Shea’s cousin’s son was profiled by the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital for National Epilepsy Awareness Day. Rylan’s seizures started at the young age of two.

Five Highlights of Our @hyattzivacancun Vacation

Last year, I did a list of 10 highlights of our winter vacation. We stayed at Moon Palace for two weeks instead of one week like we did at Hyatt Ziva this year so I think the math works out if I only do a list of five highlights instead of ten. 😉 First View […]

Five Topics of The Holidays

I realised that our social calendars this holiday season were as full as they’ve been in years due to a little miracle called “Pace Gets His Home Alone & Babysitting Certification”. So compared to other years where we had the hassle and expense of lining up babysitters if we wanted to go out, this year, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Over The Years
