March Break

March 20, 2013 by Christine

While waiting outside the school to pick the kids up earlier this week I was asked by another mom if I had a good March Break. My response was swift (and maybe a bit knee-jerk) "No, it actually sucked." She looked taken aback and said "Oh that surprises me coming from you." Then I felt like a … [Read more...]

I can't believe the difference between last March Break: and this March Break: Stupid winter... Stupid cold... I was patient with the cold weather and it really didn't bother me up until about 3 days ago. I'm so done with this winter. Anyone else? … [Read more...]

Tied up

March 13, 2013 by Christine

I wrote this post last August with the firm knowledge that my boy would eventually be tying his own shoelaces. Before I sent those awesome Lego shoes to school I did what I think was probably the most crucial step to Cuyler succeeding in this task. I dyed the shoelaces. One half of the lace … [Read more...]

FotoFriday – The only good thing

March 8, 2013 by Christine

The only good thing about this sick little girl... ...is the 2 hour nap she took on her Dad. She gets a slumber snuggle and he's forced to not move off the couch. Win Win! … [Read more...]

Off Kilter

March 5, 2013 by Christine

One of the most asked questions since we got Teddy is "How does Cuyler like him?" Cuyler loves him and tells us several times a day how much he loves Teddy and wants him to live with us forever. He also reminds us how brave he is around Teddy and that he is not afraid of him. We can see a lovely … [Read more...]

FotoFriday – The right one

March 1, 2013 by Christine

Breeder: Do you have a preference in boy or girl? Me: Not really. Not unless there is a big difference in temperament. Breeder: Do you have a preference in colour? Me: No. I think the right pup will be the right colour. We got the right one. … [Read more...]

Balance

February 28, 2013 by Christine

For the first time in a very long time I feel like I have some balance to my life. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 12 years. In those 12 years a lot has gone on. Experiences that have tested my emotional strength and made me question so many things about my life. Experiences that have … [Read more...]

Music to my ears

February 20, 2013 by Christine

I've lived through the recorder once already when Cam was in grade 4. He took it again in grade 6. He is currently learning the ukulele and I think that's pretty cool. The notice came home awhile ago for me to send the money in for Cuyler's recorder. I rolled my eyes, sent it in and forgot about … [Read more...]
