Throwback Thursday – #tbt – And Sometimes We Wear Gloves (June 2012)

I sometimes joke “And sometimes people ever borrow books!” when I think about all the things we have to do as librarians that have nothing to do with people taking out books and then returning the books so that others may enjoy them next. I’m not even going to discuss why someone would have to […]

Music Monday – “There are things that make me dad/You seem to be all of them.”

I used this song for a montage when Pace turned six but really think of it as “Sasha’s song” since it was the first song I sang to her in the delivery room after she was born. Pace’s first song was more planned – I knew I wanted to play him John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” […]

Five Years Ago…

On April 12, 2013, we took a series of family photos knowing that Shea was due in a few weeks. Four days later, Sasha arrived. (Tomorrow’s her actual birthday but we celebrated it today which is why I’m posting this one day early.)

Saturday Snap – California Subs Returns @thecapitol_jazz! (sort of) #yqr

Shea recently saw on FB that two local restaurants – the Capitol Jazz Club and the Lancaster Pub – were re-creating some favourites from the iconic 1990’s Regina sub shop, California Subs – for a limited time. So when we had plans to go out for the evening, it was no question where our first […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – #JerseysForHumboldt (February 2009) #HumboldtStrong #JerseyDay

Today, I wore the same jersey today that I’ve worn for years but for a less happy reason than skating with my son nearly a decade ago…

Music Monday – “I’ve got that whiskey in the eye, my love/You know I’m not afraid to fight/Cause word’s been gettin’ round this town/and I can’t wait another night”

Soon after the Humboldt Broncos accident happened on Friday, I was sure I’d be posting Tom Cochrane’s “Big League” as my Music Monday post this week. But I’ve linked to that song a couple times already – I decided to post it right away on the night of the accident and again yesterday in a […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Farewell Lang’s (and a Funny Sriracha Story) #yqr

Very sad to hear that Lang’s Vietnamese restaurant burned down in an early morning fire yesterday. Along with Bushwakkers and Copper Kettle, Lang’s was one of my three “go to” Regina locations that weren’t just restaurants but local institutions. Way back in 2007, I wrote this about Lang’s in a post about my 10 favourite Regina restaurants: […]

My Moon Palace Cancun Review #ThePalaceLife @palaceresorts #allinclusive #holiday

Hard to believe we’ve been home for Cancun three weeks as of today! I’ve been pecking away at this review the past few weeks (and actually started drafting it while in Cancun) but having the Easter long weekend gave me time and incentive to finally finish it! Here you go… A Note on TripAdvisor TripAdvisor […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Montreal Poutine (April 2006)

During my time at library school, we did as much traveling around Ontario and other destinations in the area including one memorable train trip to Montreal.
