Friday Fun Link – Pandemic Grocery List

I’ve heard stories about the chaos but I freaked myself out a bit when I hit a grocery store on the way home as it truly looked like the zombie apocalypse had already begun… The obligatory shot of the depleted toilet paper aisle… Luckily, I’d forgotten that my neighbourhood store had been planning a renovation […]

Not Sure I’m Doing International Women’s Day Right…

…but I did let Sasha do my make-up today, I have a bit more understanding of how much work it is to be a woman (plus now I look amazing!) 😉

Saturday Snap – My Own Corona Virus

This was my view one week ago today. I admit that I was a bit nervous heading to the airport the next day as the Coronavirus seemed to blow up big (in news coverage if not actual cases) during out week in Mexico but our flight went ahead so, (un)fortunately, we weren’t stranded in Cancun! […]

Friday Fun Link – British vs. Canadian English

Saturday Snap – Off To Mexico…

Two drink-related posts in a row means I’m definitely on holidays! (Also had to commemorate that tequila shots were my wife’s idea tonight, not mine!!!) Some years I continue posting while on holidays and some years I don’t and I honestly have no idea if I’ll blog from Mexico or not but either way, hope […]

Saturday Snap – Family (Un)Literacy Night: Some Highlights

Walked Sasha over to her school’s Family Literacy Night earlier this week and we didn’t even read one story at the “Reading Activity Station” but we sure had fun playing with the stuffed animals and telling stories using crazy voices. One mom sort of glared at us goofing around and I was this close to […]
