I’m having a rare moment of quiet right now. There are no house showings. One child is at school and the other is napping. Hubby is at work and my visiting brother in law has gone riding the c-train around which he likes to do when he visits town (he’s from Victoria.)  The dog is [...]

yes, I realize I already posted a silly pic today but when they fall into my lap what else am I supposed to do? Right?  

Kathleen posted a fun Monday Mojo today over at Eclectic Six.  The idea of Monday Mojo is to get that first blog post of the week up and out of the way.  You know, to get your blogging mojo going.   The prompt today is:  Three words that Describe You. Pretty simple eh? So here [...]

Last night I had the unfortunate pleasure of hanging out in the ER with My little H who had slipped on the stairs and gave her hand a good whack on the way down.  It was one of those times when you wonder if you should go or not.  She said it hurt but wasn’t [...]

We all screamed as the water came out of nowhere and doused two young men on the street corner.  I’d made a last minute lane change while coming to a stop at an Edmonton intersection and the puddle was unseen until our tire splooshed through it.  We screamed, the water flew, the light turned green, [...]

I’ve finally gotten my redesign up and running….there are still a few things I’m fiddling with so bear with me. I know some of the categories are messed up but I’m working on splitting my ‘at home’ posts into ‘food’ and ‘decor’ so they’re easier to browse.   I hope I haven’t broken anything.  Please [...]

Blogging is a labour of love.  I sat down yesterday and figured out how much money I’ve made and what that means for an hourly rate.  I made $0.25/hour last year. It’s safe to say I don’t do this for the money. Most bloggers are in the same boat as me.  We work, work, work [...]

This is a bit of a random post but I have a few things that dont’ equal a post in their own rights and so here it goes in one mish mashy jumble.   Blog West I’ll be heading up to Blog West in March and can’t wait to meet so many people who I’ve [...]
