No words for me to quote in the title of this week’s post like I usually do. But the epic choral and instrumental music is a perfect soundtrack for this awesome video as Shea and I are down to around a month or so until our baby comes!

Friday Fun Link – Amazing Sound & Water Experiment
This is pretty cool…
Friday Fun Link – Beards Keep You Young, Healthy & Handsome Says Science #skndpldr
As we head into the first day of the Sask NDP Leadership Convention, I thought I’d post a fun article (h/t to GG) on behalf of the members of Team Meili, most of whom who are of the Y chromosome persuasion, will be sporting beards of varying degrees of length and lushness this weekend. Very […]

Although I found it an interesting piece of writing with potentially some good points being made about the stigma of mental illness and the struggles of families trying to deal with it, […]
