Happy Monday! I had intended to get share this post last Friday but last week turned into a total gongshow. June is always chaotic (at best) in our house but this one has really taken the cake. The weekend before Peter took off for four days and three nights to summit Mt. Baker. This has… Continue reading Quotes of the Week (Vol. 4) and other Life Things
Pearl and Rose created a carnival on our front driveway and the prize was this build-your-own-bouquet station. I love the magic they create with an empty driveway and a box of sidewalk chalk. Some other goodness recently: Beach bonfire with good friends. Took Winnie the Dog for a walk and came back to the ultimate… Continue reading 2024 Highlights: Spring’s Arrival
I've been working hard to stay up to date with my book reviews this past month but have focused a little less on sharing life here. We have celebrated Rose and Peter's birthdays and Canadian Thanksgiving. The girls both started soccer again. Pearl re-started piano lessons and Rose started them for the first time. Pearl's… Continue reading Fall Highlights So Far
Our littlest girl is not so little anymore! Last week Rose turned 6. We celebrated with several of her friends and a unicorn party. (Definitely our easiest theme so far. If you know our kids, you know they love a good birthday theme. This one only required a visit to the dollar store.) Our Rose… Continue reading Rose is 6!
We have completed our first family camping trip of 2023! On Tuesday afternoon we headed to Powell River on the upper Sunshine Coast. A short ferry ride away, this is where Sechelt folk go to get away when Sechelt gets too busy for us! We camped our first two nights close to the centre of… Continue reading 2023 Highlights: Powell River
We made it! The school year is finished, report cards are in (the girls both did fabulously), we're finding spots for all the end of the year artwork. We're officially on summer holidays! Pearl and Rose finished on Thursday but Friday was still a work day for Peter so the girls and I decided to… Continue reading 2023 Highlights: July is here!
This has been a week busy with fun things. School beach days, a carnival, lunch with friends, a night out for Peter and I. Things are growing in the garden. There is one more week of school left and next weekend is already Canada Day! The dresses: Where’s Monday? I cannot even remember what I… Continue reading 2023 Highlights: Early Days of Summer
Hi there! Welcome to the longest June ever! It’s June 18th and there are still two more weeks of school left. We’re all a bit exhausted. Thankfully, a lot of activities are winding down for the summer so our free time outside of work and school is a little looser. We’ve made time for some… Continue reading Life: Halfway through June!
We are deep into the busy season of June. That means field trips and special events and end-of-year reports and performances and lots of good and fun things but also requires a good deal of organization. Literal dog pile! We got a bit of rain over Friday and Saturday which was welcomed by all. Wildfires… Continue reading 2023 Highlights: June Week 2
Our beautiful spring weather continues! Though we are all a little nervous that this will be a precursor to yet another drought, I do still enjoy the warmth and sun. Winnie the dog continues to be…high energy. We are hopeful that her puppy nipping is decreasing and she is generally doing really well with leash… Continue reading 2023 Highlights: June is Here!
