Feeling like I had been trapped in the house too much lately after the stormy weather I finally decided to get out side and do something besides move snow. It started by making a quick detour on the way to the grocery store to my favourite walking trail. I didn’t make it far because IContinue reading “Snow Shoeing”

So Much Snow
Pretty confident that the last time we had this much snow was February 2004, in the storm that was dubbed White Juan. Here’s a few pictures of the front yard so far this month, where’s my bench? Watching the wind blow around this morning made me try to wait as long as possible before goingContinue reading “So Much Snow”
Always Something
It really seems like there is just one thing after another that comes along. Just two weeks ago it was poor Alex at the hospital with an awful migraine. Last night it was Caile’s turn to end up there because she had a bumps all over her. It started with just a couple but beforeContinue reading “Always Something”
Things Not Working? Change It Up!
Last week was the first week at Automattic that I was starting to feel stressed and a little burnt out. This weekend I took sometime to try to figure out why, because nothing had changed. Reflecting back it seems like it was a combination of things. Luckily all the things are in my own controlContinue reading “Things Not Working? Change It Up!”

Weekend Emergency Room
Heading out in the middle of a cold, snowy Saturday night to take a child to the emergency room is never a fun thing. Oh wait it’s Sunday morning, I always forget the day changes even if you don’t sleep. Poor Alexandria seems to be suffering from a migraine, at least that is our bestContinue reading “Weekend Emergency Room”
Winter, I’m sorry
Winter I’m sorry. I may have been a little too harsh on you yesterday, because today you are simply beautiful! I still prefer sand to snow though.
Winter Arrived
Over the past two days we’ve received our first taste of winter this year. There has been a bunch of snow and school has been cancelled the last two days. Tuesday was blizzard like conditions so there was lots of wind and blowing snow. It’s made me even more thankful again to have a jobContinue reading “Winter Arrived”
Wintery Wet Basketball
We were looking for something to do today that would get is outside. The temperatures were above freezing, even if just barely, so we wanted to take advantage. We talked about going for a walk, or to a playground, but Noah decided he wanted to play basketball. We didn’t know what the court would beContinue reading “Wintery Wet Basketball”
Donairs and Donair Pizza
While I was away in Spain meeting my new team one of them, Simon, asked me about food in Nova Scotia and if he came here what he would have to try. The first thing that came to mind was donairs. Truthfully I don’t actually eat a lot of donairs, but when I do IContinue reading “Donairs and Donair Pizza”
