Saturday Snap – Welcome Home Mom!

With Shea being away for a week away at a conference, I had visions of having the kids show up at the airport dishevelled, dirty, and with funny signs to welcome their mom home. Unfortunately, Pace’s sense of humour is a bit different than mine so he went with a more traditional sign and only […]

Music Monday – “It’s not such a scary time for boys/They’ve always had the upper hand, they’ve always had a choice/It’s time for women to rise up, use our collective voice/The day to vote is Nov 6th so let’s go make some noise”

Secular Sunday – How Secular Family Values Stack Up

Especially with what we’re seeing in the States with an alleged pedophile endorsing an accused rapist [edit: Kavanagh’s story is blowing up tonight with two new accusers coming forward and *way* worse allegations] who was picked by a serial adulterer (among Trump’s many other mortal sins) – all as part of the party of “family values” – […]
