Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ever Wanna Live in a Castle?

Shea and I kinda did when you look at the design of the Valhalla View condos we bought a unit in while we lived in Calgary in the early 2000’s. It was a pretty cool, executive-style condo in an awesome location close to “The Red Mile“. Ours was a unit on the left side of […]

Music Monday – “Now when she’s talking to you/Make sure you listen close/Cause she’s gonna teach everything you’ll ever need to know Like how to mind your manners to love and laugh and dream/And she’ll put you on the path/That’ll bring you back to me”

Shea’s lifelong friend, maid of honour, and guardian to Pace and Sasha, had her third baby last night. After having two boys, we were happy to hear that a baby girl, Abby, had joined their family – not least because we can pass along a bunch of clothes and other Sasha goodies to them! 😉 […]

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow may be contrary/But this is now/And then is then.”

This is another annual tradition on this blog. I’m fudging a bit this year as the snow fell overnight from Monday to Tuesday but since it fits better as a Music Monday post, here’s my annual post of one of my favourite Hawksley Workman songs posted on a Tuesday but dated for Monday! 😉 “First […]

Saturday Snap – Santa Tractor

Pace’s first “big” word was “tractor” and we were so impressed, we bought a Christmas yard decoration that year to commemorate the milestone he’d reached earlier that year. Now I’ve set it up for Sasha and guess which word she repeated back to us today? Yep…

Myers-Briggs and Other Personality Tests as Junk Science

I’ve posted about the Myers-Briggs test on this blog before and I’ve referenced it occasionally when talking about my own personality or the personality of others. But the more I read about Myers-Briggs and other similar personality tests, the more I’ve come around to thinking of them like I think of handwriting analysis – a fun parlour […]

Possible Location of Body of Long Missing #yqr Girl, Tamra Keepness Posted to Reddit? @rcmpsk @reginapolice

If this is true, this is one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen on Reddit… A user called “MySecretIsOut” who just joined Reddit today has posted a map on /r/regina and /r/canada which they seem to be claiming would lead to the location of Tamra Keepness, a young woman whose disappearance ten years ago resulted in a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Halloween Costume Surprise

Pace was dressing as Batman for Halloween a couple years ago. I’d thought about buying the obvious costume to surprise him but pre-made costumes are expensive these days and it felt like a lot of money to buy for a one-off surprise. At the same time, how many times to you get to be the sidekick to […]
