There’s a lot to post about my trip to Paris. But right now I just want to acknowledge my rediscovered love for stripes and caffeinated coffee. 🩷

The Louvre was booked up for my visit, which was fine because I got the best view anyway. With wine. @cafe_marly

It eventually stopped. It was just me, three kids and a mom. Best 2.50 euros I spent. 🎠

Paris on 28 hours of no sleep. Just think what I could do with a proper night’s rest! 🇫🇷 🥐

I’m celebrating two things today. The birth of my first book four years ago, and my mom. Obviously one is more special to me than the other but I don’t think it’s appropriate to say such a thing on Mother’s Day. JUST KIDDING.
I’m not going to go into a long spiel about my mom. I’ll save that for my next book 😉 But here’s a favourite photo of her — being adored by dogs and doing laundry! What says Mom more than that? 💕
Link in bio to purchase — the book that is, not my mom. But name a price and maybe?? (Seriously if you want to read more about my relationship with my mom, including what it’s like being raised by someone with Asperger’s, visit my website and go to writings and you’ll see an essay I wrote about us for Elle Canada).

Travelling solo is fun… even if you’re not single! In fact it’s probably a great thing to do especially if you’re not single — both for yourself and your relationship.

Orgasms aren’t the end all and be all of sex. So

Orgasms aren’t the end all and be all of sex. Somehow pleasure got tossed to the wayside of sex since we are all about reaching that climax like it’s some grand finish line 🏁 . Yes, orgasms are cool and all but have you ever tried just touching and pleasuring your partner without climax being THE goal? We are pressured to achieve too much in life already - sex shouldn’t be one of them. Thanks to @funfactory and @rebeccaalvarezstory for their input on this story I wrote for @scarymommy — link in bio to read or go here https://www.scarymommy.com/lifestyle/why-pleasure-should-be-goal-of-sex-not-orgasms

Aries season. Thigh high boots. Getting used to jeans. French food. Food poisoning. Easter inertia with McDick. John’s body is a wonderland. Sunny spring days by the water. Early morning (paid!) photo shoot. Inspiration from Big Magic Gilbert herself. Period isolation with my oxytocin in fur form. Sometimes bravery is saying yes to all the things that make you feel good in the moment. Hindsight is overrated. We live more creatively when we reach beyond our status quo. Even in tight jeans.✨

There’s a part of me that still believes in the Easter bunny. Although maybe not this one. This one’s a little scary.🐰

Happy Earth Month! 🌎
I wrote this piece for @bbcfuture_official a few years ago on windmills versus wildlife protection. Fun fact — A while back a student from the University of Toronto emailed me, telling me they were using my story as an example of how to best cite research. Not bad for a self taught journalist.

Anyway, the need for more green energy does provide a conservation conundrum which goes to show there’s no quick fix for the planet - but more conversations are always a good place to start.

This week. For the record, I am not related to Hulk Hogan. His real last name isn’t even Hogan. He’s as relevant as his expired abs and yet, I have a newsletter with his name on it. Won’t you sign up for it? (Link in bio!) My cat is finally playing in the house I bought her weeks ago on Amazon — she usually plays with literal garbage, so that makes me feel better about my carbon footprint. I made French toast for the first time in years and I thought, why haven’t I made this in years? Eggs on bread with syrup is delicious. I will now eat it everyday. Speaking of garbage, I made a mug. The handle broke. Now it’s a handleless mug. I refuse to put plants and pencils in it. The class cost $90, it’s the most expensive mug I own. It’s a mug. I forgot about Hootie & the Blowfish, and now I never want to forget them ever again. Gen Z can have our overalls and baby tees, but they will never have our Hootie. PS Did you know there’s an emoji for blowfish 🐡?

This is a very old photograph of my mom and me, but since she’s allergic to her photo being taken (see slide 2), it’s pretty much the only photographic evidence that we have, in fact, interacted with one another before.
Today is her birthday, she’s an Aries sun, Virgo moon, and Libra rising. Passionate, impulsive fighter for fairness who likes things the way she likes them. Neurodivergent. A good friend to many who love her. And my best friend. She had me at 23 - a baby having a baby - an event I can’t imagine doing at that age. Yet here I am, and I turned out pretty good (I mean, if I say so), which is a testament to her. As the years go by, I can’t help but notice our age gap is becoming smaller and smaller. 23 years hits different in adulthood than it does in adolescence. Which means one day, sooner than later, we will both be senior citizens together, doing mobility exercises and eating dinner by 5. Maybe by then, she’ll let me take another photo of us together. But I doubt it.

Happy birthday, Mom! 💕🤪

Sex maintenance. Is it something that can save a relationship or is it just patriarchal BS? I talked to sexologist @rebeccaalvarezstory for @scarymommy and her insights were fascinating. Link in bio to read or check out my writing highlights. ⚡️ https://www.scarymommy.com/lifestyle/maintenance-sex

This week…Making stuff with my hands. Is it a mug, a planter, a holder of pencils and secrets — who knows? I will try to love it anyway. International women’s day with Beyoncé, hair tossing, leggings, body touching = medicine. What a fool believes — that 70s rock is dead, it needs a resurgence. Guitars and beards and male angst. The panic and anxiety of an Oscars pool. I haven’t won in five years. It’s my own pool. Why do I do this to myself? This year I vote with my head not my heart, everything everywhere all at once. Lesson learned: don’t pick at my shortcomings. Flaws are interesting. Always room to grow, or just let it be. Self compassion is underrated. In Michael McDonald, we trust.

Lots of limbs and body parts going around demand some help and advice if you want to engage in a threesome. “Where does this go?” “What am I doing again?”
Thanks to sex therapist Aliyah Moore on her tips and tricks. Sorry to my mom who’ll see this post. Hey — it’s a living!! 🤷‍♀️🤪
