Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Traditions (December 2007)

Feeling sentimental knowing we won’t have Christmas here this year, I was looking through my oldest photos for a picture of one of our first Christmases at our current house. Unfortunately, since we bought our house in 2004 and our first digital camera in 2006 (and all our old-school photo albums are in boxes somewhere), […]

“It Smells Like Piss Water and the Starch From Noodles Boiling”

So after a month or so of pretty heavy holiday season indulgence with a variety of  delicious craft beers, I’ve switched to this delightful “dad beer” for the foreseeable future. Yum?

There have been some funny […]

I realised that our social calendars this holiday season were as full as they’ve been in years due to a little miracle called “Pace Gets His Home Alone & Babysitting Certification”. So compared to other years where we had the hassle and expense of lining up babysitters if we wanted to go out, this year, […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Over The Years

I whipped together this montage fairly quickly right before Christmas to show everybody on Christmas Eve. It’s not my best work – my first attempt ended up with the music I picked not working properly.  Then I tried to use YouTube’s Creative Commons music but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to […]
