Impromptu Trip

So we could celebrate our 11th (holy smokes!!) anniversary, my parents took the girls overnight yesterday. We hadn’t made any plans but we decided, on the spur of the moment, to go to Bumbershoot and to spend the night in Seattle. After finding an amazing deal on parking (only $10 for the day), we got [...]

Happy Berfday To Me!

I just completed my half-way-to-70’th year (as it was written on my lovely Tinkerbell cake) and I suppose I should reflect on my life of late. This past year has been an excellent one. I left the realms of the self-employed and found myself an amazing role at a great little company. I was kinda [...]

Four on the Floor

Happy 4th birthday to my dear daughter. I asked Elise this morning what her favourite part of being three was and she said “going to preschool.” Just the fact that she said that will tell you how much she has changed since her birthday last year. I am sure I wrote about the separation anxiety [...]

Happy Birthday Daniella

Dear Daniella, You are two years old today and we celebrated with some friends with a froggy birthday party. We almost had to cancel your party because you were crying this morning because your tummy hurt. But, in true Sunny D style, you perked up just as I was making the calls to cancel and [...]

35 and lovin’ every minute

It’s my 35th birthday today. I’ve always liked my birthday. As a child it was my one day to feel extra special in a family with 4 children all vying for the attention of our parents and as an adult it has been the time that I re-evaluate myself and figure out what changes I [...]

Happy Berfday to The Bard

Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o’ the puddin-race! Aboon them a’ ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm: Weel are ye wordy o’ a grace As lang’s my arm. The groaning trencher there ye fill, Your hurdies like a distant hill, Your pin wad help to mend a mill In time [...]
