Not Sure I’m Doing International Women’s Day Right…

…but I did let Sasha do my make-up today, I have a bit more understanding of how much work it is to be a woman (plus now I look amazing!) 😉

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – WS2412 (February 2019)

It’s sort of funny to think about how we’ve flown to the Cancun International Airport a handful of times over the past few years and it’s always the same WestJet flight we take every single year since we go the same week leaving and returning on the same day.

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!

Saturday Snap – Old-Fashioned #Saskatchewan Saturday Night

My daughter doesn’t realise that when her dad was growing up, before the Internet and the 500-channel universe, TV bingo and polka parties were literally the only forms of entertainment available (no wonder I became such a big reader!) 😉 We re-created a small-town Saskatchewan Saturday night at our house tonight: Playing (fake) TV Bingo… […]

Saturday Snap – Panda, Panda, Panda!

After our trip to the Calgary Zoo this summer, we had a bit of a panda-theme for some of the kids’ gifts including both a stuffed panda and a panda hat for Sasha. Pretty cute until Pace pointed out that this is actually looks like a living panda has put the skull of another dead […]

Merry Christmas (Eve)!

If it looks like we have a lot of gifts under the tree, you have to remember that in the month of December, I basically wrap anything I would’ve bought anyhow – dish soap, shampoo, the empty box for the slippers I bought because I needed them in September – and use those things to […]
