Toad-ally Grossed Out
I've posted before about my absolute fear of frogs and toads. It was embarrassingly obvious to all of my fellow UM bloggers when we were at Blue Mountain last month. Anytime we walked by the frog pond I would look straight ahead, walking quickly clutching whoever's arm was closest to my … [Read more...]
Memories of Summers Past
Few things can transport me right back to my childhood. Summers especially. Growing up, our summers started out with great anticipation as we waited for our guests to arrive. Those guests would include our grandparents, aunts and uncles who would travel from Northern Ireland, England and Wales and … [Read more...]
My First Time

Last Thursday night our family gathered at the local performing arts theatre to … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – Beatin the Heat
Yes, it's hot as hell out there. No, I am not a toucan. However, you won't hear me complaining about this heat. You can't beat a good old sprinkler. It also doesn't hurt to have a/c and friends with pools. How are you beating this heat? … [Read more...]
The Gift of Life
One week ago today my husband traveled down the long stretch of 401 making his way to London. He was on his way to Victoria Hospital to see his cousin, Kevin who had been in a serious single vehicle collision the Friday night previous and was on life support. Sean hedged several times on going … [Read more...]
FotoFriday – Child Labour
So this started happening this year. We've been waiting 12 years to pass the torch lawnmower onto him. What household chores/responsibilities have you passed on to your children? … [Read more...]
