Working for a distributed company, and in particular Automattic, is amazing. There are so many upsides and I think talked about a lot of them previously. Don’t just take my word though, take a look through some posts by coworkers. For the past little bit however I think I’ve found the downfall of working remotely.Continue reading “Distributed Downfall”

First Date – Wolfville Reservoir Park
We took the kids swimming at the Wolfville Reservoir Park recently. This is one of my favourite places in the world. Not only does it have a nice walking trail and a mountain bike course, but it also has a swimming area and an amazing view over the Minas Basin to Cape Blomidon. Even withContinue reading “First Date – Wolfville Reservoir Park”
Coffee in a River
This morning I had my morning coffee in an interesting place. Last night we went tubing again down the Gaspereau River as it was the last day the river would be high enough for the summer. The power company has dams along the area and they control the water levels. We took both vehicles andContinue reading “Coffee in a River”

All week Caile and Ella have been in Drama Summer Camp at Centre Stage Theatre. They’ve gone a few years now and love it. The camp is very well done and I love watching their play at the end of the week. This year they did a play called The Worn Slippers. I wasn’t ableContinue reading “Drama Camp Talent Show”
As Fresh as it Gets
Tonight we are having peas from our own garden in our supper. I had no idea they were even ready yet. A couple days ago they were getting close but I thought they still had a while yet. Jen came in with some earlier and I was shocked. Now I’m hiding outside eating a fewContinue reading “As Fresh as it Gets”
WordPress Hat
My newest piece of WordPress swag arrived in the mail the other day, and I love it. I think this is my favourite one yet because I can wear it everyday. When I go out I almost always wear a hat. I have a couple I alternate but I haven’t worn any other one besidesContinue reading “WordPress Hat”
Opposite Morning
This morning I had one awesome view down at the marsh. The most rising up like a dog and the ducks swimming around. Not another soul around. Then I came home and was taking the garbage to the road. I opened the shed and there was a huge spider standing in the door way notContinue reading “Opposite Morning”
Beautiful Morning
This morning I finally did it. I’ve been saying for a long time that I needed to get out running again. Having not been feeling well, and then going on vacation I kept putting it off. I decided last night it was time. Still I managed to stay in bed later than I planned butContinue reading “Beautiful Morning”
Afternoon at the Shore
This afternoon, together with a bunch of friends and family, we headed to the shore. The beach is a all rocks and is at Scot’s Bay on the Bay of Fundy. The tides are huge and as we were getting there it was on it’s way out. It doesn’t take long before there is aContinue reading “Afternoon at the Shore”
Library Summer Reading Club
Each year the Valley library system here puts on a summer reading club. It is an awesome idea to keep kids reading and gives them some great incentive to do it as well. You sign up for the program and you are given a sheet with different tasks to complete over the summer. As youContinue reading “Library Summer Reading Club”
