Pace's First Birthday!

After waking to ominous grey skies, we made the call to keep the party at Nickle Lake rather than moving into Grandpa and Grandma Thompson's house in Weyburn for Pace's birthday.  We were rewarded with a beautiful, sunny (if a bit windy) day with a great turnout for the party, delicious burgers and hot dogs […]

"[We] discussed who had learned to drive on a tractor [answer: almost everyone, including me]"

Well, the conference is over for another year!  We finished off the joint SLA-MLA conference with a great social event at the Cathedral Village Free House where I was finally able to meet Jessamyn West. Well, that's not quite true – I've “met” her before but this was the first time meeting her in person.  […]

"All My Hard Work Out The Window"

Free-Range Parenting (aka "Parents These Days!")

Shea's on a mommy board (er, an online message board for moms if that's not clear) where they're currently having a discussion about “free range parenting”.This is the idea that you should allow your children lots of freedom to explore, learn and become self-reliant (ie. presumably the way that many of us grew up.)  From […]
