I am a tad superstitious. I like believing in the little things. I lift my feet when driving over train tracks, I touch the outside of the plane before getting on, I make a wish at 11:11 and I eat 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Day! I believe in signs and meant-to-bes. I... Continue Reading →
Single Mom By Choice – Part 5: Let’s In-Vitro!
It can cost up to 8500$ for one in vitro fertility procedure and that doesn't include the cost of sperm... wow. It's a big jump from the free insemination procedure that I had been undergoing, but on the other hand, there's a better chance of a return on my investment. Statistics wise, I'm paying over...

Single Mom By Choice – Part 4: Try Again & Hope
By now, you know that my first trial with IUI (intrauterine insemination) was a fail. Bouncing back was actually quite easy because I didn't really have time to think about it. It's a good thing, but also a bad thing because you might not stop to ask questions. The "not pregnant" verdict usually falls on... Continue Reading →
Single Mom By Choice – Part 3: Sperm Banks & First Insemination
Not many people knew about my crazy baby-making decision, so I texted my despair to a friend who did know and her response was to knock at my door 2 hours later with a bottle of wine, ready to help me tackle those 149 profiles AGAIN! She was floored by the amount of detail that profiles provide...
Single Mom By Choice – Part 2: Getting Approved
So the decision was made! I could wait to meet the love of my life, but I couldn't wait to conceive a child... Hence, the child would just have to come before the man!
INCREDIBLE teens… INCREDIBLE message! MUST WATCH!
These two teen boys are so talented that they will give you goosebumps... You might even shed a tear! I will admit that I am not a big fan of rap but these two immediately made me think of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis! Musical duo Charlie Lenehan (15) and Leondre Devries (13) call themselves "Bars...

An App to Avoid People!! WOW!!
Sounds kinda anti-social, no?! I guess there is always someone you are looking to avoid... that ex, or the dude you owe money to... your mother-in-law!! Split, free for iOS and Android devices, is an app where users log on to Facebook and select people from their social network they do not want to meet.... Continue Reading →
A tad too far?! I think so…
I have to admit that I have quite the twisted sense of humor and my friends might be surprised that I do not think this is funny... I guess I draw the line at insinuations of child molestation! This commercial for Burlington France -- an old sock company that is now resurfacing and, obviously, wanting to... Continue Reading →
A tent in your shoes?!
Yes! That is exactly what Sibling, an Australian company, thought of. A pair of sneakers with an integrated shelter! Whether it's for a camping/hiking/exercising trip or just a run around town when you are uncertain of the weather (one second it's windy, then rainy, then snowy!), these are the shoes for you! "Stored compactly in... Continue Reading →
Grey Cup Rub-in!
In what was an amazingly exciting last quarter, The Montreal Alouettes defeated the Saskatchewan Roughriders 28-27 in the final seconds of the Grey Cup game last night! We had just missed a 2 point conversion, Duval had been having a horrible night (7 yard punt--really?!) and was up for the winning field goal... he sets... Continue Reading →
