15 Things I Miss About Being a Kid

How I miss being a kid sometimes! Here are 15 things I miss now that I am (sort of) grown-up.

1. Relishing your brand new school supplies on the first day of school.
2. Recess. Grown-ups could use regularly scheduled breaks where your only goal is to run around and scream your head off.
3. Trading your snack or sandwich with a friend.
4. Receiving handwritten Valentine’s Day cards with cheesy sayings like, “I Choo-Choo-Choose You.”

Where Did All the Good Neighbours Go?

I live in your average middle-class neighbourhood where people take care of their lawns and most people on my street have 1.5 kids and a puppy. Most people are pretty friendly and say “hello” when they pass by—everybody except my neighbours that is.

My First Mother’s Day as a Mom

There are two types of mothers: those who have been “mothers” all their lives (the type that rescues kittens and takes friends under her wing), and the type that slowly become a mother by necessity. I fall under the latter category. My daughter’s diaper was the very first diaper I’ve ever changed.

I Don’t Want a Husband—I Want a Boyfriend for Life

There’s something about the words husband and wife that conjures up images of flannel pajamas, frumpy hair, and sexless nights. I know there are many happily married couples out there, but when someone becomes a husband or wife, I think we start getting a little too comfortable with our spouse.

It’s like the words themselves start affecting our behaviours. For instance, my husband and I have always prided ourselves on openness and honesty in our relationship. But the other day when Josh went to use the toilet, he found that I had forgotten to flush…and it was not a pretty sight.

Growing Up with Immigrant Parents

When people think of Canada, they often think of a cultural mosaic, a place where people from all cultures and ethnicities co-exist peacefully. The racial make-up of Canadians has changed dramatically in the past decade as more visible minorities are moving to the country. However, growing up as a child of the 80’s in Alberta, I did not exactly feel like part of a mosaic. In fact, I often felt like the odd little Asian kid amongst a sea of Caucasian faces.

Inaugural Post

Welcome to LuvBuv! As my very first official post I thought I would give you a snapshot of where I am in life. I currently work full-time at a software company doing marketing/advertising/design and I also do occasional freelance graphics and marketing writing on the side. As I’m writing this, I am busy preparing for my wedding which is just a couple weeks away. I am getting married to a great guy who also happens to be my boss. Boss?! I will be writing a post shortly about our juicy story. You can decide if it is scandalous or not. ;)
