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! […]

Freezing our Butts for Fun in Vancouver!
So DESPITE the powers that mock my life, we have had a great few days. Mostly. Well…lets just say everything sort of worked out as planned. Which is saying a lot. No really…it is. A dear friend came for a visit with her two hilarious daughters in between HER hectic life on Friday and we […]
Old Couple Are We!
We celebrated 11 years of marriage yesterday..but really we have been together for like 18! OUCH! We decided to check out ‘NU’ down at False Creek. Lovely views, mellow ambiance and nice food WITH NO KIDS!!! It was nowhere near as pretentious as its website made it out to be. I wish all the Vancouver eateries would stop […]
It’s Tradition Dammit!
But what else reason would we have to pay $20 for parking at a so so fun fair? $5 bucks for wack-a-mole is a sure sign of the times. Yes, we ventured out with the entire family to the PNE on Monday. If my Mom hadn’t redeemed some Air Miles for ride and entrance passes, […]

How come I can chat with almost […]
Mom is the Loneliest Number

IT was really awesome. A room full of babies and or heavily pregnant mom’s […]
Is there such a thing as a Scottish Redneck?
I wasn’t going to participate in Better Than A Playdate’s loving ‘adoption’ shower for Tanis our beloved Redneck Mommy. Not out of any lack of love for Tanis or for the crew behind the shower…but I was really feeling a bit stumped on the whole ‘redneck’ thing. I am a city slicker. Been so my […]
Snow Days in Vancouver…
Canada has been hit with snow and freezing temperatures from coast to coast….Vancouver is in shock..we have OVER a foot of snow on the ground. Awesome if you don’t have to go anywhere. Pat’s commute took rather longer for him. Getting to Safeway for the great Turkey shop yesterday was interesting…God Bless Traction Control! The […]
Fall Is Bustin Out All Over
….so why has Canada not done Daylight Savings yet? Anyway.. The weather HAS been gorgeous. Not too cold and bright and sun shiney. The leaves are turning all amazing colours. Everyone who owns a decent camera is scurrying around taking ‘art’ shots. I did the dog and mom. This is at Crowley Park, just down […]
