Lately I feel like I’m always complaining about something. I really don’t mean to and honestly my life is pretty fantastic. But it always seems like there is something going on and I’d love to just have a stretch where I don’t get woken up at night and everyone in our house is healthy. ThereContinue reading “More kids means less sleep and more sickness”

Discovery Centre Fun Day
We had a great family day in Halifax today. The Discovery Centre has a couple new exhibits set up that we hadn’t been to yet so that was our destination today in between shopping stops. One of the new parts was a Sherlock Holmes mystery. They had eight chapters to the storey, each with theirContinue reading “Discovery Centre Fun Day”
I don’t care what you call her
We were in Costco today and Noah saw someone he knows from school. It’s funny because Costco is over an hour away but we almost always run into someone we know. As we walked past Noah said “Hi Lara” I asked, is her name Laura? The store was busy and it was hard to hear. Continue reading “I don’t care what you call her”
Snow Shoeing
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!”
Natural History Museum – Dinosaur Exhibit
We’ve been trying for a while now to find the time on a weekend to get into Halifax to do something fun with the kids and get some errands done at the same time. It seems like there has just been one thing or another get in the way though. There have been a fewContinue reading “Natural History Museum – Dinosaur Exhibit”
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.
