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 …

Written by Sean Wallbridge.   We recently bought two new cars.  Well, mostly new. Both were Demo’s (cars used typically by staff at the car lot, typically with 3000 to 8000km on it – more about that below). I won’t comment too much on what we bought (a Mini Cooper Countryman and a Ford Flex …

  A couple of weeks ago I needed to buy a new lawnmower. I bought a Honda mower from a company that I’ve bought other tools from in the past; they give great service, their prices are reasonable and the fellow I dealt with actually seemed to care about what my needs were. Anyway, I …

This must have been what Sean and I were thinking 15 years ago when we had the brilliant idea to build a cat tree. We thought we could save money and it was before we had kids so we were pretty excited to give our cats the best cat tree in town. It took the …

It has been 8 ½ years since my husband Sean went on a pre-planned guys’ vacation to Las Vegas. Unfortunately, our second child was only a few months old at the time, but this was the only time he and all of his friends could get together. At least that’s what he told me at …

  “You need a stem cell (bone marrow)” transplant”.  Those are chilling words that many people suffering from “blood cancers” hear nowadays.  The words are not chilling because of the need for the transplant as they are words that offer hope.  No, they are chilling because it means  a donor has to be found and …
