This sounds genius. I would totally take advantage of something like graze if it were available in Canada and wasn’t too pricey. It’s so easy to resort to junky snacks when out and about (though I do always carry […]

Romance as a genre was pretty much off my radar until Bryn won me over with her previous book! This one: I WANT!

Wait, there are PMag MUGS?! I haven’t been paying close enough attention.

Two years already? Wow.

Happy birthday P-Mag, & wishes for many more successful years of keeping readers informed & entertained!

UNICORN! Growing up my favourite stuffed animal was a winged unicorn. It got lost during a move. A P-Mag unicorn would therefore complete my life. Or something like that :D

Hugs, Cesy. This sounds a lot like what I go through with drinking, and mindfulness is an approach that works for me most of the time. That, and becoming a social drinker instead of a solo drinker. Wishing you fortitude.

The juniors come up with the best derby names. And they tend to be food related.

Cookies and Cream! Because 1) I know an awesome 14-year-old whose derby name is Cookies N Scream, and 2) mint will always taste like the dentist, and even the most delicious chocolate chips cannot mask that foul flavour.

Good article! As a fellow writer/teacher of poetry, I would say that the common comment I make to students is pointing out cliche, and I find cliches are very often tied to metaphor because it’s so easy to forget […]

Heavenly Hash ice cream was the super fancy special occasion treat in my house growing up. So good.

I have finally conquered the dishes. They have been under control for over a week now. It makes such a difference – things look so much cleaner, it’s easier to prep food when there’s no shuffling of dirty dishes […]

Congrats!! Awesome job Cesy!!!! It’s amazing that you managed to surprise yourself :)

This! Some of my most creative moments during grad school happened in short 10 or 15 minute bursts between other things. Better to edit one page or write one line in that window between getting home and making […]

Glad to hear I’m not the only one. Sometimes it seems like we’re in some ridiculous gender-based sitcom, and I think feeling cast as the ‘nagging wife’ to his ‘messy manchild’ annoys me almost as much as the […]

PoM, you probably already know that I absolutely love UfYH, but I need to say it again.

I haven’t made the kind of progress I’ve hoped for (because life is busy, because I can’t get my husband to commit to even […]

Nice work Cesy! Crossovers are difficult for a lot of new skaters. You’ll get them down soon!

This might sound funny, but clench your butt muscles with the plough stop and really engage your thighs – make sure […]

I live in Alberta. The Wildrose party is extremely scary. They refuse to take a stand on moral issues as a party, saying they will instead open issues like gay marriage and abortion to public referendum. One of […]

Sounds like fate! Hope you get a chance to check it out!

I had another thought. If you want the exercise without the contact, you could always become a referee – they get tons of skating, but much less contact. […]

I picked up derby after being a lump for two years in grad school myself. It’s great exercise, especially if you’re able to skate multiple times a week.

At the learning stages, the bruises tend to be minor. […]

Happy to help in any way I can  :)
