Saturday Snap – Old-Fashioned #Saskatchewan Saturday Night

My daughter doesn’t realise that when her dad was growing up, before the Internet and the 500-channel universe, TV bingo and polka parties were literally the only forms of entertainment available (no wonder I became such a big reader!) 😉 We re-created a small-town Saskatchewan Saturday night at our house tonight: Playing (fake) TV Bingo… […]

Saturday Snap – 90% of the Reason We Moved?

You Know You’re A Nerd When…

…one of the best things you get as a “Christmas gift” is a literature organizer you pick up off Kijiji from an accounting office on your way home from work Christmas Eve at a fraction of what a new one would’ve cost! Plus you get to be *really* excited about organizing all your various papers […]

Saturday Snap – Elfis?

Last year, we gave in and bought a stupid Dollar Store “Elf on a Shelf” rip-off to move around every night for Sasha. Turned out it was actually kind of fun coming up with scenarios and jokes for the little guy and I might’ve got more enjoyment out of it than she did! This year, […]
