You should probably be skeptical of everything you read on the Internet, check who it is posting (a named doctor or an anonymous account), etc.] Pointing out a contraction of anti-mask “logic”… This year […]

Music Monday – “Everybody’s got the fever/That is something you all know/Fever isn’t such a new thing/Fever started long ago”

I’m home with a sick kid today (plus had ice cream for breakfast as I have a sore throat myself!) so a rough couple of months in terms of family health continues… Ironically, we only dealt with Covid once (Pace for a week in early October) and, knock on wood, no one else in the […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Camp Hope (October 2021)

Just over a year ago in mid-October, I saw a friend post on social media that a tent city was being set up in Pepsi Park in Regina and looking for donations. We had an extra tent so I took it down and briefly spoke to some of the organizers (including my friend by phone […]

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 […]
