Having been a ‘PR friendly’ blogger over the years, I have used my platform to promote and support various issues and charities. One I won’t be promoting anymore is Pink Shirt Day. My youngest is in grade one and my oldest is in grade 8. Over the years’ we have dealt with various dramas […]
Forget Babies. The Double Digits Will Knock the Stuffing Out of You
A few weeks ago, the kids and I fell down the rabbit hole called nostalgia. We spent two whole evenings perusing all the digital photos we had amassed since Adam was born waaaaay back in 2002. It is a fun collection of random photos of all styles and quality but together was a great […]

The Family that Sleeps Together…..
Last night, weary after a long first week of 2016 I headed to bed with Tara in tow. Adam was/is at a sleepover and Caity decided to stay up and hang out with her dad. Tara wandered into bed with me as did the dogs. The ‘snuggle puppy’ position was assumed (on side, arm […]
Monday is going to hurt
It is almost 10 am here. I seem to be the only person awake. Even the dogs are still asleep. As a parent and a blogger, I did the “winter” break all wrong and will be punished for it come Monday morning. I have seen all the images of families doing something somewhere throughout the […]
