Birthday Scavenger Hunt
My baby boy, Matthew just turned 11. It is hard to believe that time flies when you are having fun. He is 4’9″ and up to my nose, I predict that he will be as tall or taller than me when he hits 12.
Fall Apples in Ottawa
Since we are in Ottawa this fall, we havn’t had a chance to enjoy the wonderful apples from my mum’s tree in Winnipeg. But we have had our share of yummy free apples here. When the kids returned back to school in September we were pleasantly surprised to find out that the tree right in [...]
Happy Thanksgiving 2011
