In Treatment
Part 2 Being diagnosed with cancer was a life changing, life interrupting, life crippling event. In the hours, days, weeks after hearing those terrifying words, “you have cancer”, I plunged into a deep depression. I lost all ability to control my life, manage my thoughts, basically function as a mother and wife. I was broken.… Continue reading In Treatment
Microwave Popcorn Makeover
I am always on the look out for healthy snack ideas for me and my family.

But who thinks of winter tires in August or September? I’m certain the first time I would have thought of tires would have been… Continue reading Baby Needs New Shoes

As time passed and we kept talking about it they… Continue reading Locks of Love
Summer Vacation (part 2) Good-bye Summer!
And the road trip continued. We drove from Osoyoos to Penticton and parked at the Wright’s Beach Campground . It’s a nice campground on Skaha Lake with large trees and a great beach for the kids. They play movies 2 nights a week in the grassy field, weather permitting and have organized games. If you “like”… Continue reading Summer Vacation (part 2) Good-bye Summer!
