It’s sort of funny to think about how we’ve flown to the Cancun International Airport a handful of times over the past few years and it’s always the same WestJet flight we take every single year since we go the same week leaving and returning on the same day.
Walked Sasha over to her school’s Family Literacy Night earlier this week and we didn’t even read one story at the “Reading Activity Station” but we sure had fun playing with the stuffed animals and telling stories using crazy voices. One mom sort of glared at us goofing around and I was this close to […]
Tim works at RPL (I know “works at RPL” conflicts with the title of this post but he works here in the same way that a retired 65 year old might pick up a part-time job at a local retailer to keep busy/do something they enjoy/make some “mad money” to supplement their savings.) Anyhow, a […]
Wednesday was Bell Media’s “Let’s Talk” Day which promotes removing the stigma around mental health by talking about it. While the idea behind it is a good and admirable one, there are also some things that make it quite problematic, especially when its a private corporation rather than government or non-profits working in that area […]
I’ve hinted at it in a couple recent posts but, with one month exactly until our departure date, I’m happy to say that we’ve decided to go back to Mexico again this winter! It was obviously a lot more touch & go with that whole “buying a new house” thing this year and up until […]

Like many kids of the 1980’s, Star Wars was a pretty major part of my childhood. The first “Star Wars” movie (later […]
It’s crazy how people make probably the single biggest financial decision of their lives based on 2-3 viewings of a property and a house inspection that lasts a few hours. I mean, some people might test drive a car more than that! Hell, some people might look at a laptop or other electronic device they’re […]
Okay, maybe not 90% of the reason but having a two car attached garage is pretty nice after fifteen years of parking on the street, scraping windows all winter and not one but two cars totalled while parked on the street (one kid who hit my car fessed up, one was a hit & run […]
…one of the best things you get as a “Christmas gift” is a literature organizer you pick up off Kijiji from an accounting office on your way home from work Christmas Eve at a fraction of what a new one would’ve cost! Plus you get to be *really* excited about organizing all your various papers […]
