If you’re in your 40’s, I’m pretty sure you grew up watching M*A*S*H, a medical dramedy about a medical surgical unit situated in the middle of the Korean war. It wasn’t a life-altering experience for me, just part of the background noise of my growing up. 28(!) years after the series finale, I can only…

Is Spring Break for kids only?
So I have an impossibly beautiful girlfriend – gorgeous hair, great conversationalist, and H-O-T, hot. Except for the fact that I feel like Bea Arthur when we go out for dinner together and men are swarming around her like wasps to barbequed steak in the summer, I really enjoy her company. She has just gone…
Hi, My name is Lucie and I’m a Shop-a-holic
At least that’s what my husband calls me, but I prefer the term, savvy shopper. My shopping skills were honed early on in the malls of suburbia, where my mother (a hard working farmer’s hard working wife) faced with having to get her 5 daughters ready for “back to school” would hand us 3 older…
I ♥ you, Vancouver
On a sunny day like today, there is no other place for me. And on all those other rainy, dirty, sexy, edgy, friendly, funky, wet and oh-so-yummy days, I still love you Vancouver. Love Lucie PS. Thanks to @sonsryan for sharing! xox
Whistler: home of the 2010 Winter Olympics and many happy cougars!
Born and raised on the West Coast, Whistler feels like my backyard. I had my first kiss on a chairlift and the good times on the mountain haven’t ever stopped. I’ve rung in countless new years up there and had my bachelorette party there too. Anniversaries, family vacations, friends weddings, ski trips – the reasons…
Warning: Cougars headed your way!
For about 360 days of the year, I am a quinoa-eating, hot yoga loving, green tea sipping, play-date organizing, kid chauffeuring, nutrition packing momma. But once or twice a year, my girlfriends and I hit the road, leaving the hubbies and the kids to fend for themselves for 48-72 hours. It’s glorious – the freedom…
I hate sick days, but I fear the stink eye more
I hate it when my kids are sick. Sneezes spewing germs invade my personal space, juice from their little noses running right into their mouths, whimpering complaints of being too hot, too cold, with matching tummy and ear aches. I want to scream Calgon, take me away! And to top it all off, they don’t…
S&M and Women in Music
I’m a Top 40 girl, always have been. I lived for those noon-hour sock-hops in high school, and still, I love to dance the night away. Music played an enormous part in my emotional & social development. Despite the “no boyfriends, no makeup, no parties” rules my Tiger parents enforced, being able to discuss the…
Tag, You’re it!
Today I’d like to thank the members of the Academy (Deanna of A Mother’s Tonic, I’m talking to you) for granting me the auspicious honour of a Memetastic Award, which she assures me is the blogging equivalent of an Oscar. Yippee! Huffington Post, here I come – oh, wait a second… Memetastic sounds like something…
Love Lucie
