As chaotic as well all are, there are some crazy things we just will NOT do. Included in this list: bungee jumping, base jumping and extreme ironing. (Yes, extreme ironing is an extreme sport, we looked it up) But here is something that there is no way, for any amount of money, to save all [...]
After a VERY rainy walk around the block today to stretch our legs, we happened to look up and see this: Totally taking this as a sign of good luck and the next time I waffle about taking the dawg out in bad weather, I’ll think twice because you just never know what kind of [...]
Told you that yesterday was a good day for cake. And no, it’s not written in mustard…
Big milestone today for the youngest baby in our family: I admit it, the minute I saw the odometer start to creep up to that magic number, I got a little worried. This vehicle has done us very well, and hopefully there will be many many more kilometers to come but come on – 100,000 [...]
“Whoa what just happened?!” This was the thought that suddenly came to mind as all of a sudden over 100 emails from Pinterest came flooding into my email inbox this morning. Hey, I knew I was popular on Pinterest, but I didn’t think I was THAT popular… As I scanned quickly through the emails I [...]
There’s nothing new about bullying – it’s been around since the dawn of time. It was all over the place when I was a kid & every adult I speak to today can relate a bullying story to me. But it seems there’s a different element to bullying nowadays. Kids are killing themselves. Every week [...]
The other day I came across the coolest birth announcement ever… it was the type of clever, creative thing that just made you think to yourself, “Why the hell didn’t I think of that?!” Too late now… but enjoy this, it’s super awesome.
I was curling last night, and I’m not talkin’ ’bout my hair…. Last fall our whole family got involved in a Canadian sport that until then, was just something we’d watched on TV and tried to follow along with. Mostly unsuccessfully. We started curling. I don’t remember exactly what propelled us into the sport – [...]
I’ve mentioned before about how I have the best… job… evah… and this past week was no exception. Over in Toronto, there was alot of buzz and activity taking place that was centered around an event called “Blissdom“. In semi-related news, my boss had some meetings that she needed her team to be at together [...]
Close your eyes and listen to this. Then mid-way through, open up your eyes and take a look at the little powerhouse that’s singing it. Rachel Crow may be only 13 but after listening to her sing, that’s completely and totally irrelevant. Incredible. And honestly, she had our full 100% admiration when she was asked [...]
It’s kind of difficult to put the right feelings into words when you hear news like the world did today. It’s kind of difficult to make yourself understand why you feel so connected and full of sorrow at hearing of the passing of a total stranger. Except Steve Jobs wasn’t really a total stranger to [...]
In my entire lifetime of working, I don’t think I’ve ever done this. I made a video to celebrate my boss’ birthday. With my awesome situation of being a work-at-home mama & having the best… job… evah, the downside is that my boss & many of the other staff & bloggers that work for her [...]
Yesterday was the kind of day that made my little tech-savvy geeky social media heart go ping ping. I was able to watch a live conference that was taking place in Ontario, whilst never leaving the comfort of my home office in BC. A few months ago I saw a few tweets flying about with [...]
A little thought for your Thursday… When somebody shows their true colours, you are either blinded by their brilliance, or burned by the sting.
Just over a year ago in the blog, we wrote about something awesome that was taking place. “Life In A Day” was a film project by director Kevin Macdonald and producer Ridley Scott. The purpose of the project was for people to submit a video to YouTube, documenting a day in their life. The catch [...]
