Roughly 8 years ago, the girls badly wanted bunnies. I am pretty sure Alex sold the other 2 girls on the idea, because she wanted a bunny so much, but either way, all 3 of them wanted bunnies. I had never owned a bunny, but felt they would be a great pet after some research.... Continue Reading →
It is hard to believe that it has been 1 year since I started my first day of Trial at Automattic. I had worked as hard as I could before that day to absorb as much information as I could, but it didn't help the nervousness and stress that I felt. I wanted a position... Continue Reading →
It's hard to believe that my baby girl is turning 12, just about reaching her teenage years. It seems like yesterday we were heading to the hospital to finally meet her. I am convinced children are born with their personalities and life / upbringing helps shape them. Ella has always had a huge heart and... Continue Reading →
It is just about here! March is just about here! When I wake up tomorrow the last day of February will be here, the two Winter months will be in the past and Spring will be just about here.

I can’t explain what it is like to walk into a resort with roughly 560 of your fellow Automatticians. You truly have to live it to understand. It is overwhelming, exciting and chaotic all at the same time. I work with these amazing people and we converse online, but have never had the chance to... Continue Reading →
It has been a while since I have posted about my Year of Yes, but it was in anticipation and hope of this post! As you know my New Year started with changing a lot of directions in my life. I have been blessed with having great families to care for during the last 8... Continue Reading →
For those of you who do not live in Nova Scotia you may be unaware that for the last 2 months we have been under a partial teachers strike called "Work to Rule"! What does this mean? Simply put, the teachers go to work and do only what is required of them, what they are... Continue Reading →
My grandfather was a very superstitious man, my grandmother was as well and I can remember little things like never changing a calendar before it was time or opening an umbrella inside were just a couple of things they would never imagine doing. I remember hearing my grandfather talk about Friday the 13th a few... Continue Reading →
Next month, February, Sandy and I will have met 16 years ago! I started working at the Call Center where he was already employed. My first shift out of training, we spoke and that was the first of many conversations for us. I was in an unhealthy relationship at the time and Sandy was in... Continue Reading →
Since my son was born a little more than 7 years ago, I honestly have to say that my life has become everything I wanted it to be. After my maternity leave was over I did not return to the Jr Operations Manager position that I had occupied before that. I had been employed by... Continue Reading →
