Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Homemade “Baby’s Coming!” Photoshoot (April 2013)

The Scottish runs deep in me so I was too cheap to do a professional photoshoot when Shea was pregnant with baby #2. Instead, using our camera’s timer, a tripod, and the poor lighting in our basement, we did our own photos (which turned out to be only a couple days before Sasha was born!) […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grade Eight Graduation (May 2007)

This little baby is about to graduate Grade Eight in a couple weeks! (And my mask is very fashionable – who knew that fourteen years later, I’d be wearing one every day!) 😉 And yes, the rotating seasonal display in the alcove at the entrance to our house has become a temporary shrine to the […]

Eric Carle, Author of “The Hungry Caterpillar” Among Many Other Classics, Has Died

Very sad news. We had a “Hungry Caterpillar” themed birthday when Sasha turned one that was a huge hit – great decorations (mostly homemade or from the Dollar Store), a “Hungry Caterpillar” dress ordered off Etsy, and her (at the time) five year old brother even did a reading of “The Hungry Caterpillar” using a […]

Saturday Snap – High School Bound

Pace brought home his application form for high school yesterday and that’s a bit hard to believe!

Throwback Thursday – Locked in The Camper (August 2015)

I told this story soon after it happened but now, five years later, it also qualifies to be a “Throwback Thursday” post as well. At the time, we were at Shea’s parents’ campsite getting ready for supper and no one was paying much attention to Sasha in the camper as people bustled in and out. […]

Happy 13th Birthday to Our Teenager!

Hard to believe our first born turns 13 today! His timing is good too – his younger sister was very angry that she had to have a virtual birthday last month but now that covid restrictions are loosening up a bit and we can have “family bubbles”, Pace got not only an in-person instead of […]

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), […]

(Belated) Throwback Thursday – #tbt – That’s A Switch! (April 2008)

Pace used his saved up birthday/Christmas/babysitting money to buy himself a $500 Nintendo Switch the other day – a long ways from when he was a year old and having fun on the $50 desktop computer I bought from Southeast Regional Library after they decommissioned it.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go #Flames Go (December 2007)

My son has been a Flames fan since his first Christmas in 2007. I’ve been a fan a bit longer – I’m not sure when I switched from the Islanders being my favourite team to the Flames (mid-90’s?) but my fandom definitely clicked into overdrive in 2001 when Shea and I moved to Calgary and […]
