Saturday Snap – Family (Un)Literacy Night: Some Highlights

Walked Sasha over to her school’s Family Literacy Night earlier this week and we didn’t even read one story at the “Reading Activity Station” but we sure had fun playing with the stuffed animals and telling stories using crazy voices. One mom sort of glared at us goofing around and I was this close to […]

Saturday Snap – Healthy Snack?

When you wake up from a nap and see your daughter has left you a healthy snack consisting of…a fruit roll-up and a Werther’s candy. 🙂

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Little Beer Shot in Mexico (February 2019)

I’ve hinted at it in a couple recent posts but, with one month exactly until our departure date, I’m happy to say that we’ve decided to go back to Mexico again this winter! It was obviously a lot more touch & go with that whole “buying a new house” thing this year and up until […]

Fossilized Opal Dinosaur Tooth

Considering I barely passed Geology 101 with a 51% to get my undergrad science credit (whew!), I spend a lot of time these days thinking about dinosaurs, geologic time, and the makeup of our planet. I know we’re hardwired for it as a species but I also think a lot about how all humans (hi!) […]

Saturday Snap – Staycation

Maybe not quite as nice as the all-inclusive Mexican resort I posted yesterday. But our “staycation” at the recently re-branded Atlas Hotel & Waterpark in Regina with both sets of grandparents was quite a fun way to spend Saturday night!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When Politics Gets Hairy (January 2013)

Went to a meeting of my local constituency association tonight and was very impressed, not just with the big turnout on a frigid night but some of the numbers I’m hearing about fundraising and volunteers. Not sure if I’ll ever have as much fun as I did being part of the Ryan Meili leadership campaign […]

Saturday Snap – 90% of the Reason We Moved?

Okay, maybe not 90% of the reason but having a two car attached garage is pretty nice after fifteen years of parking on the street, scraping windows all winter and not one but two cars totalled while parked on the street (one kid who hit my car fessed up, one was a hit & run […]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Month/Year/Decade (and I already screwed up the time stamp of a scheduled post so this didn’t go up right at 12:01am like I hoped but instead, was going to wait until January 12 to show up – oops!)
