Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity. I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books. A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been “super married” to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids. My first book – How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!) I have tried a podcast – it’s still on Apple and Google Podcasts – but writing is where my heart is. My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit. I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually. Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!

Suuuuuuper Married

My coworkers say that Dave and I are “super married”, meaning that we are as married as 2 people who have not been married for 60 years could possibly be. Last night, we put that to the test 🤣 – I bought some hair dye at the professional beauty supply shop (Sally’s) and asked him to read the directions and paint my hair. So he watched a zillion YouTube Balayage and Ombré videos, and then set to work. He told me that smart husbands would say no; I told him it was just hair, and I could always go back to super dark if it didn’t work out.

….

I would like to mention that my hubby is NOT at all trained in hair styling of any kind…

….

Well, I guess we are “super married” because today, I am very happy with my bright, copper coloured hair, and told him so.

….

Is there anything that you would NEVER consider doing with your spouse? Is there something you THOUGHT you would never do and then did?
