We are fixers, the hubby and I. If something is broken, we fix it. Quickly. If the stove is broken, we fix it or replace it. If our life is broken, anywhere, we do the same. But sometimes things can’t […]
You know the old saying "when one door closes, another one opens" Yup, that one. Cliche and all, but true, don't you think. I sit where I am today because of hundreds of closed doors. HUNDREDS. What I …
This spring I attended an event in Edmonton. During the confernce we did a session with the Disney Imagineers. It was all about visual stimulation, finding pictures and then connecting them to yourself. There was one …
My days are pretty much filled with peace and quiet where we live. I say good morning to the family, make lunches, drop kids at the bus, kiss the hubby and go about my day. My …
I am a planner. I like to have a plan, and stick to the plan. I also like to have a back up plan, and a plan for other options, and a plan to include …
Baby animals are cute. Full stop. They ooze cute. So when hubby brought home half a dozen 5 day old ducklings, they oozed their cuteness all over us. He has settled in well to the "Gentleman Farmer" …

We love our island, the home we have built here and the life we are living. We also love that we are continually put in situations where we fall in love with it all over …
Yes, I know perfect is going pretty far here, but we just had a pretty amazing weekend. Sure, there were a few blips in the days (two meltdowns by the 3yr old blip for starters) …
I have been in Vancouver for a week. I had an amazing time. Utterly amazing. But I can't stop smiling as I sit here on the ferry, on my way home. It is such an extraordinary feeling to …
Sometimes awesome things just land in front of us. Awesome, creative, perfect things. Such was this little thing. I had the opportunity to create an event to celebrate Canadian Chicken while they were in Vancouver Sponsoring the Connecting …
Life is funny sometimes (okay, all the time. Life is funny ALL the time) I spent last week deep in thought about our one year anniversary of "the big decision" and then, when the actual day …
