Ten years ago, Shea and I got married on a beach in the Mayan Riviera during a week long winter holiday as our parents and a handful of other guests looked on. Tomorrow, we leave on a trip to celebrate our 10 year anniversary with a long weekend trip to Winnipeg. Some people would probably […]

Friday Fun (?) Link – What Would It Feel Like For A Man To Be In Labour?

Saturday Snap – Pink or Blue?

Please don’t judge us for taking these pics at Wal-Mart. Their own internal research shows their second biggest category of shoppers is people who loathe themselves for shopping there! (Not even kidding.)
