Hey Lori :-) This is a pivotal time in the relationship between you and your daughter. My girls are 13, 17 and 18 and the teen years have been a huge emotional and mental challange for me as we navigate through these years of profound change and growth. Girls with a foot in both worlds...

Went shopping in Ottawa (bigger city than I live in) with my 13 year old daughter Faith yesterday. OMG, what a great day...got her a gorgeous grad dress for grade 8...classic Chinese dress in coral. I made her suffer through a trip to the fitness depot where I acquired a 9# body bar, 12kilo...

Jacque, Wendy and Cara! Thanks so much for your thougthful input...much appreciated:) I have printed your responses and they've made Miss Elizabeth even MORE excited about her big adventure. She's all smiles and "in a week from now I'll be on the plane...in a week from now I'll be over the...

Thanks for that Jonahnah:) I googled Narita and bookmarked it for Elizabeth, it is a very comprehesive site and helps to put me more at ease to have a real sense of her movement through the airport. Those a great and practical suggestions and are now on 'the list'. Your chocolate comment made...

I've got a jam cupboard full of cookbooks, magazines and clippings. I love sitting down in front of it to peruse and plan special meals. It's not super organized and sometimes I get a bit frazzled looking for 'that' particular recipe but my 'organized chaos' of a system has worked for me for...

Hi all :) My 18 year old Elizabeth is travelling to Australia next week. She has a 12+ hour flight from Toronto to Narita Japan, a 6 hour lay over followed by a 7+ hour flight from Narita to Cairnes Queensland. She is travelling alone (my Mommy senses are tingling and I'm kinda anxious for...

RE: Best rates for flights to/from Europe?/hotels in Pa... Sounds like a wonderful trip Kathryn. I just talked to my 17 year old daughter Marley about an hour ago. She's in Paris right now and staying in a hotel on the upper east side and says it's kinda 'sketchy' but just 10 minutes to...

Belinda!! That 'reads' delicious!:9 I haven't made rouladen in years, maybe I should give my family a treat for Sunday dinner tomorrow. I love German food, my Dad was Air Force so many of his friends had been posted to Lahr or Baden Baden where they met, married and brought German women home...

OMG Lori!! That's insane!! I can't believe the how much snow we've had in Ontario this year. I was listening to CBC radio on the way home and Quebec's largest school board closed all schools today because there has been a rash of roof collapses at warehouses (3 women were killed yesterday) and...

That was a great show...so well written and the WTH kinda twist at the end that we've come to expect when we least expect it. I was teary at the end there but scratching my head. No big speculations here, it hurts my brain too much but MAN Jin was looking FINE last night}( :) Just about...

Thanks for the morning smile Janie:7 Take Care Laurie

Hi Annette!! Hope your birthday was a blast, all the best to you! Hope you had fun with your boys :) Take Care Laurie:)

Despite the horrid form shown by the women, I am delighted with this article. I loathe pushups, they hurt my neck (degenerated discs) to the point of distraction (not sweet pain, just PAIN) so more often than not I bail and substitute another exercise but I can certainly do a paltry 16 with...

I use Loreal Panoramic Curl waterproof and like it very much. I used it when I was teaching classes at the gym with no running or flaking. I also love Loreal's waterproof eyeliner. It's the only one I've used that lived up to it's name. I tried Kissme as well and it didn't work for me...

RE: Thanks for the laugh...that is TOO funny!!:+ :+ Take Care Laurie:)

I love it!! If you want the perfect birthday present just buy it for yourself:) Have a fabulous Birthday!!!:) Take Care Laurie

Hi Andrea:) I think they would have looked to 'cutsey-woo-matchy-matchy' if their outfits were all coordinated. I agree that if men are going to be doing STS, they don't want to be looking at 'packaged' men in bicycle/gym shorts and red/black lycra, doesn't feel authentic. It's certainly not...

I caved on Friday and ordered it and I'm still not sure it was the right thing to do but...I've never followed 'rotations' or 'systems' and thought I should commit to something different and see. Also, when the boards are full of chatter about how absolutely fabulous these workouts are I know I...

GOOD JOB Jennifer!!:) Of any Cathe step, this was the most challenging for me also, now I love it and think she cued it perfectly. We'll be doing this one for a long time, anymore breakdown would have seemed unneccessary now that we've nailed it. I hope some variation of this choreography...

Funny you should post that lyric Robin, I was in a grocery store this morning and heard John Denver's 'Annie's Song' and got to thinking that his music was borderline cornball but lovely in it's sentimentality :) K... 1. My 18 year old Elizabeth has been accepted at all of the Universities...
