Green Mothers


Recycling is the bain of my existance.

I agree with it.

I want to.

But I HATE it....because it's not easy, I don't have the room, I hate the stockpile, it's easier to just chuck it, our curb side service sucked, and the new service doesn't start until May. Oh May hurry up!

While perusing Chatelaine today, I came upon this article and it cracked me up. Cracked I say!! Grab a bevy, have a comfy seat and read away. May it give you a Saturday Smile too!

World Epilepsy Day


The boys and I had a super time at our City Hall adventure for World Epilepsy Day - Purple Day. Riding the train was a hit for the boys as well as the bags of mini Oreos.


Which is a partial reason as to why Bup's little chocolate face was an attraction while waiting for the festivities to commence. Unfortunately I brought the wrong camera...one with a dead battery so there are no pics.
The mom who spoke was very heartfelt and moving as was the 12 yr old girl who lives with Epilepsy and is an avid volunteer at EAC. What a girl! She's amazing!





May today and the precedent that is set brings Epilepsy out of the dark and comfort to those who are affected.
Here's the little man we wear purple for.
Wear your purple proudly.
Heartfelt thanks to those of you who do!
Hugs,
Bup & the rest of us

Epilepsy Global Awareness - Purple Day


Tomorrow is Purple Day to increase awareness about Epilepsy.

So break out your purple clothes and spread the word. Epilepsy exists, people need help and those with Epilepsy are normal & wonderful & need to be heard.

If you are in town, come on down to City Hall where the mayor will be speaking as well as a young girl afflicted by Epilepsy and free purple cupcakes for all.

Then scoot on down 7th ave to Banker's Hall where EAC volunteers will be handing out information, pins and cookies with purple icing.

If you're lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of me and my boys! I'll be the mom with the sparkly purple nails and two little boys covered in purple icing. See you there!

Blog Station

Where do you blog?
With your laptop on your knees on the couch?
In bed?
The office?

Here's one of my spots. This oak roll top desk was my dad's. It has a history...and if memory serves me right I think my dad won it in a game of poker when he was a young adult. I like it. The mess can be tucked away with a roll of the top. ( A roll top house is on order!)

So, where do you blog?
