Last spring at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel as we finally got everyone into bed and turned the lights out, a querulous voice piped up. “Why are we not at HOME?” asked Tara. We all burst out laughing and struggled to get her settled once again. This whole ‘stay at a hotel for fun’ thing is a […]
So I was feeling pretty special. There is a LOT going on this month, lots of projects happening for various members of the family, but I was managing to keep things ticking along fairly well. Even down to Mother’s Day. Last year had been lovely at the Museum of Vancouver’s High Tea. I didn’t […]

May 8th is McHappy Day. A $1 from every Big Mac®, Happy Meal®, and hot McCafé® beverage you buy will be donated to Ronald McDonald Houses and other local children’s charities across Canada. If that isn’t a good enough excuse for a food treat from McDonalds, I don’t know what is. Ronald McDonald House Charities Canada helps […]
