Photoshoot
I’m plotting a certain something related to The Book. Something that requires proper photographs as opposed to snapshots, so I sent out an email to the talented Raff, a friend of my sister’s, who has her own production company. Did she know a photographer? Did she ever. She put me in touch with the equally…

In Which I Ask for Your Vote
I’ve been known to say that being Danish-Canadian gives me a double whammy of reticence and self effacement, so imagine I’m twisting myself into a pretzel as I’m writing thisl. However! I am apparently not self-effacing enough. I’m nominated for the 2010 Canadian Blog Awards in the Best Chronic Illness Blog category. Should you feel that…
Rheumatoid Arthritis, Pregnancy & Parenthood
Not having wee ones of my own, I had no idea. I received information about a new book dealing with pregnancy when you have RA and it looked like something we should review for MyRACentral. I interviewed the author – a lovely woman named Suzie from Perth, Australia – and found out that there is…
Never Say Never
“Please shoot me,” I said, like an arrogant snot, “if I ever get a Twitter account.” I have a friend – who shall remain nameless to protect their dignity – who regularly sneers at television. Simply doesn’t believe that there can be anything of value, artistic merit or non-trashy on the small screen. We all…
International Day for People with Disabilities

Tink 4th Birthday
Who’d have thinked that these wee babies would four years later become these lovely kids? Sure, you expect them to grow, but never know how that growth is going to turn out. The Tinks are bright, creative, energetic, talkative (ok, that one’s not so much a surprise given the rest of the family), loving kids…
A Rose by Any Other Name
A couple of days ago, I watched this Momversation about the way children address adults, which contained an astounding number women at least a decade younger than I am, if not more holding forth about how kids addressing adults by their last name (e.g. Mrs. Smith, Mr. Jones) is an essential form of manners, of…

Once-A-Year Day & A Contest
In the grand tradition of the shameless self-promotion that happens in this space on this day, I’m going to be All About Me and announced that today is my birthday. Well, the beginnings of – today is the actual day, but celebrations will, as usual, be stretched out over a week or so. I’m not…
