We had another snow day today. It started out snow and then switched over to freezing rain. Thankfully we didn’t have to go anywhere for work and with school canceled it was later in the day before I went out to shovel.

Nick De Palma is a class act
Tonight was the final home game for the Acadia Axewomen and Axemen. These student athletes are such great role models. They have come to help run practices, run camps, and really help foster his love for basketball. Tonight was a bit of a sad night as this was the last home game that Noah’s favouriteContinue reading “Nick De Palma is a class act”
Ode to coffee
For Christmas this year I got a combination of presents that are my most favourite ever I think. It is a new espresso machine and a bean grinder! I use this multiple times a day to make delicious coffee. I made this video the other day and my brother in law suggested I added aContinue reading “Ode to coffee”

The rural area with lots of agriculture makes it a bustling time of year. The colours all around are what do it for me though. I’ve been tryingContinue reading “Autumn Walks”
Women: Persons under the law
Last week my middle daughter was given a project for school. She was given a year, 1929, and was told to research a court decision which was passed that year in Canada. History was far from my favourite subject and therefore not one I’m strong in, so when she first told me about it IContinue reading “Women: Persons under the law”

Ed Sheeran Concert
This weekend trip has been in the plans for almost a year. Last Christmas when we found out about the concert and decided we would use it as one of our big memory presents for the kids. It was a long wait, it cost a fair bit of money, and we were all excited toContinue reading “Ed Sheeran Concert”
