December is pretty much over already? How did that happen? This entire month seems like a whirlwind that took me along for the ride. It started with a fantastic trip with my daughter to Beaches Negril in Jamaica. The sand, sun and ocean was the most perfect way to start the month…
File this under: Where I want to be. Negril Beach, Jamaica. . ** If you have one, please link up your own Wordless {or Wordy} Wednesday below ** and thank you for leaving a comment too! . . .
My daughter and I just got home from a remarkable stay at Beaches Resorts in Negril Jamaica for #BeachesMoms. Mother & Daughter time = success! Every day, we dedicated some time so that Isabelle could hunt for seashells. One of her favourite things to do while at the beach, she takes great pride in…
I put down my book to hear the soft music of ‘What a Wonderful World‘ playing in the Cucina Romana beach restaurant, just a few steps away from my lounge chair. A sudden tropical rain, which the Jamaicans call ‘Liquid Sunshine’, had just blown through the area. This is the reason why my attention…
Last week I spent some time in Negril, Jamaica. It was my first time in the country and also my first at Sandals Negril Resort. One of the first things that totally blew me away about this location, was the sunsets – unlike any I’ve ever seen before. Truly breathtaking! If you want to…
November brought Winter and more Winter. Hitting with a vengence this year, our city saw more snowfall and blizzards than usual. Bah humbug. Yet, what a perfect time for hubby and I to escape to Sandals Negril in tropical Jamaica! We had the most incredible week away, more to come on our trip…
Winter is officially here {photos from last week}. This snow day could be any ordinary day for the next 7 months … *sigh*. … just thought I’d explain that in case you thought the title of ‘snow day’ meant that the schools were closed. HA! I don’t think they’ve done that since I was…
October brought a very short Fall that turned to snow far too early for my liking. Yet, it was the month of fun, and apparently – costumes! We enjoyed a fantastic trip to Walt Disney World in Florida for the #DisneyHaunt Event. There we took in all things Disney, especially having a blast at…
This past weekend my kids and I were invited to attend a Halloween Party, mostly with friends from their class. Food, crafts, games, friends and fun – I knew this was one party to go down in the record books. I thought it was a perfect occasion to bring along the Canon EOS Rebel…
Winter made an appearance this week in Alberta. Snow. Cold – lots of both. Dinners are more comforting, blinds are closed and the furnace is chugging along. Boo! Something I also find helpful in warming up, and bringing a huge smile to the face? These photos. They are from our recent stay at Walt…
Our family just returned from a magical time in Walt Disney World, for the #DisneyHaunt event. I just started going through all the photos {posts to come!}, yet right now there’s laundry to be done and the almighty adjustment to the home schedule again. Boo! Yet I can’t pass up the opportunity to share…
. September brought the final days of beautiful hot weather {possibly the nicest of the whole Summer, actually}. It was also the month that my Isabelle turned 9, and the start of Grade 4 for her and new adventures in Kindergarten for the Twins. Cheerleading and Girl Guides started for all, taking up much…
Last week my daughter turned nine. I cannot believe we are almost in the double digits! We had her pool party on Saturday, a fun Monster High themed birthday. The cake turned out amazing, as did the decorations. Take a peek at my post here for photos. Also, in a prior Wordless Wednesday, I…
I’ve lived here all my live and never went up the Calgary Tower. That fact is very odd to me. This Summer I decided to change that when my family and I set out to seize the Summer with Travelocity.ca. While in Calgary for our weekend getaway, we took the kids up the Calgary Tower,…
My kids didn’t start school at the same time this year, my oldest began Grade 4 three days before her sisters. It was really odd having this staggered ‘back to school’ routine, I really can’t say I liked it at all. The worst part was that it really confused the twins, they kept asking…
August marked the final hurrah before the busy school season kicks in. It was my goal to make the most of this month, with many day trips and a couple of fun family travel weekends. It really seems like I was just posted my July Month in Photos, August went by far too fast for…
Just a short drive across the highway from the town of Banff is Lake Minnewanka. I had been there many times before, since it’s such a scenic drive with gorgeous views. Yet, never have we stopped at the lake and took a good look around. On our last family trip to the Canadian Rockies, we…
This weekend we took a family trip to Banff National Park, a popular gem hidden in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. We are fortunate to live just a few hours away, so we try to visit as often as possible. Each time we go, we have new adventures, see new things. So, I can report…
