Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
My mom and I came to Canada in 1981 with pretty much nothing except a few boxes of our important possessions. Mom worked hard and slowly rebuilt up our home base of stuff. Needless to say it was a pretty big milestone when she purchased her first ever car over here. This was a […]
The hubs and I were lucky enough to both have media plus one’s for the screening of the Guardians of the Galaxy last Wednesday. I have to admit that of all the recent Marvel Universe flicks, this is now my favorite with Avengers following in 2nd place. I think the kids agree with me […]
