The weekend here has been beautiful. I think our autumn is trying desperately to make up for the bad hand we got in Edmonton during the summer months. We spent a lot of today outside, playing with our daughters and I worked a little in the garden. Its time to pull out the garden to Continue reading →
If you came here because you did a search on the words in my title and you are looking for answers, or for a post that is going to make you feel better, this is not it. I’m where you are right now. How do you make the decision to put a pet down? We Continue reading →
I spent some time this weekend going through our daughter’s clothes. Both girls have outgrown most of the clothes that hung in their closets and I was growing tired of playing “Let’s See If This Fits.” I can’t believe that at four months old, our youngest daughter has already outgrown two boxes of clothes. I Continue reading →
Our daughter’s third birthday party has come and gone and I have to say, it went really well. First up were the birthday invites. I ended up making our own invites using photoshop, then saving the image and sending it to Shoppers to be printed at 10¢ each. So for 20 invites, it only cost Continue reading →
I know in one of my last posts, I was talking about the long weekend and how my plan was to take it easy and relax. Funny how life often takes a detour from our plans! On Sunday night, our daughter was born at 7:41pm after my water broke (while I was attempting to relax Continue reading →
When this post sees the light of day, it means that we are off to the hospital to hopefully welcome our new daughter in to the world. I will be having a c-section if there is time for it due to some complications with our first pregnancy that ended in an emergency c-section so will Continue reading →
I just got back from one of my favorite gardening centres with the rest of this year’s vegetables that we will be planting in our garden. I say the rest because Little Bird and I already started some peas, ground cherries and heirloom tomatoes in doors a couple of months ago from the seeds we Continue reading →
I’m curious how everyone handles house to-do lists. I’m not talking about ‘to-do’ chores like laundry, I mean ‘to-do’ lists like household improvements such as changing out old, dated electrical covers, renting a steam cleaner for the carpets, etc. We used to handle projects as we came across them, but decided to change things up Continue reading →
Our Easter holidays are always busy and filled with a lot of tradition, and this year we are adding another tradition to our list because Little Bird is getting older now. I’m talking about the great Easter treat hunt. Last year, at a year and a half old, she didn’t understand that she had to Continue reading →
I don’t know about you, but here in Edmonton we have had our share of winter and it is a nice feeling when you know that Spring is coming and aside of some small weather dips, we are heading to warmer, sunnier days. Spring is the time that many do their BIG clean for the Continue reading →
I don’t know why knowing the gender of this baby is so important to us (read: mostly me). Both of us are completely thrilled with either outcome, and it isn’t the end result that is important, it is just knowing what the end result is, and this time I we really wanted to know. Little Bird goes Continue reading →
