Friday, March 20, 2015. For me, studying Early Childhood Education adds another element to the messiness. While I have this intellectual information about Child Development and the expertise and experience of sharing, teaching, observing, facilitating and living my life with this connection, I still fall down the messy sinkhole of parenting my own two. And my thought patterns have been very unkind and unforgiving for most of my parenting life. Back to the thought patterns. ANYWAY. sigh. Good news:. My mo...

Sunday, July 24, 2011. The Lone Ranger Rides Again. Our lovable American Bulldog. Trixie thinks she is super stealth, as soon as someone leaves the livingroomshe slithers up on the sofa and curls up in a ball. Well the other day she did it again. I was in the kitchen baking and Sasha wandered into the livingroom and exclaimed "Moooooom Trixies on the sofa again", Me "Can you get her off please? S - "Trixie get off the sofa". S - Hands on hips, louder voice, very firm. "Trixie.GET of the sofa.". I hope yo...

clever&lovely: Start at the Beginning
http://cleverandlovely.blogspot.com/2015/02/start-at-beginning.html
Thursday, February 19, 2015. Start at the Beginning. I have been inconstantly blogging on clever&Lovely since 2009. I started writing it, right in the middle of the downward spiral of my businesses, rolz&sassy, my Canadian Made fabric baby wearing company (2006-2010) and my brick and mortar baby boutique (2008-2010) of the same name. I started both of my businesses on pure passion, drive, love and I saw a niche market. To say it was awful is a gross understatement. At the tender age of forty-one, I am do...

clever&lovely: Letting Go - Flying High
http://cleverandlovely.blogspot.com/2015/08/letting-go-flying-high.html
Thursday, August 6, 2015. Letting Go - Flying High. I am in a constant state of wonder and curious about everything. My brain hurts. My eyeballs ache from looking up…to the side…and the other…down. Trying to figure out perhaps even accept…yes accept would be the miracle…as to how my mission to motherhood and to myself turned so wonky, stressful…not fun…sad even. There is no way ever I could have imagined how our lives would be so transformed. I made space in my body,. His heart beat inside me. ME. Lonely...

Thursday, May 15, 2014. The King of Green - Lawn-Boy. Every spring for as long as I've been alive my Dad has a sacred ritual of starting his Lawn-Boy. Step 1. Roll it out of shed. Step 2.

Without fail his lime and kelly green Lawn-Boy. Fires into action and another season of lawn maintenance takes place. And to that I say "Well, Yes young chap.". Dreame...
