We had quite the day of traveling yesterday. We had the alarm set for 4:30am to make sure we had everything ready to leave the house by 6:00am. Things went pretty smooth except shortly after leaving the house we had to turn around because I forgot the laptop. However, we made it to YarmouthContinue reading “Traveling Day”

Feeling the Vacation Stress
It’s the night before our family vacation and the stress is starting to set in. I’m not entirely sure why. We’ve gone on a number of big vacations with the family and they always turn out fine. This one feels different though. I’m not sure if it is the driving distance, it’s not much furtherContinue reading “Feeling the Vacation Stress”
When You’re Right, You’re Right
A couple months ago my son was asking my wife about her wedding rings. He wanted to know why she had two different rings. Jen explained to him that one was the wedding band and one was the ring I gave her when I asked her to marry me. “Mommy, why did Daddy ask youContinue reading “When You’re Right, You’re Right”
It’s Rough Getting Old

With four kids we usually keep pretty busy but it’s usually doing something fun with the family which is always nice, but weekends are also the time to get nagging choresContinue reading “Rabbit Stew Anyone?”
Social Running
Running for me has been a solo thing to do since I started. It’s great I don’t have to depend on anyone I can just go. Put in some headphones and run. I can go at what ever pace I want, I don’t have to worry about holding anyone up or slowing myself down toContinue reading “Social Running”
New Pajamas
My youngest, and only boy, was quickly growing out of all his cool pajamas that are good for hot summer nights. So my wife picked him up some boxer type shorts and tank top style undershirts to use. He was thrilled. The first night after he got ready for bed, we came back downstairs onContinue reading “New Pajamas”
Under 5 min/km
Yesterday I ran a somewhat new route. I’d covered most of it before but just combined it a different way. I was really happy with it. It had some pavement, a couple hills in the beginning, but relatively flat. I decided last night I was going to do the same route again and when IContinue reading “Under 5 min/km”
Healthy BMI Calculator WordPress Plugin
This is one of two Plugins I recently released to the WordPress community that I had developed for my personal health blog, http://health.sandym.ca. I found myself calculating my BMI fairly often as I was losing weight. I wanted a quick and easy way to do this and find out what weight I needed to be toContinue reading “Healthy BMI Calculator WordPress Plugin”
