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.

Seeing as I was going to be spending some time on a plane I thought it would likely make a good choice as something to get through quickly while traveling. The book is written in theContinue reading “The Go-Giver”

When I get home and can really reflect I’ll post a better and more full recap of my first Grand Meetup with Automattic. For now I want to talk about something great that has happened for me here. I’ve had a bit of an epiphany thanks to two town hall sessions I’ve attended. One wasContinue reading “Support as a Career”
Family Weekend
So thankful for the weekend I was able to have with my family before I left for the week. We had a great time getting to play a lot outside and taking in all that autumn in the Annapolis Valley has to offer. We went apple picking, to the pumpkin regatta parade, played on theContinue reading “Family Weekend”
It’s Pumpkin People Time and Everything is Awesome
We live in an agriculture and rural area of Nova Scotia, so Fall is a big time of year. We celebrate the harvest and there are plenty of events on the go all the time. It might be heading to the farm markets for some fun activities, or a visit to one of the manyContinue reading “It’s Pumpkin People Time and Everything is Awesome”
