What Goes Up …
… Must come down!
We took advantage of the milder temps last week to do some sledding. If only the bitter freeze didn’t have to come at all.
p.s. I still hate winter.

Nature is Closer than you Think
This post first appeared on Nature Valley Looking back at my childhood, the bulk of my memories were those spent outdoors.

Wordless Wednesday ~ Hello, Friend
I just spent a long day flying across Canada, I went from Alberta to Toronto. The once stranger of a city is now a place of comfort and familiarity. Coming to Toronto is like going to visit a good friend. So, this is what I see tonight: And, this is where I sleep tonight:…
Nice Try, Sweetie!
I started a grocery shopping list only to discover later that ‘someone’ had added an item. I thought this was just too adorable to not take a photo. Nice try, Sweetie! . If this is your first time visiting my WW posts, know that I am anything but Wordless. Ha! . .
Family Fun ~ Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat!
On Friday night, the girls and I had a very special time together. We went to Strawberry Shortcake: Follow Your Berry Own Beat! Excitement was high that entire day, my kids were literally jumping for joy and eager for showtime. They didn’t know what to expect for the show, yet knew they would see beloved friends from TV and in books.

Zip-Lining & Nokia
This past weekend I was in Canmore to attend the #NokiaUnfenced Event. I have so much to share about Nokia phones {with new product info} and our adventures. For now, I’d like to share one of my favorite photos from the weekend – myself and the fabulous @Jen_Banks. In this photo we are 50 ft…
Snow already? Yikes! Please keep it there. We just had a really warm weekend. Hoping it stays that way! I hate winter too!
Oh, it’s been here for a month already! Oh the joys of living in Alberta, Canada – it’s here to stay for month and months. And months.
What a cool shot! I love the angle and the excitement! You could always visit the southern hemisphere around Dec. 🙂
That’s my goal each and every Winter Christina! It’s a MUST with me!
I love everything about this picture!!!! And as a resident of Phoenix, I am jealous!
Likewise, I’m so jealous of those posting photos of green grass. Wanna trade? I love me some Phoenix!! 😉
That’s awesome that there was enough snow for sledding!! Can’t wait til we can go too 🙂
Happy WW!

Oh we have plenty right now! Tat hill is a little worn in some places, all the kids seem to go down the same spot. But, yep, lots! lol
We went sledding last week too. A friend dared me to go down the hill with the jump. I did and flew for a bit. 🙂
Ha, I haven’t been sledding in years. But, I jumped on a tube and went, I thought I would crash for sure. Fun, but not the same as when I was a kid. It seems shorter on the way down and a lot longer walking back up. ha!
So much fun and I love the smile! I think happy kids are the best part of cold winter.
This picture is so awesome! Please, will you do a photo shoot with my kids? You’re amazing!
Thanks for the smile Diana, it was a great day to take pictures, I actually got more than 1 good one out of 100! lol
Amazing photo! I love it!!! x
Thanks Charlotte!
🙂
I loved it so much that I have chosen you as my Fun Photo Favourite.
http://www.thecrumbymummy.co.uk/?p=3985
Hope you are well! x
Okay, I am officially jealous of the weather you get! And what a perfect photo, too!
and you officially made my mouth drop, ha!
Grass is greaner, I guess. I’m so envious of people that get zero snow. I’m up for tradsies anytime! 😉
I love that photo and I do love winter! I love the snow and I love snow days when we all just hang around the house and chill (sometimes literally LOL) . In any event thanks for hosting and have a great Thanksgiving.
Aww! how very cute 🙂
Have a brilliant week
My boys love snow and snow boarding! Unfortunately we don’t get much snow in Kentucky!
My kids are praying for snow badly! lol they love winter way way too much
Yikes, you already have enough snow to go sledding…it’s little wonder you hate winter! great photo, love the B&W.
{PS I think my link to your linky became lost in cyberspace…I tried re-entering but no luck 🙂

