Most days the little turkeys get driven to camp, but there are some days when me and my little scooter ninjas just have to ride... we make quite the spectacular little posse, you know - ready to terrorize y'alls neighbourhood.

Natural Ability
Me: Ava Scarlett? Come finish your breakfast please... She: Whaaahmmmm? Me: What are you doing, Madame? She: Just playing my fork. *strums* Me: Um... She: *rocking out* I blame my mother for showing her this air-guitar stance. Totally. (SEE what you've done, … [Read more...]
My Segway Adventure
Me, on a stationary-Segway for a photo-op, taken by Jason Graham One of the activities I was slated to try during our Blue Mountain retreat was a Segway tour.

There’s No Place Like Home

It was my first solo vacation (no husband, … [Read more...]
A Sunday Drive
One of my favourite things to do with the family is go for a drive.

Dinner In a Glass – Bloody April
Perhaps the weather is less than stellar where you are today. Oh hai, thanks for the all snow and ice balls, April. Never mind. Make yourself a cocktail, and just wait for that crap to end. This is basically a Bloody Mary, only with more deliciousness. Let's call it a Bloody April. It's … [Read more...]
