We’ve had a blue and silver themed tree since we lived in Calgary when those colours fit into our condo’s young hip colour scheme. 😉 Now that we’re older and more mature, we thought it was finally time to change to a warmer colour scheme that better matched the colours in our home (also decorations were […]

Remembrance Day Takes Many Forms

Remembrance Day is when I think of my Grandpa Peet, a WWII veteran more than any day of the year. And he was at the front of my thoughts even more than usual over the last couple days with the news that one of his three remaining siblings, my Great Uncle Bobby, had passed away in […]

10 “Must Have” Things I Look For In An All-Inclusive Resort
