Saturday Snap – Tough Birthday Cake Choices

When Sasha was decorating her birthday cake, I’m sure it was just an unfortunate oversight that she had enough letters to write “Unicorn” but not enough to write “Daddy”! 😉

Saturday Snap – A Virtual Birthday Card For Grandpa

Coronavirus is affecting us in ways big and small but one of the worst things is not being able to see the people you love in person anymore. So me and the kids threw together a “Virtual Birthday Card’ for Grandpa Ray as a placeholder until we get to see him in person!     […]

Saturday Snap – Last Pre-Quarantine Photo (and My Personal Covid Timeline/Photo Essay)

There’s a challenge on social media to post the last picture on your camera roll before you entered quarantine. I thought I’d take that challenge but go a step further to post a few photos and significant dates from my own personal COVID timeline… My Personal COVID Timeline Late November – early December 2019 COVID […]

Saturday Snap – Hecho En Mexico

Just over one week until we leave for Mexico.  I bought some cane sugar-infused goodness to mark the occasion…

Saturday Snap – Healthy Snack?

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!
