Saturday Snap – Manitoba Children’s Museum

During our trip to Winnipeg last weekend, we visited the Manitoba Children’s Museum.  One of the highlights for me was seeing that every single exhibit area had picture books scattered around that tied into the theme of that exhibit – the train that you could climb on had transportation books, the exhibit that let you […]

Five Differences Between Christmas Concerts For Pace and The Elementary School-Aged Me

Pace had his first Christmas concert (actually “concerts” – see #5 below) today. That got me thinking about the ways they’ve changed since I was a kid. [Edit: Someone pointed out many of the differences are as much about rural vs. urban approaches as generational which is probably true.] First off, when I was a […]
