Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Little Kids, Little Problems; Big Kids, Big Problems (April 2013)

When Sasha was born, we had a little baby shower in the Outreach Unit and a couple coworkers who had much older kids shared a piece of wisdom I’ve thought of often: “Little kids, little problems; big kids, big problems.” Little problems like teething and dirty diapers eventually get replaced by driver’s licenses and love […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – iPad (May 2010)

Had a long conversation tonight with retired RPL Deputy Director, Julie McKenna when she happened to be attending a program at the branch I was working at.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Fair Haired at the Fair (June 2013)

Saturday Snap – Jorts!

Nothing makes the camping season official like me wearing jorts for the first time!  (This year, we even were able to get into our seasonal site one week earlier than usual due to the lack of snow over the winter and the park crew being ahead of schedule with annual maintenance – yay!)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Safety First? (May 2013)

Pace wanted to wear a helmet to be safe one of the first times he cut the grass in our old house but apparently, the open-toed sandals weren’t on either of our radars as a potential safety issue!
