Locks of Love
Today was a big day in our house. My 2 older daughters donated 10 inches of their hair to 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!

Picture it, 4 cute little girls in flowy cotton dresses and sun hats wandering between the rows of fruit trees with their silver pails. Giggling and nibbling on… Continue reading Cherry Pickin’ Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be!

Gratitude Journals
I have to say that the last 4 years have been on the challenging side for my little family culminating with me being diagnosed with cancer in September of 2011. When December 31, 2011 came around I felt a wash of hope come over me. I felt as though a darkness was lifting and the… Continue reading Gratitude Journals
