What better songs to post for Canada Day than a couple tracks from a new Canadian super group called “The Mounties”? The group features Hawksley Workman, one of my favourite Canadian musicians of all-time and the video for their first single contains a few prominent shots of the Canadian flag: “Headphones” – The Mounties …while their […]
What’s that word for when you’re feeling an equal mix of happiness and sadness? That’s what I feel when I look at this photo of Pace waiting for the bus on his last day of kindergarten… (Okay, mostly happy but a twinge of sad!)
I would’ve sworn I posted this video around Pace’s first day of kindergarten but apparently, I only put it on Facebook. So, instead of a rare re-post of a Music Monday song which I thought it would be, this video gets to be posted for the first time here to celebrate Pace’s kindergarten graduation today. […]
Hard to believe Pace is done Kindergarten next week – this year has really flown! He wrote this out without prompting the other day. Obviously, he’s got that alphabet-thing down – bring on spelling! 😉
I did this for Sasha’s one-month anniversary but that was cobbled together quickly and didn’t have dates or even every daily photo that I had in those first 30 days (I was working with limitations of the iPad software I used to make the video.) Anyhow, I’ve done something similar for her two month anniversary and like […]

Regina’s main summer fair is the Queen City Ex in August but there’s a smaller fair that sets up earlier in the summer each year in the parking lot of a random local mall. The wristbands for unlimited rides costs the same as the “big” fair but there’s no gate admission charge and instead of […]
Found this clip buried in a folder on my hard drive… One thing I’ll always remember about this trip to a writing event I helped organize in Medicine Hat in 2002 – why do event organizers (even other writers who should know better!) often provide a huge meal right before an event when the energy […]
Going to Hawaii a year and a half ago was one of the best trips of my life and I’m constantly thinking about when we’ll be able to get back (short answer: probably not for a long time!) But if I can’t get there in person, I can pretend I’m there, even when I’m still […]
Went with Pace while he rode his new birthday bike over to a playground near our house. Along the way, we passed the house of one of his kindergarten classmates who was playing in her front yard and then, at the playground, another classmate happened to be there playing as well. As I sat on […]
