Noah came home from school the other day while I was away all proud of himself. Their school gives out Bravos to students when they are caught being or doing something good. Positive reinforcement at it’s finest. They can then save up these bravos and trade them in for a reward. Noah found that ifContinue reading “Always Thinking”

The All Knowing
Ah the joys of parenthood. Caile is at that age, really she’s been there for a while, where she realizes her Parents don’t know everything, but that’s OK because she has a solution. Today she brought home her musical instrument from school that she will be playing in the band. She decided early on sheContinue reading “The All Knowing”
Dance Class Parent Participation
Yesterday in the morning I didn’t end up getting out for a run as I had planned. Getting out of bed wasn’t my problem this time. I actually ended up with lots of sleep because I went to be early. 5:30 am didn’t seem so bad at all. Just as I was getting ready toContinue reading “Dance Class Parent Participation”
Dad Joke
On the drive to dance class Ella and I ended up in a conversation about house numbers. She speculated that having a house number like 1 would make it easier to remember. Showing her where number 1 on our street was I said I wouldn’t want to live there because it is at the beginningContinue reading “Dad Joke”
Much Better Day Today
Yesterday was one of those days where just nothing seemed to go right. I would have likely been better off if I had just stayed in bed and there were parts of the day when I felt like that is what I should do. Just call it over and get out of the way. ItContinue reading “Much Better Day Today”
Finding Time for Yourself
The topic of freedom has been on my mind for a while now. During my later teenage years I had more freedom than I knew what to do with. Now there are days when it sometimes feels like my time really isn’t my own. Honestly I have nothing to complain about in my life, I’mContinue reading “Finding Time for Yourself”
Throwback Pictures
Recently I installed Timehop on my phone and it’s been showing me some awesome old photos. It got me thinking and I ended up going through some old pictures tonight. I found some really cute old ones of the kids and thought I’d share some.

Father’s Day
Yesterday Jen and the kids all gave me a wonderful Father’s Day. They helped make me some French toast for breakfast with lovely raspberries and blueberries on top. In the afternoon we all went to see the new movie Inside Out. My favourite part though are the cards and little gifts they gave. Some areContinue reading “Father’s Day”
That’s not a R
Noah was making a Father’s Day card today for his Grandfather. He had me write out the words on paper so he could spell them right. I’ve never been known for my penmanship. So when he asked me what letter R was in Father’s I wasn’t surprised. I told him what it was and hisContinue reading “That’s not a R”
