There are certain sounds you want your hubby to wake up to on Fathers day. The sound of bacon frying? Coffee perking? Excited kids preparing their gifts for dad. Things like that. NOT the sound of vomit hitting the floor. […]
I made muffins tonight. Not a big deal really, in a normal household. A pretty average activity in fact. But in my house, this was something new. Let me say it again. I. Made. Muffins. TONIGHT. Like in the evening. […]
I have talked before about being able to see a light at the end of the kid tunnel I am currently residing in. It is there, and while it is still only a pinprick of light, I find myself daydreaming […]
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 […]
I am a bit of an orphan. That’s a long story and not really what I’m looking to write about here so we will just leave that part right there. So without getting into the gritty details, I am an […]
Over the weekend I was at an event full of activities and workshops. One session the participants took off to the nearby playground and … well, they played. They played games, they played on the swimgsets, the climbers. The women […]

home. Wonderful, wonderful home. After an AMAZING weekend at every WOMAN in Whistler, I am home. On the couch. Horizontal. A weekend FULL of laughter, and fabulous women and inspiring moments. And more laughter. (maybe even a little bit more) […]
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 […]
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 some flexibility in the plan. […]
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” lifetyle, and while […]
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 again. And again, and again. […]
We struggled with 8 years about moving. We drank in MLS listings, we tried on different ideas and options for our life, but were constantly held back by making the actual decision. Maybe if we had been more honest with […]
