We live on the west, west coast of BC. Where our temps rarely fall below zero, and when they do it is considered “too cold” to go out. Being born and raised here I couldn’t imagine a winter where I […]
My hubby is an import model. He was "Made in England" in the 70's and came to Canada in 1999. Marriage, kids and life is here now, although there is still a little "Brit" left in …
It's true people. I have bad days. I have days when I am bitchy, and irritable. I have days when I am just lethargic and don't want to do the laundry. I have days when I pout. …

Today I am taking time with my family. We will head outdoors and play together, and laugh and love our life. We will gaze around at our beautiful surroundings and appreciate our life. We will sweat, …
Some weeks you stumble and fumble through. Feeling like you are fighting the current, struggling against an unseen force. Some weeks? Well, this past week that's for sure. Hubby has had various lingering bugs, the eldest has …
