40 years ago my Mom who had no sisters and my dad who had no sisters, to their surprise had a little girl. I was a strong willed baby right from the beginning and that hasn't changed a whole lot. 😉 For as long as I can remember I loved celebrating anything. I believe that... Continue Reading →
I love theatre and can honestly say I have since I was a toddler. Childhood friends can tell you about the hours we would spend on weekends acting out my favorite movies. Becoming someone else and engaging in their emotion and personality always fascinated me. I was even more impressed with the acting ability of... Continue Reading →
Toronto for March break was our Christmas Memory gift as a family, we bought Raptors tickets and were all excited to experience Toronto. Sandy came when he was Ella's age, but for the rest of us, this was our first time. We arrived Sunday evening to our AirBnb apartment in Scarborough. Already Noah was full... Continue Reading →
I will always remember the day that I found out that I was having twin nieces. I was fortunate to be able to come to the ultrasound with your Mom. Your Mom was not shocked that she was having twins, she had suspected this for some time. She was a bit surprised to find out... Continue Reading →

She definitely gets that from me. She looks forward to spending time with everyone she... Continue Reading →

December was a busy month for our family and because of the kids extra curricular's it was hard to fit in some of our past Christmas traditions. I was excited for the Christmas Break to arrive so we could catch up on some of the family time we needed. The break started with our annual... Continue Reading →
Yesterday Sandy mentioned to me that if any tree ever falls for us, it will be this one. I knew this tree definitely had an odd shaped centre causing it to have a bit of a lean, but I didn't imagine it would budge. This morning right before my alarm at 4:50am I heard the... Continue Reading →
Noah started playing basketball quite a few years ago. He was already in soccer at the time and we were simply looking for something else for him to do during the seasons where soccer wasn't running. We decided basketball, because he knew a couple of friends playing at the time. I was never a huge... Continue Reading →
There are only a few places that I really truly feel completely comfortable. I have more anxiety than I would love to admit. And I often feel as though I am an introvert trapped in an extroverts body, if that makes any sense. I dislike conflict and try to keep a smaller group of people... Continue Reading →
