Happy 9th Birthday Pace!

Pace had his (real) birthday last Thursday on May 19 and it’s been a crazy, fun-filled weekend since then. (Speaking of “crazy, fun-filled weekends”, Shea and I live in dread of having a kid who has his birthday on May long weekend when he gets older!) 😉 On his actual birthday, we had a nice […]

Some Nerd Tracked His Drinking For A Full Year

And no, it wasn’t me! But it’s got me thinking about what a full project this could be! (This guy was more focused on consumption but I think it’d be more interesting/useful to track what you drink as as well as how much!) (via r/dataisbeautiful)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Vegas Baby (March 2009)

My parents won a trip to Vegas back in 2009 which happened to coincide with a week Shea and I had booked off but planned to just spend at home as a staycation. But when we heard their news, we decided it was karma and we had to go with them. So, along with our […]

Music Monday – “Right here/Right now/Watching the world wake up from history”

Barack Obama made history today as the first US President to visit Cuba in 60 years. I was trying to think of a good song to post to commemorate this moment – perhaps a popular Cuban song or a recent hit by a Cuban-American rap/dance artist? But then I remembered this song about the fall […]

Saturday Snap – Happy Anniversary to Me!

I had to work this weekend so Shea took the kids to spend a couple days enjoying the beautiful +13 weather at her parents’ house in Weyburn. I can’t decide if getting to go to the Bushwakkers for supper tonight (which we rarely get to since it’s a pub with a “no kids allowed” policy) […]

Music Monday – “You can get yourself clean/You can have a good meal/You can do whatever you feel…”

Guess where we spent Family Day? 😉 (This is becoming an annual tradition – I think we also went last year since “the Y” does a great thing on Family Day by opening their doors and having free swimming (which we skipped this year) and a variety of other free activities – play structure, bouncy castle, […]

Music Monday – “When your day is long/And the night, the night is yours alone/When you’re sure you’ve had enough/Of this life, well hang on”

Today is “Blue Monday”, allegedly the saddest day of the year due to a mix of distance from Christmas, weather and credit cards coming due (although it’s actually just a random day picked to help sell winter vacations.) I thought about posting “Blue Monday” by New Order but that song actually makes me quite happy. So this is […]
