The other day my little one quickly rushed out to the garden with a spade in his hand. He jumped into his wellies and went marching into the garden. Turns out that he wanted to plant another seed from the nectarine he had just happily devoured. He'll try and remember to water the spots where he's … [Read more...]
Father’s Day Gifts For The Hard-To-Buy-For Dad
Let's face it, Father's Day is not as easy as Mother's Day. Dads are quite content chillaxing on a quiet afternoon but we all still want to honour the dads in our lives anyway, right? I've been keeping tabs on some neat things that you may want to consider for this upcoming Father's … [Read more...]
Date Night: Urban Legend?
Marriage is wonderful. Marriage is hard. This time of year is extra busy for me and Steve. Actually, it's always busy, but right now we're both pulling lots of overtime (him in the orchard and me showing houses, both often until 9 pm at night). It's so easy to slip into the Survival … [Read more...]
Breathe Easy, Kiddo

In my … [Read more...]

Unfortunately, with all that good (!) comes a … [Read more...]
Let’s Keep The Rose Coloured Glassed On!
Recently, I was asked by someone at the Ride To Conquer Cancer to write a piece on why I'm riding this year. This is that piece. It wasn't used where we had hoped...but I wanted to share it with you guys. The ride is a month away! I may not be ready... but I'm going to kick it in the … [Read more...]
Soft And 30
I am going to be 32 this summer and so far, the rumors are true: the 30s are way better than the 20s. So many of those Big Life Decisions (Who will I marry? How many kids will we have? Where is my career going?) are made and now we just get to live them out, more secure and confident in who we … [Read more...]

Couch To 5K
I was a fat kid. It sucked. School track meets were traumatic, gym class was a nightmare, and it was emotionally trying to wade through the awkward waters of adolescence in a thick, wobbly frame. Being overweight made it hard to enjoy exercise, so I never really pushed myself … [Read more...]
