DIY Kids Doctor Kit

Excuse the shitty photo, I had to take it all ninja sneaky in my dark bedroom.
(I added some pieces to it yesterday when I got a surprise package in the mail for my sister-in-law who is a vet tech. She sent some cool things that she will be beyond excited about.)

Have you ever started Christmas shopping so early that you forget what you bought and where you hid it? I am facing this problem now. I started to buy Christmas gifts pretty much right after last Christmas. Target closed in Canada (insert crying emotionally distraught emoji) and there were some really great deals while they liquidated (I can’t believe I put the words Target and liquidated in the same sentence) I bought things and hid them. Then I slowly started adding things as I thought of them because it is ways cheaper to spread it out over a long period then to panic and by everything at the end.  Continue Reading →

Happy 5th Birthday

Merle and ISlightly blurry but it’s all I have 🙂

I really don’t think there is anything in this world that makes you realize how short life is like having kids. There is something about them growing and changing in a blink of an eye that reinforces the really small window of time you get to have with them when they are children. My youngest just turned 5 and I seriously can’t even comprehend where the time as gone. It literally feels like yesterday that she was born. Even my Caesarean scar still hurts every time I sneeze.  Continue Reading →

A Quiet 11th Birthday

Sara 2 Comments

Roo and Merle

I found this one plus several other funny pictures on my camera that the kids took.

One week ago was my oldest daughters 11th birthday, and I suddenly feel really old.

In one way it seems like yesterday, then suddenly it feels like 100 lifetimes ago.

We aren’t big birthday party people here, we tend to keep it a special day with the family (except that year we did Chuck E Cheese and it was an absolute nightmare.

I also cut my hand badly on a game and that could have led to the nightmarishness of the day). I always let the kids pick one thing they want to do that day, sometimes it is movies, sometimes museums, sometimes just quietly hangout together at home. Continue Reading →

My Frye Boots Deal

Frye Engineer Boots

For many years now I have wanted to buy a pair of Frye boots. To me they are the epitome of what a good boot is and I wanted them…badly. Every time I shopped online I would check around to see if I could find them for a more affordable price (to many they are affordable, to me they are considered a large purchase of which I could never justify). I have drooled while window shopping, I have tried them on to torture myself, I have placed them in my online shopping basket a million times but I have never gone through with the purchase. Until Sunday.  Continue Reading →