Sorry, I see it there now Tammi…I must practice patience…I must practice patience…lol
Ha, I go through the same thing, ‘where my link???’ Oh…. lol
Oh I’m so jealous!!!! I just posted today about how it was 60 degrees here today and we went to the park! I can’t wait for it to snow!!!
http://www.dayswithdylanandkc.com
Not sure what 60 is in Celsius, but I’m jealous anyway. I’d love to go to the park again – but body parts freeze to the metal…. doh!
Now that is getting into the spirit of winter!
Such a gorgeous photo! love it!
Ai @ Sakura Haruka
Thank you!
🙂
Looks like a lot of fun! Lovely shot! Thanks for hosting and Happy WW!
Great picture! I believe you actually had snow in Alberta before we did this year (Saskatchewan) but we did get it, and more on the way this week………
So true, you guys usually do first. But nope – we’re the chosen ones this year. Darn! lol
The perspective is great on that picture!
PS I hate winter to.
What an awesome shot!!
This picture is AWESOME. I like the changing pictures on your banner too!
What a great shot Tammi! I feel you pain about the winter! I would rather be indoors wrapped in an electric blanket than out in the frigid cold! lol
Love the new look….hate winter too! LOL!
Great way to tire them out!!
As much as I hate winter, that’s a great photo!
I want your snow!! In the Fall I cough whenever I talk until the snow covers the dead grass and leaves. I so want your snow 🙂 Lucky!
Whoosh! That sure looks like fun!
BEAUTIFUL shot! And yes, please keep the snow up there.
Great photo!! She is having a ball on the snow 🙂
He he! Adorable!!
The kids love sledding. I, on the other hand, am not quite looking forward for the snow..
So Fun! I love the angle of the photo and the pure smile of delight!! Happy Holidays!!
That is a fantastic photograph! The composition is incredible, as is the perspective. I love it!
Love this shot. We went sledding this weekend, but I was too afraid to get in the way of the sled to take a pic… should do it soon though, my baby’s growing up and soon she will be too cool to be seen with mommy and daddy 🙂
My kids are begging for snow this year. I know it gets old (or so I’ve heard), but here in the south, we have to wait a year or two in between snows. We get soooooo excited when it does. We could swap houses for a week. You’d LOVE our southern hospitality and mild temps!
This picture is amazing! THe black and white is just, wow! Love it!
I don’t mind winter so much. My kiddos are bigger and can dress themselves for going outdoors, and I find that I like winter MUCh more now! lol
What a great picture! It NEVER snows here so that is something we don’t get to do!
Excellent image. Very nice composition. Well done indeed.
Takes me back to my own childhood memories!! Thanks for sharing, Tammi!!!
Great photos Tammi. I am the opposite, I hate hot! giggle thank you for sharing at Sarah’s Wordless Wednesday hop. xo
That is an awesome shot. Love the angle. I like snow, but i can wait a few more weeks!
What a great pic. I much rather get snow November and December then Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr..
LOL
Beautiful! Excellent composition. Love the choice of black and white and deciding to not fix the horizon. You rock!
I would frame that picture and hang it darhling. Amazing picture of a beautiful girl.
Such a pretty photo too!
What a great shot, looks like so much fun. My sister lives in Calgary and she is already fed up with winter!
I also hate winter, it’s the snow and ice I can’t stand. As far as it getting cold I can deal with that, just dress for it but everything else about winter..Forget it..:(
Moving from Upstate NY to SC makes me kind of miss all that snow. Just kind of though 🙂
I absolutely LOVE that picture!
It captures so much in just one little shot.
What an incredible photo! I also hate winter, but I wrote a post last year about seeing winter through my toddler daughter’s eyes. I might hate it, but I love watching her love it.
Oh boy, I remember when! That smile cannot get any bigger!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
cool photo
Dont fight winter. Wrap your arms around the snow and enjoy the holidays. Get a one piece with flap in the back pj’s and thick socks and make that your morning weekend clothes. Enjoy the scenery like at the LCBO with all the gift boxes, packed Tims of people enjoying each other’s company and the excitement of a Grey Cup in downtown Toronto. Bomb free buses and nothing falling out of the sky like I read on CNN half a world away. Just awful
Life moves pretty fast so stop and take a look around….enjoy the scenery.
what a great photo! Your kids are going to treasure that when they’re older!!
Great to see them out having fun in the winter!
Awesome picture! I want to go sledding too, I’m a new follower

