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! đŸ˜‰

Music Monday – “Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars/Place your head on my beating heart/I’m thinking out loud/That maybe we found love right where we are”

Didn’t post this weekend as I was away at my brother-in-law’s wedding… “Thinking Out Loud” – Ed Sheeran

The Story of a Bedtime

So tonight was fairly routine at the start… Pace has his snack while watching videos on the iPad. Shea reads Sasha a story and then nurses her before putting her to bed. Sasha immediately starts crying in her crib as she’s been doing lately. I go check on Sasha and she’s got a wet diaper […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Maid of the Mist, Niagara Falls (Summer 2006)

Shea and I got to Niagara Falls a couple times during the year I spent in Ontario completing my MLIS.  This was during our summer visit…

Friday Fun Link – 10 Random Thoughts About Christmas This Year

At our house, Santa doesn’t wrap the presents.  This provides a few main advantages – makes things quicker to get set-up if you haven’t pre-wrapped the gifts, prevents awkward “Why does Santa use the same wrapping paper as mommy and daddy?” questions, and allows the kids to get an immediate jolt when they first glimpse […]

Saturday Snap – She Really Likes Cookies

I wouldn’t recommend letting kids play around the stove normally. But it was pretty cute when Shea turned the oven light on to show Sasha the baking cookies and Sasha spontaneously kissed the glass!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – @OfficialRPL Christmas Party (December 2009)

Hard to believe that this weekend will be the seventh RPL Christmas Party I’ve attended. Here’s some pics from one of the first ones I attended back in 2009… Pace and his daddy in one of my favourite ever pictures of the two of us…   The assembled kids and parents watching a magician perform […]

Saturday Snap – Candy Cane Lane #yqr

As a follow-up to my post about SparkleTour.ca, Shea and I ended up doing a mini-sparkle tour in the north end last night after running a couple errands. One of our stops was an area called Candy Cane Lane where the residents of the Normanview community are encouraged to decorate their homes for Christmas.  One […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Ever Wanna Live in a Castle?

Shea and I kinda did when you look at the design of the Valhalla View condos we bought a unit in while we lived in Calgary in the early 2000’s. It was a pretty cool, executive-style condo in an awesome location close to “The Red Mile“. Ours was a unit on the left side of […]
