Summer has been insane. It started from the first week and just kept getting busier, more un-balanced and chaotic. I felt that every moment I was rushing from one thing to the next with barely anytime to sit back and […]
returning home. I LOVE returning home, but then I LOVE my home. And not just the home, but the people in it as well. Coming home, the peace and the routine and the food, and the good sleeps. All of […]
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 […]
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 gal who grabbed a […]
Our little dude was born to make us giggle. He has all the right dance moves, had comedic timing at age 3, and his giggles are contagious. He loves center stage, and getting all the attention and knows just how […]
With a house full of ducks, and a yard filled with rabbits, chickens, dogs and various projects that require heavy lifting, and buckets of sweat, things tend to get a bit stinky around here. Hubs for one, but since he […]
It wasn’t exactly what I had planned for mothers day. And in all truth, I hadn’t really planned much. We always go “light” on holidays. Light in terms of expenses, and expectations. We keep it simple and quality. Good food, […]

We all have these moments, some more often than others, but we have all been there at one time or another! Those bad parenting moments when you know you messed up but you just can’t seem to find a way […]
We thought it would be funny. Apparently it wasn’t. Being April Fools day we thought we would “fool” the kids and tell them dad got a job working up in the Northwest Territories. The clincher being that because it was so […]
When I bump into people in “real life” they say that their favorite post of mine was on how we are “actually” doing this (this post) Like how we afford it. It’s either everyone’s favorite because you are all nosy buggers, or […]
My hubby and I keep getting deja vu driving around Saltspring. It seems so familiar to us. The winding roads, the roadside gardens. Sheep. It’s the most english place we have seen, other than england, of course. And with hubby being […]
I am sitting here in the airport after leaving blogwest, drinking my coffee, belly fully of yogurt and granola. Contented. Contented, and in a Chili’s restaurant. One of my besties just left to go back to her digs, a quick run to […]
