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. 🙂
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!
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… […]
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 […]

But honestly, for our move, I found that using an online To Do manager with different lists for things like “Timeline”, “To Buy”, “To Pack”, “To Fix – Old House”, “To Fix – New House”, “Contact Info”, etc. (but […]
Our realtor had a photographer come to our old/current house today to take photos in preparation for our house being listed later this week and it brought home, perhaps more than any other step, that soon, the house we’ve called a home for fifteen years will likely soon no longer be ours. As excited as […]
I think I’ve probably posted this old viral video before but as we prep to move into our new house, it felt appropriate for a few reasons – the title “Home” obviously but also for how it reminds me of Sasha who’s increasingly into music and has taken to making up her own songs to […]
