I tell you, it's The Summer of the Sundress for this little girl. I can barely get her into shorts at all. (She says she feels pretty in a dress. What can I say, really?!) Fortunately, I bought a few end-of-season sale items to put away for this year... in this case, we fell into the Gap. At … [Read more...]
The Blue Mountain Groove
My 10 year old son did not want to go to camp in Collingwood.

In fact we love driving so much that … [Read more...]

Family Travel: Food Stresses
We're thankful that our kids enjoy food as much as we do. I call them foodie kids as they are some of the most daring eaters for their age groups. Seriously. They will take fresh octopus salad over a chicken nuggets any day. But I remember when they were really young. We have always travelled and I … [Read more...]
Aunts and Uncles
Though I have a rather large extended family, I have never been close to many of my relatives. I have one aunt and grandmother I maintain regular contact with, and as far as uncles, I have been fortunate to have two rather excellent ones; on my dad's side, Uncle David; on my mom's side, Uncle … [Read more...]
