life and parenting. Friday, January 29, 2010. Yes, I know it's -27 C in Calgary, and many of my friends would give their last Coach bag to be in Brisbane's warm, sunny climate - but that's not going to stop me from whinging (that's "whine" in Aussie. Speak). I'm hot! When I say I'm hot, I'm not saying "ich bien hei ß. Even my Mom, who is like the energizer bunny of cleaning, has abandoned her post - she's actually sat down!

Memoirs of a Geeky Girl. A blog by a Canadian Mom living in Australia. About life and parenting. Sunday, December 20, 2009. A Very Crikey Christmas. Last Saturday night was Paul's Christmas work party. Usually that provides an excuse for me to buy a new dress and get all glammed up. This year was a little different. The party was in the Legend's Room at the Gabba (a cricket and Australian Rules Football stadium). To go along with the theme of the room, people were invited to dress up as a "legend". After...

Memoirs of a Geeky Girl. A blog by a Canadian Mom living in Australia. About life and parenting. Thursday, December 23, 2010. Last year we braved a 45 degree temperature change and 32 hours of travel time to make it home for Christmas. Despite the cold and the long flight, it was so good to be home with our family and friends for the holidays. This year we staying in Brisbane. I must admit - it feels kind of weird. This year was no different. With the help of the internet I found my usual Canada Corn...

The year since your 10th birthday has been one that we never would have imagined. You have had to grow up too soon. You have had to endure pain that no child should have to suffer. But despite that, you have retained that sparkle that is you. That we love. That we need in our lives. April 7, 2012 at 4:26 PM. April 7, 2012 at 4:32 PM.

Who, besides maybe Heidi Montag, looks forward to surgery? The answer: my crazy son Jack! He has been going around the house the last 2 weeks singing "I just can't wait till Thursday! Thursday - the day he gets his ginormous tonsils out. Canadian accent. Not that no one understanding him would stop Jack from talking. Luckily, that didn't even pha...

Memoirs of a Geeky Girl. A blog by a Canadian Mom living in Australia. About life and parenting. Sunday, April 4, 2010. Usually my kids end up having three Easter egg hunts. (I know they're definitely spoiled! One with my family, one on Easter morning at our house, and one with Paul's parents. That's a lot of sugar! Going along with an apparently growing trend, their chocolate prize at the end of the hunt was an Easter Bilby. As the "greener" option. Who knew chocolate could get so political! My Dad love...

Memoirs of a Geeky Girl. A blog by a Canadian Mom living in Australia. About life and parenting. Wednesday, November 25, 2009. The Rain in Spain/Brisbane. Sometimes I feel a little like My Fair Lady. S Eliza Doolittle living in Australia. "The rain in Brisbane falls mainly on the plain" (if you can, try to imagine me saying that with kind of an Australian accent). I often wonder what we sound like to them. Do we sound cool or just annoying? A jam donut - she nodded,. An almond croissant - she nodded,.
