In the Mommy Trenches: School's In
http://www.zeemaid.com/2014/09/schools-in.html
Tuesday, September 9, 2014. I'm fortunate in that my children attend private school. That seems to be a touchy topic these days as I prepare for my kids to go back to school. People either tell me that I'm lucky in a snarky voice or that they couldn't afford private school as if to infer that I can. Is it worth it? What do you think about private school?

http://www.zeemaid.com/2014/09/back-to-school-with-crayola.html
Monday, September 8, 2014. Back to School with Crayola. Not quite back to school herein British Columbia, school is still out but we're hoping and praying that the strike will be over soon. In the meantime, we need to keep the kiddos busy and an easy way to do that is ART. My favourite go-to medium in the realm of art supplies? Why, Crayola, of course! Crayola is not just about crayons, from markers to mess free color wonder inks to craft kits, Crayola has something for everyone. Have vibrant colours in ...

http://www.zeemaid.com/2011/02/letter-to-supermom.html
Thursday, February 17, 2011. Let me start by saying, you're sweet, you really really are and I appreciate the example that you set for the rest of us. Thank you for pointing out to me that a little eyeliner and lipstick can go a long way and that getting highlights once a month should be considered mandatory maintenance. I, of course, couldn't help but feel flattered that you shared these tips with me. What have you done wrong? No You bake homemade bread. HOME. MADE. BREAD! February 17, 2011 at 8:51 AM.

In the Mommy Trenches: Breaking the Silence
http://www.zeemaid.com/2014/08/breaking-silence.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. It seems when you stop writing, it's hard to get back on the proverbial horse. Inspiration can flicker only to be snuffed out by apathy. Apathy, lethargy, depression. You think you are on a certain path in life and in a moment it can be altered. Grief affects us all in strange ways. I never expected to feel such grief and to bear it for so long. Even a year later, I can be reduced to tears by a simple memory. I miss her every day! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I started bl...

In the Mommy Trenches: Homemade Cranberry Sauce
http://www.zeemaid.com/2010/10/homemade-cranberry-sauce.html
Friday, October 8, 2010. With the Canadian Thanksgiving looming this weekend, I have been busy trying to get my house in order for company and figuring out how I'm going to get everything accomplished that I want to. Like any aspiring hostess, I want to not just satisfy my guests but dazzle them a little with my culinary skills and leave them begging for more. Feed em, Feed em and Feed em some more. ;) This sauce was incredibly easy and takes next to no time at all to prepare. I'd definitely make this th...

In the Mommy Trenches: Hey Coffee, Coffee – A Tassimo Review
http://www.zeemaid.com/2012/08/hey-coffee-coffee-tassimo-review.html
Saturday, August 11, 2012. Hey Coffee, Coffee – A Tassimo Review. A week or so ago I wrote a post titled Gas Station Coffee is Just fine For Me. Well, who would have thought that that little rant would lead to me reviewing the latest Tassimo T55 in my own home. And let’s just say…. I’m in love. Adding the hot water to resevoir. In fairness, this could be due to the fact that it’s marketed as a “travel-sized” brewer since it only holds one cup’s worth of water at a time. Check out Tassimo.com. For more in...
