Saturday Snap – A Pretty “Big” Milestone

Considering all he does is eat and sleep, it’s not surprising. But still a bit shocking to see our teenager is suddenly taller than his mom – feels like he grew three inches in the last month! He has three tall grandparents and one shorter one – Shea’s average height and I’m relatively tall (6’2″) […]

The Covid Continuum

As Saskatchewan adds more restrictions, mostly on retailers in the post-Christmas period, I’m thinking a lot about how everyone is somewhere different on what I think of as the “Covid Continuum”. I’d say the range for this starts with anyone who’s absolutely minimized their outings since March – maybe only leaving the house to buy […]

A Visual Representation of 2020 for Christmas?

Sasha tested out her new Christmas makeup on me and I realised this process made a good analogy for 2020 in general… * it was unexpected, sort of weird and occasionally scary * it looks like somebody got beat up (or possibly has a communicable disease) * I had my eyes closed for most of […]
