Saturday Snap – Settling In…

We likely won’t be permanently into our new house until later next week but that doesn’t mean, now that we have possession, we can’t start getting settled in!

Friday Fun Link – How Black Friday Shopping Habits Are Changing

I admit that between things we need for our new house and the usual Christmas pressure to “buy, buy, buy!”, I had a fairly loaded Amazon cart on the go. But I read this article and just couldn’t do it – I mean, I know most corporations treat workers poorly and do anything in pursuit […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Traditions (December 2007)

Feeling sentimental knowing we won’t have Christmas here this year, I was looking through my oldest photos for a picture of one of our first Christmases at our current house. Unfortunately, since we bought our house in 2004 and our first digital camera in 2006 (and all our old-school photo albums are in boxes somewhere), […]

Five Things We Think We’ll Love In Our New House

Following up on yesterday’s list of things we’ll miss when we leave our current house, here’s a few things we think we’ll love in our new house… Attached Garage Yesterday, I wrote about how we stupidly wanted to make sure we had a garage when we bought this house but ended up buying a house […]

10 Things We’ve Done To Make The Move To Our New House As Stress-free As Possible

We moved to a newer part of the same community we’ve lived in for fifteen years.  In fact, our new house is only about ten blocks from our current house (and shorter as the crow flies)! Because of this, the kids won’t have to change schools (a major consideration in our decision.) Not only that […]

Saturday Snap – A Toast To Our New House

Friday Fun Link – So…What’d You Do Today?

Nothing much, just bought a house! 😉 (Er, obviously this is a story months and really, years, in the making but I’m sure I’ll get to the full story soon.  For now, I’m heading to bed after a *very* long day!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Spirit of the West Full Concert (June 2015)

Obviously I wasn’t at this concert but I was at Spirit of the West’s Regina show around the same time (same tour?) after John Mann’s diagnosis and this is a pretty good capture of the mixed emotions of that show – joy, sadness, awe, fear.
