Our first mini-holiday for the summer was a trip to Calgary to see the zoo and Heritage Park. We planned our trip on the weekend of Zoe’s fourth birthday and lucky for us, Zoe, Isaac and Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma H were all able to come with us! Brandon was mesmerized by all […]

Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day; the kids really do make it so rewarding! Owen and Brandon bought me seeds and tins for planting herbs indoors. We planted them right away and again, the seeds kind of all fell into a pile instead of a long line, so we’ll see how they grow. We also made time to see […]
Gardening with Kids
It seems with children I have been inspired to grow, in many ways, but this particular post is concentrating on growing outdoor vegetables, fruits and plants. I want to show them that the fruits and vegetables that they enjoy, grow from seeds in the ground and that we can grow them ourselves. We are equally […]
Practice Cake
It was the beginning of May and Owen’s fourth birthday was coming up. The decision on the cake changed every day, every hour, so finally I asked Owen, what kind of birthday cake would you like for your birthday? Cars or Spider-man. Owen picked Spider-man. I was able to find a Spider-man cake pan from […]
Potty Training, part two, Daddy’s turn
There was one extra day after Easter that Daddy stayed home, for one last day to ensure Owen and Brandon were really good with the potty training. Uncle Derek, Aunty Colette, Zoe and Isaac brought a wonderful Easter gift for Owen and Brandon — bubbles. But not any ordinary bubbles, colored bubbles. The weather was […]
The Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter Bunny, the Easter Bunny….we woke up Easter Sunday morning and when we headed downstairs, why there were little Easter eggs hidden all over the house. They were in the bathroom (what!? the Easter bunny took a break in the bathroom), in our shoes, in our toys and in the kitchen! Owen loved hunting […]
Happy Easter
Easter was about a month ago, but well you know my story….Sean and I struggled to balance enjoying Easter and visiting with family and taking pictures, but we did get a few… I found an egg decorating set that came with a stamp and stamp pad and thought that would be a lot of fun. […]
Happy 4th Birthday Owen!
Happy Fourth Birthday Owen! I am 4 yrs old today. I weigh 46.40 lbs and I am 43.50 inches tall. I am wearing 6X, extra small and small tops (depending on the store) and I am slowly moving from 5T to the size small in Little Boy clothes for pants. I wear a size 13 shoe […]
Potty Training
So I have come to a fork in the road, potty training. For the better part of the past 12 months Sean and I have worked at potty training with Owen. Stumbling along the way, trying this and then that, changing expressions, tone and words and googling, googling, googling for advice, tips, anything. By the […]
Our Aunty Rocks!
The boys have these too cute t shirts and before anyone assumes anything I will admit it was me that bought them and not one of the boy’s Aunty’s. Owen and Brandon’s favorite thing about the shirts is the guitars. Now the sippy cups….well those have been sitting in the cupboard for quite some time […]
