Take A Day Off
For the past 3 years my hubby and I have been trying to go snowboarding/skiing together for a day. Just 1 day. Alone. With no kids!

Tattoo Tuesday – My Life Motto
Welcome to another instalment of Tattoo Tuesday. The past 2 years have presented us with some of our most challenging issues of our lives.

TMI Tuesday
You know that “drawer” you have in your room? Come on, you know the one. That place deep in the back of your bed side table or your tall dresser where you put things for safe keeping.

Life Is Good #97
My little babies turned 5 in March! I can’t believe how fast time is flying by. Although the birthday party was a success and fun was had by all, thanks to Petland and Nana’s spectacular cakes; later that evening we were rushing Hilary to the Children’s Hospital via 911 and an ambulance. Long story short,… Continue reading Life Is Good #97
