Music Monday – “I can almost smell the perfumed nights/And see the starry sky/I wish you comin’ with me baby/’Cause right before my eye”

Isn’t the Internet amazing? I heard this song on my random “Flow” playlist the other day.  It’s a song from 1977 by an obscure New Zealand band that I’d never heard before but it felt fitting even though we’re going to Mexico instead of Cuba, leaving in February instead of April, but hoping for sun […]

Saturday Snap – Hecho En Mexico

Just over one week until we leave for Mexico.  I bought some cane sugar-infused goodness to mark the occasion…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – WS2412 (February 2019)

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.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Little Beer Shot in Mexico (February 2019)

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 […]

Saturday Snap – Staycation

Maybe not quite as nice as the all-inclusive Mexican resort I posted yesterday. But our “staycation” at the recently re-branded Atlas Hotel & Waterpark in Regina with both sets of grandparents was quite a fun way to spend Saturday night!

Music Monday – “Good job getting the bags ready/Take your time/Take your time”

A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee

Saturday Snap – Elfis?

Last year, we gave in and bought a stupid Dollar Store “Elf on a Shelf” rip-off to move around every night for Sasha. Turned out it was actually kind of fun coming up with scenarios and jokes for the little guy and I might’ve got more enjoyment out of it than she did! This year, […]

Friday Fun Link – My New Christmas Movie Tradition?

I was in the habit of watching *Love Actually” every December but last year I didn’t get to it and instead I watched this which has nothing to do with Christmas but, since I watched it right before Christmas, still managed to feel like a Christmas movie if that makes sense?

Music Monday – “Christmas Eve will find me/Where the love light gleams/I’ll be home for Christmas/If only in my dreams”

I can’t believe I’ve never posted this song before – one of the most absolutely beautiful, heart-wrenching Christmas songs of all-time. And so appropriate these days too. We’re extremely excited for our first Christmas in our new house of course. But it also comes with mixed emotions knowing that a decision we made only two […]
