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 [...]

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 – [...]
This time next week, I’ll be sitting at my desk in my home office and it will be quiet. There will be no sounds of Phineas and Ferb coming from the TV, no smells of another round of toast being made, no glimpses of the kids scurrying from the living room to the trampoline outside [...]
The other day we read an article in the local paper that was all about shopping for clothes for the kids – specifically, going back to school.
