Here’s the deal, I am an awful school parent. Terrible. If I remember to get the boys to do their homework and pack a decent lunch for them, it’s a really good week. I show up to the parent teacher interviews. I sign and return permission forms mostly on time. Each report card that comes […]
Stories from a Small Town: Christmas on the Farm
** Before I get into this latest edition of Stories from a Small Town, I just wanted to say hi! I’m back. For how long depends on the hockey schedule, the whim of my words and how the stars align. Maybe one of these times my schedule will actually stick and this will be the […]

And just like that summer is over. We got the email about the hockey evaluation schedule the other day. There were no surprises. After three or four seasons you pretty much know how things are going to go. But it’s a sign that summer is coming to an end and it’s time to get back […]
The HockeyMom Uniform: Fall Capsule Wardrobe
In case it has escaped anyone’s notice, I’m all about simplifying and streamlining the processes that get me through the day. This is never more important than at the beginning of a hockey season.
