When Sandy first started working for Automattic he was the only employee living in Nova Scotia. Today we have 8, which is pretty awesome for our small province within a worldwide distributed company. Since our company is distributed we are given an allowance to have holiday dinners within our own areas and get together with... 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 →

A lot of people often think we kept having children until we had our boy, but that wasn't the case with us at all. I had always said I was fine having all girls, but I know my Nannie in particular was set on the fact that I needed a boy. I didn't know it... Continue Reading →
New Orleans was hard to leave, it would have been great to have a few more days to explore, but knowing we were coming into an amazing week with the Fisher's it made it less difficult. We spent our last day in New Orleans riding the street car to the French Quarter and exploring. I... Continue Reading →
I really planned from the beginning to blog every few days like I did last summer about our adventures, but with so much travel in the first 8 days and then the excitement of New Orleans it ended up being too far from my mind. What have we been up to? We started our trip... Continue Reading →
Birthdays are definitely one of my favorite things. I love celebrating and have for as long as I can remember. As a child we were always able to pick whatever birthday party we wanted and invite all of our friends. My Mom was born on Christmas Day, so birthday parties didn't really happen for her,...

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 →
