Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Six – Friday Fun Link – How Different Would E.T. Be In The 21st Century? #ftrw

Shea and I have been showing the kids a lot of our favourite movies from when we were growing up – “Dirty Dancing” to “Adventures in Babysitting” to “Airplane!” – movies that both of us remember being allowed to watch by our parents at relatively young ages with no censorship or restrictions (*maybe* I’d […]

Happy Birthday Shea!

I’m a bit behind on my daily blog posts so catching up on the ones I missed since Wednesday starting with a very important one. (Apparently new boots are the secret to life, the universe and everything!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stuck in Snow (January 2010)

We’ve had a lot of snow this year and one big advantage of our new house is having an attached garage so we don’t have to shovel/scrape/dig out like at our old house (which had a detached garage but which we rarely used since it was: a) full of junk b) behind the house and […]

Saturday Snap – Sticky Situation

How does this happen? Well, one bottle is our home bottle, one was brought back from the lake at the end of summer and is still not used up and one was accidentally opened by a kid who doesn’t look very hard to see if there are any other open bottles anywhere!

Saturday Snap – Snow Day? What’s That?

We had a bit of a surprise waiting for us when we opened our front door after the big snow/wind storm earlier this week. In fact, pretty much our whole house was caked in snow like this – pretty cool effect – almost like living in a snow globe!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – NHL Heritage Classic (October 2019)

The abbreviated, Covid-impacted 2021 NHL season began yesterday but it really begins tonight as my Calgary Flames begin their season with rematch of the NHL Heritage Classic that was held in Regina just over a year ago (or about a decade ago by Covid time!)

Saturday Snap – A Pretty “Big” Milestone

Considering all he does is eat and sleep, it’s not surprising. But still a bit shocking to see our teenager is suddenly taller than his mom – feels like he grew three inches in the last month! He has three tall grandparents and one shorter one – Shea’s average height and I’m relatively tall (6’2″) […]

FutureMe: Letters To The Future

I recently heard about this site that lets you write letters to yourself at some point in the future. The idea is for teachers to use it with students, grandparents with grandkids, spouses to each other or pretty much any combination you can think of. You have the option to make your letter public but […]
