Can you see it? There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. Our “numbers” here in Canada are on a steady decline, restrictions are gradually being lifted and the vaccine is on the way. It has been a long, hard year and now instead of doom and gloom its time to talk about something else. Something that I daydream… View Post
A few years ago I decided Valentine’s day was the best time to tally up my top 10 Romantic Movies of all time! Hmmm of all time? That might be putting too much pressure on myself.

It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve felt like a bit of a less than average Mama. I’m not Martha Stewart, (although I never have been) I’m certainly not heading up the Brady Bunch or the Partridge Family over here, but I am doing my very best.

With each passing year the “holiday” of Halloween morphs into something a wee bit different for me. Way back in the day it was all about the well thought out costumes and parties. My University roomies looking as cute as possible and hitting up the right bars and parties. Can I just say a big hallelujah there was no Twitter,… View Post

Long days swimming in the crystal clear lake, countless hours hanging out on the dock – connecting, laughing and eating far too much junk food.
