 Counting Blessings

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love my job.  One of the main reasons I love it so much is all of the amazing people I get to meet on a day-to-day basis.  Not only do I work with some of the best people ever, we transport some pretty terrific people from point [...]



 It’s BlogHer time… leaving in less than 48hours.

For the past few months, I have been watching all the #BLOGHER11 comments flowing by in my Twitter timeline.
“I bought this outfit for BlogHer”
“These shoes are going to be great for BlogHer”
“I just got invited to this party at BlogHer”
Here I sit, coffee in hand, less than 48 hours before it will be time to [...]



 BlogHer11 or “What the Hell am I doing?”

I leave for BlogHer in two days.
I am in no way prepared.
I have no idea what to pack, I have no idea what to bring, I have no idea what I will be doing once I get there.
I am starting to freak out.  I am super excited to go, and see what the fuss is [...]



 I’ve been “Mommy” for TEN YEARS

Ten years.

When you say “ten years”, it sounds like such a long time.
Why then, have the last ten years gone by in what feels like a blink of my eyes?
Ten years ago, today, my world changed.
Ten years ago, today, my world turned upside down.
Ten years ago, today, I became a Mother.

 Summer Blogging – Saskatoon

I have stayed in Saskatoon quite a few times for work, and once for a weekend course a few years ago.  When I stay for work, we stay super close to the airport, at a fairly good hotel.  Only problem is, there isn’t anything around the hotel, so we usually end up having dinner in [...]



 Some of You…. A Smile Post.

I was just sitting here, thinking about my friends, and smiling.
I have some pretty amazing friends.
You know who you are.
Some of you are new, some of you are old…  but each one of you brings something unique and amazing to my life.
Some of you are confidants, knowing practically everything about me, and yet still adoring [...]



 Summer Blogging – a Check In

I have been busy working, and busy drumming up descriptions for my Summer Blogging “Re-Discover My Country” idea.
I’ve been doing ok – yes, just ok – at getting out and finding the new and re-discovering the old. It’s hard to break old habits. I promise tho, it will get more interesting. Here [...]



 I’m Thinking About You

Four very simple words.
Have you ever stopped to think how your words, no matter how simple, can change the course of someone’s day?
It’s true. It’s true because words are among the most powerful weapons humans have at their disposal. They can inflict more damage than a knife and show more love than a [...]



 Back on Track – Summer Blogging

I have taken a non-scheduled break from Blogging.
It’s time for the break to end.
I have decided to spend my summer Blogging about my overnights.
No, No, NO! not overnights in THAT way…. we’ve covered off that topic in previous posts… Unless one of you wants to keep my Monsters for a night or two so [...]



 Everything I need to know…

I think by now, we are all familiar with the passage by Robert Fulghum, entitled “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”
It’s a simple list of life truths that we all learned when we were small.  I have included it here, in case you haven’t seen it.  I recommend that you read [...]
