I Don’t Want To Brag Or Anything…

…but our entry in the “Decorate for Canada Day” contest at Nickle Lake actually inspired the judges to add and award a second place prize (hat *and* t-shirt, baby!) after they couldn’t decide between ours and the people who ended up winning first place (folding chair *and* folding table). A couple subtle notes about our […]

Five Great Things About This Year’s Seasonal Campsite

It’s going to be hard to top how well everything – weather, neighbours who had kids around our kids’ ages, view – worked out at our seasonal site last year. But having spent the May long weekend at our seasonal site at Nickle Lake Regional Park, we’re off to a pretty good start! Shea’s Parents […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – On National Caesar Day, Is This The Best Wedding Ever? (Summer 2017, Somewhere in Ontario)

Like most good Canadians, I enjoy a good caesar. And since it’s National Caesar Day, I’m going to break from Throwback Thursday tradition and instead of posting one of my own pictures of me drinking a caesar or making a caesar or looking lovingly at a caesar on a restaurant table, I wanted to post an awesome […]

Fire Bans in Place for Sask Provincial Parks South of Churchill River

We didn’t get a fire ban until the end of summer last year. But it’s been crazy dry the last couple years so here we go right at the start of the camping season (and yes, the regional park we’re booked into won’t escape without a fire ban either until some rain comes.) 🙁 Thank goodness […]

Music Monday – “Well I don’t mind wastin’ my time/On this crazy afternoon/I got sunshine and red wine/A friend of mine takin’ it easy”

For the upcoming summer, we weren’t sure whether we’d end up camping at a provincial park like we did last year or if we’d switch to a regional park. Both have advantages and disadvantages but with Shea’s mom undergoing cancer treatment, it made our decision to go to Nickle Lake Regional Park where her folks have […]

Music Monday – “There are things that make me dad/You seem to be all of them.”

I used this song for a montage when Pace turned six but really think of it as “Sasha’s song” since it was the first song I sang to her in the delivery room after she was born. Pace’s first song was more planned – I knew I wanted to play him John Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” […]

My Moon Palace Cancun Review #ThePalaceLife @palaceresorts #allinclusive #holiday

Hard to believe we’ve been home for Cancun three weeks as of today! I’ve been pecking away at this review the past few weeks (and actually started drafting it while in Cancun) but having the Easter long weekend gave me time and incentive to finally finish it! Here you go… A Note on TripAdvisor TripAdvisor […]
