I finally managed to watch the lovely documentary ‘Babies’ last night. I highly recommend it if you haven’t yet seen it. It is so much fun. Babies are fun. Babies are fun no matter WHERE in the world they come from. And that is the great lesson….a great lesson for peace, respect, and understanding. No […]
Thursday morning had me filled with anxiety and upset as we stared at the boards posted outside the kids school. On it were the class listings…every grade split. Every single one. I realize that some think this is a fine way to do it…..I am not so sure. I had gone with Patrick to take […]

When we decided to visit the Greater Vancouver Zoo yesterday, I packed a wack of snacks, including juice boxes and a couple of ‘special’ boxes too… Getting Milk in the mail was cool for the kids. The children in this family are milk junkies so discovering ‘milk-to-go’ was most awesome for them. Now I grew […]
As I sit here …there is a brief moment of silence. Tara is napping and I have about 30 minutes before heading to pick up the kids from their last day of Summer Camp. There they are celebrating with pizza and movies apparently. The kids managed two weeks of the day camp this year. Adam […]
