It's been far too long since I've written a Wordless Wednesday post. I've somehow forgotten how much a photo can move me until I sat trying to edit our photos from our recent Florida trip. Today I'm bringing back the Wordless Wednesday....and hope to continue it throughout the year. I asked the girls to write a word in the sand that means something to them. Chelsea wrote this, I asked why and she said "Cuz it's all that matters Mama".....she's a wise one! Just one of hundreds I snapped ...

Shameless Proud of My Daughter Writing for @OWLKids – Asking for Comments…
Today I am totally a proud mama and am shamelessly asking you all to help me encourage my 9 year old. Recently we were thrilled to be asked by OWL magazine to have our daughter Sydney attend Family Channel's Big Ticket Summer Event in Toronto.

My Parents Are Moving In…GASP
Last week I wrote a bit about my wacky Mum here on my blog. After 3 years of me blogging my Mum finally figured out how to comment and hasn't looked back.

Let me put this into perspective for you, my Mum is an amazing lady and very successful in many areas but technology isn't one of them. This is the woman who took years to get comfy with a TV ...
Spring Is In The Air – Do you feel different as the seasons change?
Here in Southern Ontario the temperatures have begun to rise...a bit. Last year at this time we were outside in shorts and T-shirts with the beginnings of green grass showing. Right now there is still a foot of snow on our front lawn, but hey just two weeks ago I snapped this photo of my daughter in a parking lot that had just been plowed so it's all relative right? As a somewhat typical Ontarian I'm eager for the warmer months so to me a foot of snow melting on my front lawn brings up ...
