Do you ever feel like you don’t fit into a certain box? Life is just passing you by and you’re trying hard to fit into the box of life. You know that box you were told to fit into as a kid… but you just don’t fit in that box. You’re just moving around. It’s…

I Made A Shepherd’s Pie!
At the beginning of May, I decided to take a 4-month leave from work. (More about that in another post.) Since then I’ve been home trying to make more home-cooked meals. I knew at the beginning that I didn’t want to just eat the same thing over, and over again. This means I had to…
Homeschooling We’re Taking The Leap.
Say it with me…Homeschooling. Yup, we’re taking the leap we’ll be homeschooling all three big kids as of September. It’s definitely something that’s completely out of our comfort-zone. The discussion started around February, I had mentioned some personal stuff to Zaden’s caseworker about some issues with the school. I’m not pointing fingers, but we had…
Cooking Class For Beginners.
I believe that cooking and baking, is something that should be taught at a young age. It’s an important life skill, because living off only Kraft dinner and hotdogs isn’t something I want for my kids. Although to be honest, Kraft dinner and hotdogs is a pretty good dish on occasion. Don’t judge. So a…
Birthday Fun, Zaden Turns Six.
Today we celebrated Zaden’s sixth birthday, and I learnt a lot about hosting a birthday party. I’ve never hosted a birthday party, at a location other than our house…with people other than family. I thought it would be simple, and stress-free after all it was going to be hosted at another location. No cleanup required…
First Communion, the day that Keera’s been preparing for.
Today was the day Keera’s been preparing for, today was Keera’s First Communion. Typically the ceremony would be held at our church, however due to major renovations it was relocated. The sacramental coordinator from the church, emailed me to notify me that we’d be having Mass and the sacrament at a nearby Catholic school. Everyone…
Transportation To The Markets, In Holguin Cuba.
When in Cuba it’s natural to want to explore, staying at the resort is safe and great. However there’s only so much you get to experience, when you stay on the resort grounds. We wanted to explore, so we asked the resort staff what there was to do around. Beside the excursions that the resort…
Traveling to Cuba with the kids.
Blog post is courteous of my travel journal entries. I kept track of everything in my travel journal, since I left my computer behind and we had no internet in Cuba. Our adventure began at 2:30 am on April 20th, it was departure day and like most trips I was packing everything last-minute. I hadn’t…
Exploring Aggie Days.
This afternoon we took the kids to Aggie Days, at Stampede Park. I’ve been living here in Calgary for almost five years, and I never knew about this neat event. Admission to get in is free, and the only thing you’ve got to pay for is parking if you decide to drive there. You get…
Telus Spark and Star Trek.
Sometimes you just need a day off, and believe it or not kids need a day off too. So I decided we would have a ditch day, and I kept the kids home from school. After we slept in for a little bit we headed to McDonald’s for breakfast, then went to spend the day…
