Comparing The Cuts: Cornwall Alternative School and Saskatchewan’s Public Libraries #skpoli

I was having some bad flashbacks over the past few days after the Sask Party released their budget last week that included an unexpected, unnecessarily cruel cut. But instead of cutting funding to public libraries and threatening to destroy a 100-year old, world-leading system like they did two years ago, the Sask Party targeted Cornwall […]

National Purple Day for Epilepsy Awareness

Shea’s cousin’s son was profiled by the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital for National Epilepsy Awareness Day. Rylan’s seizures started at the young age of two. They indicated something serious, but at that point nobody knew it would take such a toll on his future development and quality of life. As his mom Jacqui helplessly observed […]

Saturday Snap – A Very Appropriately Named Board Game

The kids are obviously living up to the title of the board game by beating their parents pretty handily in a game of “Beat The Parents” tonight. 🙂

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #5 – Sociability

Okay, let’s resume the series I started before we left for Mexico where I write about some of the major things that have impacted the person I am today. The first four were my parents, my friends, books and travel (I won’t link to them here as I’ll probably do a master list at the […]

Friday Fun Link – Library on the Beach?

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #4 – Travel

Not sure if I’ll end up blogging much when we’re in Mexico next week but I thought making “travel” #4 in this series would be a good way to head into our holiday either way. The funny part is that my love of travel actually starts from a weird piece of family trivia – I […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #3 – Books

If I’m doing a list of the 10 things that had the strongest influence in who I’ve become at the midpoint of my life, it’s telling that the thing I jump to as the third most influential thing in my entire life, after family and after friends, is books. In fact, I could probably do […]
