About a year ago I began reading a book called "Year of Yes" by Shonda Rhimes. Before I read this book I had been thinking a lot about my life, my focus points, family time and my employment. I was stuck in a comfort zone that I was too afraid to climb out of. I... Continue Reading →
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 is amazing to me each year how fast the summer goes by, but this one especially. We ended our month long trip with a night in New England and a stop at our favorite beach. Next year we decided we will stay a few nights at the end so we can have more time... Continue Reading →
I truly believe that each day we are alive changes our life somehow. Some days are big changes and other days, little changes. 14 years ago this morning our sweet Brianna Lynne was born and later that evening we said Goodbye. For me this was one of those big change days. For me that day... Continue Reading →
I have to admit that I loved Chicago before I ever step foot in this city. There is something about it, from the time I was a kid that intrigued me. I have been excited to come here for a long time. So much so, that I was almost worried that it would not live... Continue Reading →
We had been far warned that once we leave Ontario and head West our scenery will change and repeat itself for long stretches. You really do not get it until you see it though!

The Philadelphia area has so much to offer families and having our Discovery Centre membership really helps a lot. We decided to head to Delaware to see their Natural History Museum. We really enjoyed it. They had a section on New Zealand and Australia that we had never seen before anywhere else. They also had... Continue Reading →
That really is the first thing I think of when I think of Philadelphia! I was definitely a Fresh Prince fan! 🙂 Our initial plan before I became an Automattician was that we were going to be going back home after the NKOTB concert the next day and then start our drive again the following...

Have you ever felt like a certain place was home, even though you have never lived there in your life? Some of you will know what I mean and others, well you may think I am a little nutty. 😉 I came to Boston for the first time when I was 17. I was fortunate... 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 →
Winter always feels so long, so I am always happy for March Break to arrive! I love the lighter nights and it is great to have a week with the kids! We started our week with a trip to the city. We wanted to get back to the Discovery Centre and explore a little more.... Continue Reading →
