The Joys of the Neighbourhood Playgroup
It's 9:30 on a Wednesday morning, and the older children have made their way to school. The smell of fresh-brewed coffee wafts through our house. A loaf of banana bread, baked and frozen last week, has been thawed and sliced, and sits on a plate ...

Delivering Birthday Party Invitations: An Unexpected Workout
At Cabin Fever we aim to make room for everyone in the family to participate, however small or tall the activity. In our last post, our almost-seven-year-old made her own birthday invitations. Thus, our Saturday afternoon plan: to deliver ...
Holiday Baking with Children
The children start their Christmas vacation earlier than usual this year, leading Cabin Fever to think: nothing like a little holiday baking to fill the hours with festive cheer. I have in mind an all-family project. Wouldn't it be merry to prepare ...
I'm Thankful for My Children - But Not the Way You Might Think
Thanksgiving is such an odd holiday. It is the only time of year when we're generally asked to pause and take stock of what matters to us most. Generally, what matters most is family, friends, a roof over our heads and food to eat. This year we're ...
How old is too old for trick or treating on Halloween?
My father, who's birthday is on Halloween (lucky guy!) would tell you that you're really never too old to celebrate Halloween. His love for the holiday is probably the reason Halloween is my favorite day of the year. That said, we've all opened ...
Decorating for Thanksgiving?
Do you decorate for Thanksgiving? You know, that holiday in between Halloween (when we decorate) and Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa (when we decorate). You know--the one with the turkey and the pilgrims and native Americans? Yeah, that one--the one ...
Stranded in suburbia
When I was raising Christy, I was a single mom making very little money. We lived in a variety of homes - apartments, condos and houses, all rented in what some might consider undesirable neighborhoods. I tried to stay put for her sake, but whenever ...The perils of a silent neighbourhood
Nolan, as I have written before, prefers to welcome the day at the crack of dawn. His wake up call floats, warbled, down the hall, sometime around 5:30 AM. By the time I make coffee, feed the dog, wipe yogurt and blueberries off chins and elbows, ...Do these 'Slow' figures really work?
At some point in your travels, you have probably seen one of these little yellow plastic guys. Holding a red flag, he reminds you to slow down because there are kids nearby. When I see one, I automatically take my foot off the gas and play closer ...
Breaking up is hard to do
So, I quit my job. Don't get too excited yet, though--I got another one. It turns out I will be working in my neighborhood, about 100 yards from my house. I will still need day care, but it will be a twenty minute walk from my house instead of an ...
NYC real estate
Well, it's official. I will NEVER own real estate in my neighborhood. Unless we hit the lotto anytime soon, which is basically never going to happen, I will eventually be pushed out of my neighborhood and deep into the heart of Brooklyn. This ...
Meeting Mr. Rogers
I love this guy. No, I mean it. I really love this guy. I watched Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood when I was a kid and even have several of his records in the garage along with my E.L.O. and Pink Floyd. This morning, as we were waking up, we turned on the ...
