I smile the second I see it. I walk up and hear the waves. The water, so beautiful, so strong. It doesn’t love me as much as I love it but that is okay. I want my kids to feel the way I feel every time I am near it. I want them to be…
Take The Long Way Home
My oldest kiddo went to sleep-away camp for the first time last week. He was dropped off by Tim while I was on my way home from BlogHer. That wasn’t a really fun feeling, by the way – your kid being dropped off to somewhere they have never been before whilst you get to miss…
Canadian Fun!
I’m leaving for BlogHer on Wednesday so I want to leave some more a kajillion photos from our trip to Canada up before I jet outta her (Get it, “jet” outta here? I know, I’m hilarious). They don’t need a ton of explanation. You can probably tell from them that we had a wonderful time! We…
Reality Bites
Do you remember that movie? It was a classic 90’s movie, complete with Winona Ryder. Also, it came out 20 years ago. Let the feeling-old feelings commence. Reality does kind of bite right now though, mostly because of this. And just a little because Tim and I recently returned to reality, after an amazing time…
The Last of It
I wanted to go ahead and write about and post pictures from our last couple of days in Canada… you know, for posterity and all. On our way back from the mountains we hit up the super enormous mall in Edmonton, West Edmonton Mall. It’s in West Edmonton. 😉 They have both a water park…
Stormy
We could see the ominous clouds rolling in from across the lake but there was still sun over our so-small corner of the world. The kids continued to swim for a bit as the winds shifted and the shapes in the sky quickly changed each time I looked away and then back again. The air…
And then we went to the mountains!!
If y’all thought I inundated you with photos from our time at the lake while in Canada, well… I took a FEW hundreds of pictures while we spent just a little over 24 hours (only, boo hoo) in Jasper. It’s this cute little, touristy town in Jasper National Park in the midst of the Canadian…
I Did Not Want to Leave…
I have so much to show and tell about our trip to Canada and right now I am still processing it all. I guess I could start with the people we spent time with, that mean SO very much to me. Just as I type that I begin to tear up because I love them…
GWL
Now that I (and my van) have mostly recovered from our four-day road trip I can share with you all about it. Traveling with kids can be exhausting, but especially so when you take them to a place where you are “going” pretty much the entire time you are there! We whisked the kids off…
