“Home For Sale – Calgary Version” (And A List of Places I’ve Lived)

Here’s a pic of me with our realtor’s sign when we sold the condo we owned in Calgary in October 2004 and with the pending move (basically two nights left in our current home!), it’s got me thinking back on other places I’ve laid my head… 0-5 (?) – my parents live in a rental […]

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!

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’ll Miss About Our House

Our realtor had a photographer come to our old/current house today to take photos in preparation for our house being listed later this week and it brought home, perhaps more than any other step, that soon, the house we’ve called a home for fifteen years will likely soon no longer be ours. As excited as […]

Music Monday – “Ah, home, let me come home/Home is wherever I’m with you”

I think I’ve probably posted this old viral video before but as we prep to move into our new house, it felt appropriate for a few reasons – the title “Home” obviously but also for how it reminds me of Sasha who’s increasingly into music and has taken to making up her own songs to […]

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!)

RIP John Mann (1964-2019)

It was a long, inevitable farewell. After announcing his Early Onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis in 2014, John Mann, lead singer and frontman of the seminal 90’s Canadiana band, Spirit of the West, embarked on a farewell tour with the band in 2014. Shea and I got to see this show and it reminded me of why, […]
