Ummmm… I totally don’t remember us discussing if you could become a teenager, Buddy Boy! I mean, I guess if you insist, but ideally, I would have you sitting on my lap singing HOT DOG HOT DOG right now!
Ok, fine, you’re 13. I guess I can’t stop you, as long as you promise to stay smart, and sarcastic, and funny, and cuddly, and loving, and laugh at the same jokes as me, and teach L how to play video games from inside a Kleenex box, and be creative, and 100% yourself, I guessssss I can get used to it. I mean, you are basically my mini-me, and I love you more than anything, so if you insist on growing up and living an awesome, fulfilling, happy life, I don’t have anything to complain about.
Happy birthday, handsome. I love you so much ❤️ and I cannot believe it has been 13 flipping years since I as waiting on pins and needles to meet baby B!
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!
