Today we gave Madeline her big Christmas present. We didn’t want to take big presents (and obviously couldn’t take this present) to Summerland for Christmas, so we decided to do the kids’ big presents on another reasonably special day: New Year’s Eve. Madeline got my old four storey barbie doll house (with an elevator and everything!), [...]
Top 15 in chronological order:
1. Feeling better after vomitting from nervousness(!!) when we pulled up to the Saskatoon airport on the day we left (and our kids ending up to be excellent travelers).
2. Finding, trying on, and purchasing a pair of jeans at the Gap in 5 minutes while everyone waited in the car on our [...]
Rule number one of parenting a toddler must be to make threats that you are willing and able to follow through on. Which means no saying “well then, we’ll just leave you here in the middle of the road because you don’t want to hold our hands” or ”then no going to grandma’s house for supper [...]
Sitting here in balmy Summerland with 12 minutes left of Christmas day, all I can do is dream of a white Christmas…

I know it won’t be because of the furnace.

And more importantly, well not really, I have been able to regale those who care (and those who don’t) with my first birth story, for as many years. It was a du-hu-oozy. So I’ve pulled out my pregnancy [...]
Well, we have officially been without internet at our house for three days (due to some Sasktel work on our street). And I have taken refuge at my parents’ house for a half an hour to get caught up on the world at large — or at least the “world” of the blogs I normally [...]
I wrapped presents the other night and put on It’s A Wonderful Life. Actually, at first I finished What Not To Wear and then watched about 10 minutes of Ballroom Bootcamp, which I thought looked like the dumbest show ever, but it was actually not bad. I think I thought it was okay because there [...]
Happy Birthday to the man who, either through his snoring or the children he has beget begat with me, allows me to see 12:56am on the clock every night. I love you. (But please stop snoring.)
My daughter, Madeline, who turns three in one week, had to go to the hospital today.
