No More Bedtime

I can’t believe I’m saying this and don’t hate me for it but I’m pretty much done with bedtime. That’s right, no more bedtime!     Ouch, it hurts my heart just a little bit but the truth is that they don’t need me at bedtime as much as they used to. And I’m totally ok with that, or at … Continue reading

April Fools

Giddy up y’all. It’s April! Spring is here and well so is the snow. It’s been a slow start to spring and if you’re like me and just about anyone living in Canada, you’re D-O-N-E with winter. Since it’s so close to April Fools day I thought I would do a little wrap up of some things I wish were … Continue reading

Dear Hilary

Dear Hilary, Today is your 6th birthday, Happy Birthday my love. You are a miracle. We were told you would not likely survive the first hours of life. We were told you would struggle. You defied all those who said you couldn’t or wouldn’t do it. You are a fighter and you are as stubborn as hell and I thank … Continue reading

Dear Abby

Dear Abby, Today is your 6th birthday, Happy Birthday my love. This is a big year for you, but I’ll probably say that every year. You are a short 6 months away from starting grade 1 which means that our half day time together is drawing to a close. You have never been scared or nervous to try new things and … Continue reading

Kids On Vacation

We’re getting closer to spring. Can I get a HELL-YEAH?! I swear, the only thing that gets me thru the winter is a little vacay to break up the monotony of snow and ice. It was SO DAMN COLD here last month. Like I mean, throw a cup of boiling water in the air and it turns instantly into snow … Continue reading

Minted Walls

I don’t have walls. Wait, what? Ok, well, yes, I do have walls, I live in walls, of course. But they’re not my walls. I’ve talked before about how we sold our home that we lived in for 10 years in the hopes for new horizons and how living in a rental house is tough because although there’s no rule … Continue reading

Things to do in Calgary on Family Day

On Monday, in Alberta, it’s the annual Family Day holiday. First celebrated in 1990, it is a day set aside for families to focus on spending time together and it’s not a bad idea to have a break between New Years and Easter! We decided to hit the road and head west for our family day holiday. 4 kids in … Continue reading

Happy Valentines Day

13 years ago on this day, he asked me to marry him. Don’t buy me flowers. Don’t by me chocolates.     All I want is the love of my family…and to go snowboarding! We’re in the mountains today having a much needed family break and hanging with some friends. No fancy dinners or over priced roses, just laughs and … Continue reading

It’s A Twin Thing

I know some people who have twins that look and act so much alike the parents have a hard time telling them apart. Others have twins that look and act like polar opposites. Twins that cannot be apart from one another for fear of total emotional collapse. Twins are a fascinating phenomena. Our twins are identical, which means they started … Continue reading
