As I am clearing the dust from my computer files, I find this little post. It is old . . . it was written before we pulled the plug on our “old life” and while I was still deeply involved […]
You know those moments, in the midst of chaos, where you have a little love affair with your family? I am in one of those moments now. The girls are building Lego, the dude is giggling and …
We dropped the kiddies off at school this morning, and Si to daycare. Hubby and I, together, finally. We have been on this island 10 weeks, and today is the first real day, wide open ahead …
I have always had mixed feelings about going on holiday. Don't get me wrong, I love to travel, and I want to do more of it. I love taking my kids to new places and having …
We are a "responsibility" heavy family. (meaning, we have lots of responsibilities) Not things like jobs and bills (well, yes, bills, but they are conveniently forgotten by me, in my little bubble) More like bunnies, and dogs and hamsters. . …

I keep getting questions, nosy, detail requesting questions. The "seriously, how did you actually do this" kind of questions. Money questions. Here is the thing. I am not going to open up our bank accounts and let you peruse our …
Hubby and I are both home this week. Finally. It has been over 4 weeks since we have had more than a day or two together here. That is pretty sucky. So, this week was …
I was raised in a suburban Vancouver, and then raised my kids in suburban Vancouver, up until September. And as with many things from our old life, we didn't realize what we were missing, until we got …
I started this whole journey by attending an everyWOMAN conference in Whistler in April. Now, this past weekend, 6 month since then, I went back to another one. It was a little strange re-visiting the site …
