“Yook at that yuuuuuge pile of yawndry! Ooooooh, can I touch it? Can I?” With those words, and an awestruck expression, Kristopher carefully climbed onto the kitchen table the other morning to investigate the tower of clean “yawndry” overflowing my laundry basket after a night of washing everything I could get my hands on, from […]
Thankful
We’re back from an amazing extended weekend of much-needed holidays and, while that means a week of playing catch-up lies ahead, there is so much to be thankful for. Healthy, happy kids who love me and each other. A baby who has figured out how to turn head down and is now growing well and […]
There Must Be Something In The Water
Have you noticed I’ve been totally slacking on the blogging lately? It makes me kinda sad, since I love this little internet place that lets me go on about anything and everything, and I miss it. But not as much as I miss my cookies. Get it? I’ve been losing my cookies? Yes, you got […]
What I’ve Learned
You know those mornings? You know, those mornings, when you’re up at 5am writing a blog post, when you’d really rather be curled in your deliciously warm and cozy bed, but someone *ahem* is making that quite impossible? It’s true. My adorable and sweet little baby girl, has decided that 5 am is now an […]
Oh, Pinterest.
Bloggoooooons! I have missed you. I don’t know how people do this blogging thing all on their lonesome, holding sole responsibility for living an interesting life, cooking and baking interesting things, and also posting about their shenanigans! I’m so thankful to be doing this with Chelsea so I can disappear for a week and you […]
Scrabble Showdown
I was catching up on the ever-entertaining Pioneer Woman a couple days ago and had to laugh at her description of marital competitions. I may not be any sort of pioneer, but I can relate to that. With a husband not only a foot taller than me but also significantly more muscled (hard to believe, […]
The domestic goddess knows how to delegate
I think there’s a common misperception that there exists such a thing as a “domestic goddess” who does it all herself, from icing 12 layer cakes for sick neighbours in a flash between cleaning the bathroom and bringing the kids to soccer practice, while cleaning out the garburator with her bare feet and pouring juice […]
A day at the beach
I love White Rock, even if it is named after a giant, imported, painted rock. I am a fan of kitsch. Since it’s not the shortest jaunt from our house we don’t make the trip too often, so I take any opportunity/excuse to go there, which just so happened to happen twice in one week! […]
A new addition
Well, our family grew by one more yesterday! One more piggy, that is. Gemma got a stuffed piggy as a gift when she was a newborn and latched onto it almost immediately, and along with that came a serious love for all pigs, whether alive, statuesque or stuffed. This guy was the highlight of […]
Les Holidaies
Pardon my French. Since moving back to BC in August we’ve gotten to see much more of Brandon and Chelsea (well, anything would have been so much more since they *ahem* never came to visit us in Ottawa), but mostly it’s been because they’ve come to the coast and we’re lucky enough to be slotted […]
