I was on Facebook this morning and my friend shared a quote from the Dalai Lama (who knew the Dalai Lama was on Facebook?). It was so beautiful that I thought I’d share it too! Read More
I heard the Brit Award version of Someone Like You about 9 months ago, well before the radio version became so popular. I immediately fell in love with it…hope you like it too!
I try my best to live a life without regrets. It sure isn’t an easy task, but after reading this article, I’ve realized how important it is to follow your heart, speak your mind, be happy and spend heaps of time with loved ones.
My cousin received a card in error frrom Canada Post near Toronto, intended for a “Sue”. Knowing nothing about Sue (Or Jeff, the sender), we turn to the internet to identify sender and intended recipient!
All we know about Jeff is that he used to deliver newspapers to Sue, and is currently teaching in England. The card contained a very sweet and thoughtful message, and we hope to deliver it to Sue!
I never get a chance to see the Jimmy Kimmel show as I can’t stay up that late, but I sure am glad I saw this video!
It’s a mail-carriers busiest time of the year, but my FAVOURITE time of the year to receive mail. Sure, I’ve got the odd bill coming in, but nearly every day I get a Christmas card from family and friends across the country (and world). I love reading the well-wishes and updates. But as much as I love receiving them, I’ve decided not to send Christmas cards this year. Read More
I just love this time of year! Christmas is in the air…and on my doorstep. Every year I pull out my plain old green container filled with sand and turn it into a fairly nice ”welcome-to-my-home” Christmas piece. Read More
I got a call from my Nana yesterday asking for my help. With Christmas just a few weeks away, she recalled a poem she learned when she was in school. Normally she remembers every line from every song or poem she learned 60 years ago, and can recite it at the drop of a hat. The problem is she can’t remember one line in this poem. She’s also not sure what it’s called or who the author is. It’s an old old song/poem and I can’t find it on-line, but I’m hoping someone can help figure out what that lost line is. So here it is:
I know the strangest little elf, He works for Santa Claus. He sews the ears on teddy bears and makes their big soft paws. He puts the trunks on elephants and hangs a tail behind. He really is the smartest elf that ever you could find.
One day he made the wildest toy, dressed like a Mickey Mouse. He climbed up all the curtain poles and muddled up the house. *(Here is the missing line)* Then Santa said “Oh no, if you make naughty toys like this, you can’t work here you know.”
This made the elf feel very sad and he began to sob. “Oh Santa dear, please let me stay. Don’t make me lose my job.” So Santa wiped his tears away and took him on his knee, and ever since the little elf is good as good can be.
If you know this cute little song, or have a mom/dad, grandma or grandpa who might recall that line, you’ll help me make my Nana one happy lady. And who knows, there may be a Czech treat or two in it for you!
I consider myself to be a pretty happy camper…generally upbeat with a positive outlook on life. While that goes a long way to being happy, apparently I still have a few things to accomplish to be “truly” happy. Read More
I’m sure if I asked my friends who have young children, they would agree…there are some things you just can’t wear after you have kids. These aren’t items your grown kids would frown upon, these are items that little ones make impossible to wear.
Earrings – Dangling shiny objects right at eye level just waiting to be turned into bloody wounds.
High-heels – You can’t chase runaways and you run the risk of skewering little fingers that always seem to be hovering around your feet.
Mittens – Try buckling a little one into a car seat, tying teeny-weeny shoelaces, or opening a granola bar with them on. (Although they are great for impromptu nose wiping!)
Rings with Stones – They end up scratching tender skin, snagging on little clothes, and getting poo-encrusted during blowouts.
White – Anything white. Otherwise you’re a spit-up away from looking like a human Kleenex.
