I am currently sitting on Air Canada, en route from Vancouver back home to Montreal, reflecting upon the incredible five days we have just had. A complete whirlwind of activities, line-ups, security checks and national pride, Jeremy and my time at the 2010 Olympics was truly an experience of a lifetime. And this flight is pretty sweet too… Ah, the joys of traveling without my 16 month old, Jasper (he stayed home in Montreal with his grandparents)! Miss the kid like crazy but it sure is nice to actually watch the movie for a change!

We are now well in to the second week of February and it is right about now that winter really seems to feel endless. With the Christmas rush long gone, and the post-New Year’s glow so last month, February really seems to be the time when everyone has had it with winter. Enough with the snowstorms, the minus-20 (without windchill) unbearable cold, the days where the sun doesn’t really appear till 8 AM, only to vanish again so quickly at 4:30, and wrestling my wiggling son in and out of his puffy, one-piece snowsuit 3 times a day!

The devastation in Haiti is unbelievable. The indelible images on the news, the heart-breaking stories and unimaginable future for a country that has already faced such hardship and challenges is impossible to comprehend. Help is needed and every dollar counts. Hatley is donating 20% of all online sales from now until February 17th to the Canadian Red Cross to help with Haiti relief efforts. I know it is just a drop in the bucket, but it is something, and every little bit helps.
On a much lighter note, I have had more adventures in the exciting life as a new mother. After our whirlwind trip to Vancouver and Whistler, Jasper and I made our way slowly back to Montreal last week, with a 2 day stop-over in Toronto. Not exactly home, but at least we were back in the right time zone. The purpose of our layover was for Jasper to pose in the Hatley photo shoot for the Fall 2010 catalogue, quite a distinguished honour (with certainly a bit of nepotism involved!) And so begins my life as a stage mum…
