All the kids just arrived home from school so there were eleven of them in the kitchen eating snacks of homemade peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and apple slices. My youngest daughter Ella, who does not like peanut butter, asked this instead: Can I just have a couple chocolate chips and a slice of bread?

Little George Costanza
Noah had been in the washroom for a little while and was being quiet, so I went to check on him. He was in there with everything but his socks off sitting on the toilet. When I asked him why he was naked he said, sometimes I get really hot so I take my clothesContinue reading “Little George Costanza”
Halifax day trip
Yesterday we took a wonderful day trip into Halifax. It was a beautiful day and it had been a while since we were able to all go spend a day together. This was the first day this year I was able to wear shorts and t-shirt, the only time I was a little cold wasContinue reading “Halifax day trip”
Backyard Wildlife
The view from my office window is great. Our backyard always has some critter running around out there it seems. There are lots of birds flying and singing. A few weeks back the big attractions was watching the squirrels sneaking around, climbing and jumping. We have deer who are semi regular visitors. As the cloverContinue reading “Backyard Wildlife”
Feeling better
After four days of feeling horrible and then two days of taking it pretty easy I think I’m finally getting back to myself. Losing 15lbs in four days, although needed, is not ideal. Today I actually ate some food and it felt good. Taking the kids to dance class did wear me back out quiteContinue reading “Feeling better”

Always willing to do what ever she can to help out. Having her so close and everything she doesContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
Worst Weightloss Plan Ever
Although I’m sure it is highly effective, I would not recommend this weightloss technique to anyone. For the past three days I’ve been pretty much lying in bed feeling like garbage. Nothing I eat or drink stays with me for very long. It’s a horrible feeling. It’s the weekend and pretty nice weather but IContinue reading “Worst Weightloss Plan Ever”
Winter to Spring Time Lapse
Since February 16th I’ve had a web cam setup in my office window looking out over my backyard. It’s set to capture an image every half hour when it is light out. The camera is not great so the quality isn’t very good but it’s still pretty cool watching the snow disappear and the grassContinue reading “Winter to Spring Time Lapse”
Great Grandmothers Peony
Tuesday night I finally did something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Gardening and plants are not anywhere near my specialty, nor do I even particularly enjoy it much but I planted a new plan in the flower bed I dug the other day, and I am excited about it. It’s really theContinue reading “Great Grandmothers Peony”
Love my car
To me cars are a necessity. If I lived in a big city with great public transportation I would gladly give up my vehicles, buy a good bike and make my way around that way. However living in rural Nova Scotia with four kids having a car, and in our case two, is pretty muchContinue reading “Love my car”
