The Bachelor: Weekly ramblings
lindseyward in Just Between Us - 1 comment - posted on Jan 30th, 2013It was way too early in the season for a leaning-over-the-balcony scene. And yet, there we found Bachelor Sean on Monday night, leaning over the balcony, devastated over having to dump Leslie H. (pictured), of all people. Leslie was far too intelligent for The Bachelor (the show and probably the man himself), and to be working as a poker dealer (but that’s another deal altogether). But at least she made off with a pricey parting gift in the form of two giant diamond earrings. Cha-ching! Here are some other random notes/complaints about Monday’s episode: – A roller derby is not … Continue reading
The Bachelor: Weekly Ramblings
lindseyward in As Seen on TV!, Gossip Blogaholic - 2 comments - posted on Jan 21st, 2013Another week, more hearts to break. But that’s the way the champagne cork flies in the world of The Bachelor, which is turning out to be ridiculously addictive yet again this season. I figured Sean Lowe would make a ho-hum leading man, but it turns out he’s got a wild sense of humour and a sick set of abs — enough to keep me and millions of other women watching. Speaking of women, what do you think of the 16 Sean has kept around for Week 3 (a.k.a. Monday’s episode)? For me, they fall into three categories: Mean girls who … Continue reading
Birthday Madness: Perfectly overrated
lindseyward in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, New Mommy Blogaholics, Organized Chaos Blogaholics, Party Planning Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Dec 13th, 2012It’s not even Baby L’s birthday yet, and I’m already partied out. Thanks to the boatload of creative moms out there, a certain “pinning” website, and the pressure I’m constantly putting on myself as a perfectionist control freak, I’m a bit of a mess about the impending 1st birthday fiesta at the end of the month. While my hubby keeps reminding me it’s all about the people and the good time, and that L won’t have any memory of this event whatsoever (and I know he’s right), my inner Martha Stewart keeps telling me I need to be staying up … Continue reading
‘Tis the season to be paranoid!
lindseyward in Crafty Blogaholic, For the love of parenting, Holiday Blogaholics, New Mommy Blogaholics, Organized Chaos Blogaholics - 4 comments - posted on Dec 1st, 2012Call me a panicky new mom (which is what I am) but is Christmas not the most terrifying time of year for an 11-month-old to be crawling around the house? While the ritual of putting up our Christmas decorations was a fun one B.C. (Before Child), I’m now dreading this weekend’s plans to transform the house with Baby L underfoot, pondering which decorations might taste the best. And it’s not only the itty bitty (read: choking hazard) ornaments that have me worried. It’s the power cords for the Christmas lights. And the stockings that can easily be yanked off the … Continue reading
And the final rose will go to …
lindseyward in As Seen on TV!, Gossip Blogaholic - 2 comments - posted on Nov 21st, 2012Be still, my heart! I just cannot bear to go on much longer not knowing who Brad Smith chooses to be his No. 1 on the season finale of The Bachelor Canada. Oh, the suspense! But lucky for me — and the many of you out there who can’t resist the guilty pleasure — there’s not much waiting left to do, as the V-necked, pec-tatted CFLer will hand out the final rose on Wednesday’s big finale. Yes, I’m eager to know who he picks — sultry Bianka or catty Whitney. Though I’m not really married to the idea of either … Continue reading
Welcome to my reality.
lindseyward in As Seen on TV!, For the love of parenting, Gossip Blogaholic, New Mommy Blogaholics - 6 comments - posted on Nov 16th, 2012I’m so excited to be a new PTPA Blogaholic! What an honour to be part of a such a smart and talented group. Hmm, I guess you’re wondering who the heck I am, right? Well, simply put, I’m a gal of two passions: Family and writing. But let’s expand on that a bit. On the home front, I’m a doting and oft-clueless mommy to a feisty and fun 10-month-old boy. Next year I will turn 30 — and my relationship with my high school sweetheart (now my hubby) will turn 15. That’s half of my life with the same man, … Continue reading
