Happy House-iversary To Us!

Hard to believe we’ve been in our house for three years today.  And what a wildly unexpected three years it’s been! Of course we didn’t know it at the time but when we ended up moving to a house that was a little newer, a little bigger and a little better than the starter home […]

Saturday Snap – Tumbleweeds in the Tylenol Aisle

Good thing the pandemic’s over or else I’d worry about this shortage of children’s medicine! (Funny story – we’re out of kids’ meds at home too and Sasha’s been sick a lot lately so Shea asked the pharmacist and managed to snag a mini-bottle of kids’ Tylenol.  Then we got home and didn’t see it […]

There’s A Lot of Bad News in Hockey These Days…

…and with horrible accusations and scandals right now involving Hockey Canada, the Oiler’s farm team’s head trainer, Tampa Bay Lightning d-man Ian Cole, the Chicago Blackhawks, and more, the attention is very warranted.
