There’s no two ways about it – this has been one of the toughest years of our lives. Shea and I have dealt with a family member being diagnosed with, treated for, and living with all the fallout from a fairly serious form of cancer, numerous deaths of people who were connected to us – […]
It wasn’t intentional but posting “Merry Christmas (I Don’t Wanna Fight)” by the Ramones yesterday got me thinking about ways family members might disagree on important topics at this time of year: Jason vs. Shea: When to put up the tree. Me: November 12. Her: Early December. Compromise: usually late November. Shea vs. Jason: How to […]
Hard to believe we’ve been going to the Regina Public Library Kids Christmas Party for ten years. (Well, Sasha hasn’t been going that long but her brother’s been going since he was a baby!) …and you might see a bit of it in our family pic but here’s a better short of the beautiful “Bookmas […]
Took Sasha to the local community association’s Santa Breakfast this morning. (Shea had already eaten by the time we remembered it was on and Pace, being the typical pre-teen he is, said he didn’t want to come.)

With Shea in Halifax for a conference this week, it’s got me thinking of our last trip to the east coast when we visited Newfoundland for 10 days to attend a friend’s wedding and be tourists checking out the amazing sights. We’d briefly talked about me going to join her for a few days before […]
Went out to Indian Head today for an early Thanksgiving supper with Shea’s parents and my parents plus us and the kids. And since it’s that time of the year, here’s a list… 10 Things I’m Thankful For That we get to have Thanksgiving supper with all four grandparents. Many people I know aren’t so […]
Who knew when we went parasailing at the Beach Palace (a sister resort to the Moon Palace where we were staying) last winter that we’d end up taking a picture of the resort we’d be staying at the following winter? But almost as soon as we got home from our amazing two-week getaway last year, […]
