Lisa and I celebrated our lucky 13th wedding anniversary yesterday. It is amazing to think that we have been married for 13 years, together for 18, and our three kids are all 5 years old or younger…but that is another story. With help from friends and family we had a lot of options offered to us …

Experiences From Home

When we are with friends our kids make us look good. They are so well behaved and downright delightful. This is wonderful as I would hate for them to be unruly when we are with other people but once in a while it would be nice to give them a glimpse of some of the challenges …

We had one of the quintessential spring outings with the kids last week. We went to visit a small farm that belongs to my cousin in Fanny Bay, BC. They call themselves Snapdragon Dairy. Here are a few links describing what they do. One from Infocus Magazine and one from Eyes On BC. We didn’t have …

Camping our old way
I have spent many nights camping in my lifetime but I have never really been a camper. I have always used camping just as an inexpensive form of accommodation. I have camped my way across Canada, throughout the Western United States, and our 14 month honeymoon included almost a year’s worth of …
