My HTC Touch Diamond

Before I bought my current Blackberry I had an HTC Touch. I completely relate to the experience my colleague Robb Stevenson has had with his HTC Touch Diamond. Robb’s thoughts on his HTC Touch experience; I remember buying this phone with such joy – I had researched the phone for months, and finally was really […]

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Girls

One year ago today Annalie decided that it was time to get the show on. She headed down the birth canal and at 7:53 am she arrived weighing what looked and felt like a miniscule 1705 grams (3 lbs 12 ounces). And two minutes later, at 7:55 am, Story slid down the same birth canal, feet […]

Blonde Bear the Morning After the Night Before

We were out at Superstore in Coquitlam this morning. Blonde Bear was feeling a little under the weather from hitting the bottle a little too heavily the night before so she wanted to wear shades to protect her eyes from the bright lights… As well she is always cognizant of the paparazzi who follow her […]

Competitive Twin Support Groups

Who knew that Twin Support Groups were competitive? Groups “kick-out” members for “violations” and other groups try to poach members? This semi-secret society system is even more cloak and dagger than the mysterious Masonic societies. Some Twin Groups charge a membership fee for who knows what while others do not charge. Some invite mothers only…mothers who […]
