Itgroove and the Royals are teaming up to do their first ever Christmas tree at the Fairmont Empress Hotel’s Festival of Trees! Sean and I went for the first time last year and we enjoyed it so much, we wanted to be a part of it this year. If you’ve never been, for a donation …

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to sit in on a class to learn how to use OneNote. I don’t know if it’s obvious (she says sarcastically), but I am not always excited or even willing to learn anything new when it comes to computers. Sean has been talking about how much I …

  It’s hockey season again! Do you want to know how I knew that? Well, obviously there’s been a lot of hype about the new NHL season starting up. Also, for Father’s Day the kids and I bought Sean a Budweiser red goal light. You can connect it to your Wi-Fi, pick your favourite team …

Where were you 10 years ago? In September 2003, Sean and I had just made the long journey back to Canada after living in Bermuda for 5 years. We had a 1 ½ year old baby and one on the way. About a week before we moved back here, there was a huge hurricane (Floyd …

They say that opposites attract. I know from experience that it is totally true. I don’t think you could find someone less interested in new technology than me. I feel the same way with cars. If it works, great. Why change it? Unfortunately for me, Sean sees things differently. It seems like once a month …

That can only mean one thing. What’s that you say? Cheering? Goals? Early mornings? Not really…hockey season is the start of when Sean begrudgingly volunteers to do the music for our son’s game at the rink. He kind of pretends at first like it’s a bit of a pain, but I can see it in …

  As summer draws to a close, I find myself completely lacking in any sort of routine. Normally I do prefer a relatively scheduled life, but when summer comes, all bets are off. In fact, I am so relaxed right now that I’m having trouble showing up to any appointment without running out the door …

It’s hard for me to believe, but July 9 was our 18th wedding anniversary! Back in 1993 after some convincing from Sean, I agreed to fly off to Vegas to get married. I was holding out for a more traditional wedding, but it seemed like all of our married friends said if they could change …

What you’re looking at is a family of puppets. Sean came home with them around 5 years ago. When he saw the quizzical expression on my face, he told me he ordered them so he could do online demonstrations and use the puppets instead of a live person. Hmm, I thought, sounds like an excuse …

On the weekend Sean and I spent time with his grandmother. We wanted to record her as she told us her life story. She has witnessed so many things in her lifetime and has an amazing memory for details. She was born almost 95 years ago in Liverpool, England. When she was a teenager in …
