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!

Winter Wonderland

I think Shea and I are going to enjoy having a beautiful green white space outside our back door in our new house!

Saturday Snap – Daddy-Daughter Night

Shea had a very long day and Pace is both pretty introverted and a stereotypical teenager so it’s hard to get him out of the house at the best of times. That meant Sasha and I had a daddy-daughter date to The Artesian’s “Holiday Sing-a-long” Thursday night which was great fun.

Throwback Thursday – First Glimpse of Our New House (September 2019)

For the last few years, Shea and I have been occasionally “kicking the tires” on houses that caught our eye.  We were looking for something a bit bigger, something a bit newer, something a bit more fully featured than the 1977 starter home we bought fifteen years ago. When we went to see another house […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Home Inspection (December 2004)

“Home For Sale – Calgary Version” (And A List of Places I’ve Lived)

Here’s a pic of me with our realtor’s sign when we sold the condo we owned in Calgary in October 2004 and with the pending move (basically two nights left in our current home!), it’s got me thinking back on other places I’ve laid my head… 0-5 (?) – my parents live in a rental […]

Five Things We’ll Miss About Our House

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 […]

Music Monday – “Ah, home, let me come home/Home is wherever I’m with you”

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 […]

Friday Fun Link – So…What’d You Do Today?

Nothing much, just bought a house! 😉 (Er, obviously this is a story months and really, years, in the making but I’m sure I’ll get to the full story soon.  For now, I’m heading to bed after a *very* long day!)
