	I Love Fall It's been a busy couple of months in the Gaggart household (that's Genn & Taggart). Sweet Zoë turned one. We celebrated by heading to the park with our good friend Katyann Davidson for some photos. more... How fast a year goes.... Zoë is one. I can't believe how fast the past year has gone by....and what a fun year it has been. Zoë is a sweet, loving, hilarious and vivacious little girl - being with her is pure joy. more... Recipes Looking for Kay's pumpkin pie recipe? You've come to the right place. more... Another PNE It's been two years since I have done the weather from the PNE, but going back this year felt like I never left. Was it because I had a two year break or because I have a different attitude about it? Maybe a combination of the two. more... Sniffles and butterflies I'm sick! Nooooooooooo! I woke up with a sore throat last Friday, since then I have been loading up on vitamins, Advil & Ricola. more... Beckett's 2nd Birthday! The biggest event of my summer vacation was Beckett's second birthday! I can't believe he's two. How did that fly by so fast? We had a party to celebrate and our house was overrun with small people. more... My summer vacation What a summer vacation I had. It's not what I was expecting but it sure was a good time. Let's see, where to start? How about with the obvious -- Regis & Kelly! more... Stan the Man Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my dog Stanley. He's my dream dog. I always wanted an Airedale, I couldn't wait to get one - I had Airedale calendar's, Airedale postcards....I lived in a condo so it was just a dream. more... Beckett I'm pretty sure most people know that my sweet son Beckett has Down syndrome, if you didn't you do now. It's a topic that makes some people feel uncomfortable, usually because they don't know anything about Down syndrome and I understand that. more... My friend Jorye My friend Jorye passed away on May 24, 2008. It's amazing how quickly a year can fly by. Jorye was just shy of his 11th birthday when he passed away. When I met him he had osteosarcoma and had just had his leg amputated at the knee. He was seven years old. more... My favourite blanket I have a thing for blankets, I love them - especially if someone has made it by hand. When I was pregnant with Beckett I was sent so many beautiful handmade blankets, each one has been loved and used frequently. more... Sunday Dinner When I was a kid, Sunday dinner was a big deal. It was so great, my nanny and grandpa would come over and we would eat dinner and have fun as a family. more... My first week back at CTV Wow, my first week back to work was interesting. Here's what I learned: more... The Great Debate Most of my friends with children work, I also have a few friends who decided to stay home and now that their kids are older they are reentering the workforce. more... Mommy Brain I've heard the term 'Mommy Brain' before and didn't really understand until I acquired it...I have a serious case of 'Mommy Brain'. more... Happy New Year! Can you believe how fast a year flies by? What is it about having kids that makes time fly by so fast? more... Santa, Santa, Santa I love Christmas, it's my favorite time of the year. I'm a nester, always been, I like to stock-up the house and stay in until the New Year and if I can be in my pajamas - even better. more... Tamara's list of things to do I get asked a lot about when I'm coming back to work. The plan is to come back on February 2nd. CTV is the official broadcaster of the 2010 Winter Olympics so there's a lot to do -- 2009 will be a busy year. more... On My Own When Dave told me he was going on the road with 54-40 for the month of November it didn't really cross my mind just how long that month would seem. more... Settling in I have been meaning to start a blog for a while now but it's been a little busy around here! Someone asked me the other day if two kids is more work than one - uh, the answer is YES! more... Welcome to the world Zoe Frances Noriko Genn We have an exciting announcement to share with all of you. Our very own Tamara Taggart has a new baby girl! more...
