Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Saturday Snap – Spot The Puppy

Sasha buried me in blankets and toys the other night and I swear there’s a puppy in this photo too though he may be hard to spot…

Agribition Supervision

With my criminal record check approved, I was off to be a parent chaperone for Sasha’s class visit to Agribition today. (Good thing it was approved as I had a few moments of “Oh-oh – that’ll get you on a list!” during the day – from accidentally leaving the house with my fly down to […]

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Toasting Our New House (November 2019)

This week was the three year “house-iversary” of us moving into our new place.  Cheers to us!

Happy House-iversary To Us!

Hard to believe we’ve been in our house for three years today.  And what a wildly unexpected three years it’s been! Of course we didn’t know it at the time but when we ended up moving to a house that was a little newer, a little bigger and a little better than the starter home […]

Secular Sunday – Decorated For Christmas Today…

The top decoration is one my mother-in-law stuck onto the back of my car at Christmastime years ago (and yes, I think I drove around for a week or more before noticing it!) The other one is a camping neighbour from when we had a seasonal site at Echo Lake Regional Park.  I made the […]

Saturday Snap – Tumbleweeds in the Tylenol Aisle

Good thing the pandemic’s over or else I’d worry about this shortage of children’s medicine! (Funny story – we’re out of kids’ meds at home too and Sasha’s been sick a lot lately so Shea asked the pharmacist and managed to snag a mini-bottle of kids’ Tylenol.  Then we got home and didn’t see it […]

The World Is Nuts (aka What’s Keeping Me Sane These Days?)

One of the questions I answer in my annual “End of Year” meme questionnaire is “What kept you sane this year?” It’s a bit early but it’s been a rough year (and a very rough month) for a variety of reasons I may or may not expand on someday.  But anyhow, I thought I’d post […]
