I’ve been known to make ‘that snarly face’ when people say they love the Autumn season. I can’t help it if everything around us right now just reminds me that dreaded winter and ungodly temperatures are coming. To me, the season is accompanied by one long loop of creepy ambient horror film music. Yet, I am…
This past weekend was Thanksgiving, I have so much to be thankful for. We surrounded absolutely delicious food, my twins in dress-up {Bo Peep and Elsa} because well, they’re them. My oldest set the table and made name places from post-its. So obviously these needed to put on the forehead, for most of the dinner…
This last weekend we spent some time off the grid. We attended a wedding in British Columbia set at a gorgeous mountain resort, so it was a fine excuse to do some exploring in the area that we had been 13 years prior, on our honeymoon. This is the view from my cabin porch one…
Lately I’ve been finding letters, words and pictures written with PEN on walls and furniture. PEN! I’m super frustrated but adding to that chaos is the response that I get from all girls at once, ‘It wasn’t me!‘. Sometimes you have to resort to trickery to find out who the culprit is. Yet usually … So,…
This past weekend we did a little glow bowling, entirely fun and something we really should do more often. Do you bowl? .
If there’s one thing I can say about Summer 2014, is that we truly made the most. Our season was filled with fun activities, events and travel – which is why I can’t help but to be blessed yet sad at the same time. Summer was fantastic. These are some of the last shots of…
Today is Back to School! My oldest is now in Grade 5 and the twins just started Grade 1. Myself? I have my days free, a first in 10 years. Yes, there were a few teary moments and it was hectic to get 3 kids settled into 3 different classes in only a matter of…
We were recently hit with quite the storm, completely out of nowhere on a beautiful hot day. The storm blew in faster than I could shut the windows. The fierce wind picked up much dirt and covered everything in the house. Gross. Most of my tall aspen trees couldn’t fight against the wind and uprooted. Ugh. Then. The hail started….
Part of our long weekend was spent at the creek property. Running free … and riding bikes. Yet, in Katie’s case, she rode until her pedal broke off. I just blogged about the twins learning to ride bikes, so this is timely. I told ya these girls were working hard! 😉 . . .
This past weekend we did some celebrating – my twins turned Six! Six is a pretty big number, it’s like overnight they turn into school-age children. Taller, stronger, more independent and mature … Hold me! I’ll post more about their birthday soon, yet truth is, I haven’t even had time to even go through their…
This past week was Westerner Days in our city. The first day of the week-long celebration included a parade. My oldest was in it with cheer, so that means we were out the door pretty much when the sun rose. Then, we took in the Westerner Days Fair right after. I was surprised at my…
We spent a few days at our creek property last week, and celebrated Canada Day there. It was an incredible camping trip, and for a very specific reasons {but, more on that later}. Of course, the highlight after the sun fully set, was the fireworks! Not long at all and it wasn’t an intense and dramatic show…
HAPPY SUMMER EVERYONE! {said with so much excitement I could burst} We had a remarkable weekend and a wonderful start to summer 2014! Friday was the twins last day of Kindergarten {sniff}, so after some morning festivities at the school we went to ‘Food Truck Fridays’ downtown with some friends and ate lunch in the park….
Making s’mores over the weekend. Is there a more perfect end to the day? . . .
It’s moments like this, while out camping, that make all the bug bites totally worth it. Solitude, peace, reflection and all the time in the world to watch my babies grow. .
For the first time ever, I walked into the twins bedroom to find this … They used to share a crib when they were first born, yet since have always slept in their own beds {there’s two in the room that they share}. So, this event truly warmed my heart. This is love, true sisterly…
Hope you had a wonderful Easter! Our weekend festivities began with the dying of the eggs. Usually we do this a few days before Easter weekend, yet this year we decorated on Good Friday. The girls LOVE dying eggs! Isabelle wrote a cute note for the bunny, so a couple…
One of my favourite things in this whole world, palm trees make me smile from ear to ear. This particular one was taken while at Generations Riviera Maya. Love! . . .
