This Holiday Season is full of emotion. I can't seem to express all of this in words so I decided to try capturing it with my camera. This is pre-Christmas 2008 through my eyes: Gramma's knitting class. What a patient woman! So much excitement means sleepy, sleepy "girls". Sunrise … [Read more...]

March Break, Crafts, A 5k, Baking, and More Snow
March Break is over and I have to say that I miss the fun of it. I was working most of the time but my kids were thrilled with the cool activities and tons of playdates.

Sunday morning, we woke up to a whirling blizzard of snow and ice. After a momentary panic session triggered by all the things I wasn't going to get done that day, I mellowed out and accepted our day at home. In fact, it was incredibly liberating to realise that we couldn't do anything … [Read more...]

I needed to take my son to a doctor's appointment about 10 minutes away. Needless to say we were late. What put us … [Read more...]
