It’s been almost a year since I last posted anything related to anything, which I hadn’t quite realized. Maybe it’s because I updated a couple of sections of the blog pages to include more picture related documentation of our adventures. Maybe it’s because I haven’t felt there was much to write about or maybe I find writingContinue reading “Catching Up”

Our 1st Christmas
Our First Christmas has passed since Dave passed away. It was filled with laughter, joy and a little sadness. I keep wondering where I pull my strength from, how I can move forward without feeling lost in pain and sadness. Maybe it’s just who I am and that I don’t get lost in those feelings.Continue reading “Our 1st Christmas”
Preparing for the Winter Holidays
Every year you prepare for the holidays. Purchasing gifts, making plans to spend time with family and friends. This is the cycle that we live due to holidays that we celebrate. It doesn’t change with the loss of a loved one. It doesn’t change even though you are not sure you can think about beingContinue reading “Preparing for the Winter Holidays”
Kids back to something normal
On September 1, 2021 the kids started back at school, in person. They are very happy to be back among friends and being in a physical school. This also makes me happy as I don’t have to fight with them every day to do their schoolwork and focus on what needs to be done relatedContinue reading “Kids back to something normal”
Holiday Season | Progress
Dave returned home from the hospital in a “medically stable” state on December 12 in the afternoon. “Medically stable” meant that there had the seizures were generally under control and there was no good medical reason for him to remain in hospital. We were a bit skeptical as there were still focal seizures happening throughoutContinue reading “Holiday Season | Progress”

We were surprisingly calm and unworried when we arrived at the hospital to check in. We both likely anxious, butContinue reading “Challenges and Changes Pt2”
Challenges and Changes Pt 1
Big changes happening very fast. I thought that I was adaptable, that change didn’t scare me so very much, but apparently I wasn’t being honest with myself. The last two months have been the most challenging months that I have ever had to face and the journey isn’t over. It might never be fully over. Continue reading “Challenges and Changes Pt 1”
Christmas Up North 2016
Christmas 2015 was spent in the Great White North (well not that far north) – High Level, AB with my side of the family. It was about -17C for most of the time we were there or colder so we didn’t get outside much. It was nice to spend a few days with Grandma, GrandpaContinue reading “Christmas Up North 2016”
RANT – The Trouble With Childcare
I am not complaining about my current childcare provider – she is amazing and I am so blessed to have her looking after my two boys. I am ranting about the for profit childcare organizations that exist in Canada, which I find absolutely criminal and the fact that these organizations have been contracted by SchoolContinue reading “RANT – The Trouble With Childcare”
Christmas Day 2013
Santa came to visit us…special for the little boys. He found Daxen’s penguin that had gone missing and brought some toys. There were so many presents under and around the tree that I couldn’t get everything in one shot. These pictures are of the sock opening, gifts opening and the Chinese style gift exchange. Video ofContinue reading “Christmas Day 2013”
