What I Learned This Weekend: Goats, Soccer, And Dr. Seuss

1.  Kawartha Settlers Village in Bobcaygeon was a big hit with my kids. I’m thinking this would make a good album cover for whenever they decide to make an album.   2. New cleats surprisingly did help my soccer game.  We are still the worst team, and I am still a lousy player, but I … Read more

What I Learned (And Relearned) This Weekend: Lakefield, Snakes, And Orange Hats

1. The Lakefield Sidewalk Sale has created a divide with some of the local business owners.  I want everyone to get along and prosper, so sit down and talk.  The idea of it in Isabel Morris Park sounds good, no?

Yep summer 2014 is fading as fast as it came, but there’s still time to “wrap” it up on a positive note (yes that was a clever Christmas reference;).

So if you wanna go, why not go free! I have a free family pass to giveaway to whoever answers the following question  right OR the 8th person to answer, whichever comes first! (This question is from Santa btw!)

What I Learned This Weekend: The Secret, Groupies, And My Dog

I’ve decided to make this a weekly Monday entry, so there. 1. I finally watched “The Secret”, you know that famous book that changed so many peoples’ lives.  Well, I watched the doc on Netflix and it was good.  Positive thinking really is the route to travel. I think most Yogis have tapped into “The … Read more

“MAWWWWM, are we in CHINA??”  The innocent and genuine words from my beautiful 4 yr old at about the 6.5 hour mark on the way home from Saint John New Brunswick…take into consideration we travelled 15 hours there and 3 hours the day before to St. Andrews to whale watch.  It was a last minute … Read more
