Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Hyatt Ziva (March 2019)

We had hoped to book Hyatt Ziva (our favourite resort we’ve ever stayed at) for this year’s trip but couldn’t make it work since this year’s trip is going to be not just my immediate family but my parents and my sister and her family and there weren’t enough rooms left to accommodate us all […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – For Weddings and a Funeral (August 2008)

Hard to believe that fifteen years ago we were at Shea’s cousin’s wedding and took this photo of three girls (also cousins) she’d basically raised from babies with our baby. Sadly, the last time we would see the sister on the left was at the sister on the right’s wedding earlier this summer. She was […]

Saturday Snap – Tough Day at the Office!

Been sick the past couple days but dragged my ass into work as I had a big event on. I texted Shea to ask if she was going to bring the kids and she replied “I feel like absolute crap. I did a Covid test and it negative but I feel like I was hit […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – First Rapid Tests (March 2021)

We were lucky that Shea is a nurse as we got early access to rapid tests before they were widely distributed to the general public. No way to know for sure but I feel like that was part of why we may have been able to avoid Covid as long as we did – anytime […]

Music Monday – “And now, breathe deep/I’m inhaling/You and I, there’s air in between/Leave me be/I’m exhaling”

I’d seen the original viral clip of Maggie Rogers with Pharrell but it didn’t really register at the time. I even told my sister I wasn’t familiar when my sister recently mentioned her and her husband were big fans (“travel the US to see her, name their new dog after her” level fans) and I […]
