The kids are following their auntie Bren’s lead by having a year of special holidays in one month. Today is Daddy’s “birthday”, so the kids were taking their dad to a “live” football match in the living room. There was a good deal of net repair, but the enthusiasm and Daddy’s smile was undeniable. He even tried to eat the Hawaiian Sweetbun sandwiches and chocolate cake his little girl made for him.
If there is one thing that this quarantine has taught us is that while everyday may not be great or even good, there is something great or good in everyday, and just when it seems like we cannot have fun, there is a way to make even our living rooms special. You just need a good imagination and the willingness to laugh ❤️
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!