In the spirit of American Thanksgiving – thanks for participating on my meme – I also wish you and your loved ones a healthy and happy holiday season!
I cannot believe you guys have that much snow already!!! We’re in Toronto…none here yet.
I just bought my son a new sled so I don’t mind a bit of snow. Just not when I have to drive around the city.
We don’t have snow yet, thank goodness, what a great angle on this shot though!
Wow snow already? I live in the Southern US so we dont get very much snow at all. People laugh when they hear that everything around here closes down with just a 1/2 inch of snow! Funny huh? P.S. I love winter! =)
Great Photo 🙂
I love that picture. But wow. Snow already???? I haven’t seen much.
I share your hatred for winter, unfortunately my daughter LOVES to go sledding. Thankfully Nana and Papa enjoy taking her 🙂
It’s funny how the cold never bothers us as much as kids – I dread winter now, and all those days where we had 30+ degree weather – I really really miss 🙁
Amazing action shot!
Your fellow winter-hater!
great photo! scary snow though none for us yet!
Not a big fan of winter either but it’s fun to watch the kids get all excited about it!! They have no idea 😉
Thanks for sharing! That looks like so much fun
I just can’t believe all of the snow that you have. In Victoria…sunny and cold or cold and raining…
PS I hate winter too!
Can’t wait to take my daughter this year!
How exciting!! We live about an hour from the snow but it just is too cold..I get very scared about driving in it and the kids being to weird around others in the snow..One of these days I will try to get the three children out to the snow because that picture looks fun.
I’m so jealous of anyone who gets to see snow. I’m suck in hot-year-round Florida!
What an awesome photo I like that you made it black and white looks very classic 🙂
We did the same thing this past week! so much fun!
what a great photo! looks like you had a ton of fun!!!
Beautiful picture
Wonderful photo…just wonderul! I don’t like winter either and didn’t much as a child …. The cold is not my friend but I DID like to tobaggon…go figiure! It’s was so much fun…Here in Southern Ontario it’s been too mild. My nephew moved to Alberta and had a great photo of him in the snow posted one day!lol
She looks like she’s having a blast! 🙂
Winter is so much fun! My girls love it and so do I!
Great picture, I’m with I hate winter too, this week alone I had to shovel our lane way and near the house our wide parking which I nicknamed our mini parking lot. Takes me two hrs to shovel. I just keep telling myself exercise.
We’ve only had a few dustings here, so our kids are eager to try sledding again! Have to say it wasn’t too successful last year though… maybe another year older will make things more fun 🙂
Argh! Snow. I moved from Calgary, AB to Richmond Hill, ON last summer and I do not miss that amount of snow at all! Great photo!
Snow? Last year we had almost none. This year we’ve been told to expect more than ever. Guess I’d better get out the boots and get ready to go sledding just like you!
I totally have great memories of sledding as a child. We live in TX so hopefully we will visit somewhere with snow so my daughter can experience the thrill of sledding too!
I absolutely love this photo! The black and white makes it even more beautiful…looks like a ton of fun!
Thanks so much Carla, and it was taken with my phone!! That’s never happened before, great light and timing I guess!
🙂
Awwww a picture like this lasts a lifetime – cheesy but so true !! My daughter is now 17, but everyone in awhile we will pull out the old photo albums and reminisce and talk about the good old days ! She loves doing it, and I love remembering those days when she was young and so innocent, now almost ready for university, I miss those days !
What a fantastic shot, the lighting is perfect and it looks fantastic in B&W!
I like this perspective on the shot.
