Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
We are pretty much done here (except youngest just announced that Santa needs to get her an Ever After Doll and we KNOW Santa did not get her that) for shopping, but the stores will be packed up until closing on Christmas Eve. If you have kids on your list that you haven’t found […]
Last night I had the pleasure of taking Tara to see the Goh Ballet’s Nutcracker at the Centre. She had no clue what to expect apart from the fact that I told her she would recognize the music and ballet dancing from her Barbie DVD’s. She was very excited by all the pomp […]
…or at least the little mishaps that make them all such wonderful memories. I may or may not have cooked the Turkey WITH the bag of giblets in it once. And there was the Thanksgiving that I sliced open my finger while carving yet another innocent bird. Blood everywhere. Unlike many people we just […]

Ok. I have zip lined. It was scary. But I still find THAT bridge at Capilano Canyon to be UTTERLY terrifying. Yet here I am AGAIN telling you all to go see the gorgeous lights that will make their 2014 debut next Friday. The lights and decor at Capilano are so lovely, it can’t […]
I am not a good photographer. It sucks, any good shots I take are pure luck, no matter what I am using to take the photos. Back in the olden days, my husband was the chief picture taker of the family and this was with a nice point and shoot, but when the phone’s […]
