We are NOT raising Princesses

“What are you doing?!!?”  I screamed to my parents as Annika opened ‘The Little Mermaid’ DVD one Christmas.  ‘This is a Princess movie you fools!!!’  OK, so I did not scream at my parents but I wanted to.  In hindsight I may have over-reacted a little as Annika has now watched ‘The Little Mermaid’ many …

The past nine winters we have experienced the ‘Great White North’. Canada has earned its image of the land of ice and snow, where you need snow shoes and a dozen layers of thermal underwear just to venture outside on certain winter days.

Thoughts from the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay

With the torch

The 2010 winter Olympic torch relay came through our hometown today and the whole family went down to check out the festivities.  It was a special event to be a part of and our community was behind it. I must say that I enjoyed the experience and it rekindled some buried feelings …
