What Did She Say

My mind is always open

  • Review: CATS

    Although there is the impending release of CATS the Musical the Movie (in theatres December 20), we're going to chat about CATS the Musical the Musical here. CATS is enjoying its current run at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto until January 5, 2020. Not only are the cats ...

  • Review: Girl From the North Country

    Credit: Tristan Baker (@TrisBaker) | Twitter "Ravishing", reads the banner in the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. I couldn't agree more. What a stunning show. I knew little to nothing about this show and I wasn't all that excited about the show when I first heard about it. I know a ...

  • Mirvish Fall Offerings

    It's almost fall. I know, I know. Shhh.... sorry. Mirvish has some sensational productions on tap for us - including two of my favourite musical superstars - Chilina Kennedy and Louise Pitre! You cannot go wrong with either of these powerhouses. Starting September 17, the Ed Mirvish Theatre will be ...

  • Review: Waitress

    Toronto is in for a treat - and I don't just mean the pie you can get in the lobby, although that is fabulous and fun. Waitress is a delight. With music and lyrics by the incredible Sara Bareilles, you know it's going to be good. Had 2016 not been ...

This is going to be another one of those stream of consciousness posts (which most of mine are) where I have a basic idea what I'd like to say, but no idea where it will take me, how much I will expose, or where it will end. Deep breath and here ...

Let me start off by saying I'm generally not a "play" person. I have enjoyed the odd play I've gone to. Some that pop to mind are Twelve Angry Men, ART, Picasso at the Lapin Agile. But, I generally find myself getting bored at some point during a play. I'm more of a musical ...

No longer looming

Posted by jackiyo 32 Comments

We did it. We told the kids. [caption id="attachment_891" align="aligncenter" width="425" caption="Credit: http://www.legaljuice.com/2011/12/post_332.html"][/caption] It wasn't easy. On any of us. But it's done. The kids know that Mommy and Daddy aren't going to be married anymore. Our kids are 4 and 7, so we spoke in pretty basic terms. We started out by telling them ...

It’s looming

Posted by jackiyo 69 Comments

I have no idea where this post is headed or if it will even make much sense, but there's something in my head that needs to come out - and out it shall come. [caption id="attachment_880" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="From: ministry-to-children.com/divorce-and-children/"][/caption] Many of you already know. Some may not. For those who don't ...

Dear internet, It's been over a month since my last post. I have so much in my head. It's all swirly - and most of it I can't write about. Or at least, publish. I've written countless half posts and let them shrivel away. But today something happened. I - along with many ...

I was sitting watching my son play today and I had a thought. (I know.. It can happen.) I feel as if I've been opening myself up more to possibilities and the universe, or whatever you want to call it. I'm feeling more intune. I'm more concerned with how something feels ...

I just read a post by Annie at PhDinParenting.com and I had to look into this more. She posted a tweet from @EvenfloBaby and a video from their YouTube channel. Here is the tweet: "If forced to feed on-the-go".. Really, Evenflo? I enjoyed being able to feed on-the-go. Using the term "forced" ...

Bed

Posted by jackiyo 6 Comments

I'm making myself write this post. I don't want to, since it's not a "happy, cheery" post, but it needs to come out. So, here it is. I forced myself to get out of bed to write because I didn't want to get out of bed today. Not because it was comfy ...

And my heart will always belong in Goderich. My childhood home. My town. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tu8JFZw3L6A Yesterday was just surreal. We woke to a special day here. Baby Girl turned seven yesterday. We welcomed my parents (who live in Goderich) as they came to Kitchener to take us all out for lunch. Baby Girl chose ...

Too stupid to be smart

Posted by jackiyo 1 Comment

  There's been a lot of talk about breaking out of comfort zones and pushing oneself.  A lot of the posts on this blog are me doing just that. I talked about the c word. I fessed up about the ugly cry and getting beaten down by the bitch in the ...
