Today we arrived home from a great long weekend away. We went to visit our good friends in New Brunswick. It’s always nice to get to see them and their family. It’s also nice to get away from the every day routine for a while as well. Also I may have been spoiled as theyContinue reading “Long Weekend Get Away”

New Running Goal
It was in mid July when I guess I started running again this year after taking a long detrimental break. After the 10K race for the Valley Harvest Marathon in October of last year I basically stopped running. Getting started again was hard but it’s come along well. This year after the race I decidedContinue reading “New Running Goal”
Getting Up Early and Being Vulnerable
Not long ago there was a time when I always was up early and before anyone else in the house. That time I would use to go out and get an early morning run in before the day began. When days started getting shorter and the mornings were much darker I fell away from thatContinue reading “Getting Up Early and Being Vulnerable”
Uh Oh
One of those things you don’t really want to hear the person half way through giving you a haircut say. Ah! I really need to figure out what I’m doing here. Thanks Jen 😉
Birthday Weekend
This past Friday was my 36th birthday. The same day Noah had a class trip to Noggins Corner Farm, so I took the day off and went with him and his class. It was a cold windy day but we still had a good time. Every time I go on a class trip though IContinue reading “Birthday Weekend”
Surprise Date Night
Last night Jen surprised me pretty good. She had plans for a while to go to the movies last night with a friend. After supper as I was cleaning things up she surprised me to let me know that it was actually her and I who were going to movies and that my mother wasContinue reading “Surprise Date Night”
Making Support Cool
Today I’ve been thinking a bit about support as a career again and wondering why so many people think of it like a entry or lower position. Besides one of the big reasons that I talked about before I think there are other things that come into play here as well. One of the hugeContinue reading “Making Support Cool”
Beautiful Autumn Weekend
This weekend we ended up with some beautiful fall weather. We had a bunch of errands to run in the city yesterday and had originally planned on taking the kids to the discovery centre as a way to break up the day. Since it was so nice out we instead decided to take a walkContinue reading “Beautiful Autumn Weekend”
Always Thinking
Noah came home from school the other day while I was away all proud of himself. Their school gives out Bravos to students when they are caught being or doing something good. Positive reinforcement at it’s finest. They can then save up these bravos and trade them in for a reward. Noah found that ifContinue reading “Always Thinking”
Saving Money
Besides vacations it’s been years since I’ve purposely set aside money to save for something I’ve wanted. It’s always been much easier to somehow justify and throw it on a credit card and worry about paying it off afterwards. Luckily for the most part I don’t usually spend much money on myself, but I doContinue reading “Saving Money”
