Sasha loves her birthday present…        

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Before Target, There Was Zellers (September 2009)

Target is now closed for good in Regina after teaching a lesson in how not to run a business.  (I still remember reading an interview with some Target big wig right before they opened who said something like: “Oh, we don’t intend to have lower prices than our competition.  We’ll price to match the market.”) Even if […]

26 Cruel & Funny Lies Parents Told Their Kids

I’ve had many of these told to me by my parents and now, I’m doing the same to my kids – it’s the circle of life! 😉    

Saturday Snap – Some More Dominican Republic Pics (From A Waterproof Camera)

My waterproof camera started acting up halfway through the trip – not quite dead but definitely not working well either.  So once it started being tempermental, I stopped using it in the water.

Saturday Snap – Farewell to #PuntaCana #grandpalladium

We’ll likely get a fuller album up on Facebook eventually but here’s one shot of us from the week taken by the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Tropical Vacation History

Some people go every year, some people go whenever they can afford it, and some people will never go to one, thinking they’re fake, inauthentic holidays. Shea and I are in that middle category – though we don’t go every year [edit: I lied – as of January 2020, we’ve been five years in a […]

Music Monday – “Everyday’s not Valentine’s/But you make it feel like most of the time/When I’m all alone with you.”

Michael Franti used this video to propose to his girlfriend who happens to be a nurse from Saskatchewan which Shea informs me are two of the best qualities a woman can have! 😉
