Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
The other day the kids had a special assembly at school where they were visited by a policewoman. She was apparently talking about bullying, but the handout that the kids brought home was about what is basically ‘Stranger Danger.’ The Lower Mainland has had a rash of attempted child abductions AND has horrifyingly connected some […]
My dad was an artist. A frustrated one…but a good artist. My mom has a couple of his watercolors in her house. I have a cool sketch of a ‘fantastical’ warrior he did. He made a brief living as a commercial artist too. My mom is good at drawing too..but just for fun. It doesn’t […]
Full Disclosure….am just posting this because I do genuinely love their stuff! No payment was given for gushing! As a slightly nerdy uncool ‘rent, I am always happy when our parental nerdiness shows up in our kids! Our own little creations! I love that they are as into movies and comics etc as we are! […]
Today (Thursday) is my mommies birthday. Being that it is a usual day of kids stuff and Tara attempting a PRO photo shoot for Agoo Apparel, it will be a day of running around with HOPEFULLY some birthday fun for her. Because we love her. I can guarantee she probably feels taken for granted many […]

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve….tomorrow we will be driving around to do that whole ‘family’ thing. Those ‘things’ you do for Christmas. Christmas Day will be an orgy of over hyped kids opening too many gifts. You know how it works. I suppose I am really lucky to have family to drive around to […]
I am a bad blogger…but the week sort of went by in a bit of a blur. There has been cleaning, and organizing..though really, you can’t tell. But there was. Cards were writ and mailed More lists were made. Pat and Adam, Tara AND Caity have all been fighting lingering colds too. The highlight […]
