I feel fortunate that my family is healthy and safe, but I do miss the little things like perusing stores without worry and eating out in my favourite local restaurants. While nothing will […]
Our Life in Quarantine – the first 2 months
I decided to keep a journal of sorts of our time in quarantine. Not because it was extraordinary for us compared to others, but because the situation is extraordinary, and I want to remember certain details in the future. I feel like my kids will ask me about this time, and I want to remember […]
We adopted kittens during quarantine and it was the best decision ever
I feel like this might be very common at the moment. I’m sure we all know a friend who had adopted a pet since the pandemic began. Of course our decision to adopt kittens didn’t come lightly… It went something like this: Kids for the past 2 years: I wish we can get a kitten […]

What I learned from having my son’s hockey team sleep over
It was Saturday of the long weekend and spontaneously, Kyle decided to invite his hockey team for a sleep over. We sent out the message pretty late so we weren’t expecting a huge turn out.
