My dad is turning 60 in June! That’s a big one and an important one. My mom and I started discussing what we wanted to do for him a few months ago. We wanted to get him something special to celebrate this year in his life. My dad is a musician and has been his [...]
So yesterday I was thinking about who I have revealed myself to, and who I haven’t. I know one good friend of mine reads my blog, I think regularly (Hi JC!). I have told 3 other friends about it – but they couldn’t be bothered to read it. And then I thought, I haven’t told [...]
The visit with my mom was awesome! H and I picked her up from the Vancouver airport on Thursday afternoon. She took us out to the Olive Garden for dinner; it was really good, as always! Then we went to Chapters bookstore and bought the Biggest Loser Family Cookbook with a gift card that H [...]
My mom arrives this afternoon and is staying with us until Tuesday! This is the forth or fifth visit from my parents this year. The first year they moved to Saskatchewan was hard – I only had the chance to see them once! So I feel very blessed this year. I’m not sure what the [...]
I said it last year and I will say it this year. H and I do not exchange Christmas gifts. * gasp * H and I celebrate Christmas. We do. We have turkey dinner, we decorate our condo with Christmas decorations that were purchased second hand, we drive around and look at all the done [...]
I had a great visit with my dad! Unfortunately my mom couldn’t make it; they had two foster children arrive over the weekend, so I completely understand. She was really upset that she couldn’t make the trip, so she is coming to see me sometime later this month! Whenever my parents arrive we end up [...]
I have known for a few months that my dad would be coming for a visit this week, but now with the condo sale, my mom may be coming as well! This will be their third trip from Saskatchewan to BC this year! I am really excited. I will know later today if it’s a [...]
With essentially 3 months until Christmas, I have decided that I better get my plans organized. We decided last Christmas that this year we didn’t want to spend any money on gifts and wanted to focus our time, energy and money on family. Which is what Christmas is all about, anyway. H and I come [...]
I am having a great visit with my parents! And even though we aren’t traveling anywhere this summer, spending this week with my parents is kind of like a vacation for us too. We are going on little day trips here and there, eating dinners out and are constantly on the go. It’s quite nice! [...]
Tomorrow my parents are arriving from Saskatchewan! I am picking them up from the airport in the morning, and they are with me until next weekend. I am not sure how much posting I am going to get done, but we’ll see how it goes. They are renting a car and staying in the guest [...]
