What's the best gift you've ever received, and why? I'll put mine in the next post :)

We are experiencing a lot of severe weather this summer, more so than normal. Tonight we have had hours of storms rolling through - grapefruit sized hail, tornado warnings only 15 min. from here, and lots of rain and thunder. I really hate this weather, so posting some pics to distract myself...

My kiddos (aged 5 and 14) are at Gramma's for a week ... and I'm not sure what to do with myself lol What would you do?

I'm having surgery in a week - don't worry, I'm ok - but made me think ... how many surgeries have other people had? No need to share details (unless you want to, just you don't have to!) - but my count is 5, going on 6. 2 c-sections, an ovary removal, gastric bypass, and MOHS (skin cancer...

My littlest 'graduated' Kindergarten today, I had to share a couple pics. She was so excited her daddy got her flowers, and she pointed out all her friends, and the boy she's going to marry lol

So I'm Canadian ... And Albertan (though I don't always admit that, as Albertans can be crazy and I generally don't fit in with the very conservative views). But right now - Edmonton Vs. Calgary in the second round of the playoffs ... This is like the ultimate in sports watching. I don't...

I met someone new today at a neighbour's house and in conversation it came up that they don't watch tv. Doesn't even own one. Mind blown. Seriously. I asked what they did to not be bored lol So it made me think - maybe I'm not in the norm watching so much tv (nightly, while I scrap). Do...

Wishing you all a happy Mother's Day! If you're a mom, a mom figure, or want to be a mom, you deserve all the love! (image from Twitter)

We bought 9 trees today for our backyard and that made me feel very much like an adult ... like an adulty adult that gets excited to have trees lol We are going to put them in our back yard - it's 1/3 acre and currently has 0 trees (we just moved here).

We got a convertible 'Fun' car last year, and this year I want to create a playlist for cruising around in it. Looking for suggestions on upbeat, happy songs - I love 90's, 2000's, pop/top 40 and retro stuff, of all different genres. What would you put on your cruising around with the top down...

When I started at my current employer 10 years ago the first holiday to come up was Easter and I was informed that 'Easter Monday' was, in fact, a holiday and a paid day off. Still think that's funny 10 years later but very excited to have a 4 day weekend! lol Does anyone else have a 4 day...

I've been bingeing this on Netflix, and got to the end of Season 5 so I'm a few episodes behind now, but wondering if anyone else here watches? It took me a couple tries to get into it, but once I did - Wowee, I couldn't stop watching! Love the love story!

I have no idea which one of these I should have and/or use?? Why is there so many??? lol I like the Lightroom app on my phone, but I just export to my camera roll and then transfer to my computer to scrap - but it would be nice to do it on my MacBook too. Any hints?

We bought a new house last summer. It’s great - it has a garage (new to us!) and driveway (also new, we’ve never had one before). The driveway seemed amazing - we could fit 4 vehicles on it (4 full size trucks even), our 28 foot holiday trailer fits on it, all was good. Fast forward to...

What's your primary method of transportation? Walk, Bike, Bus, Car, Moped, Motorcycle, Ride shares? Anything I'm not thinking of? lol It occurred to me today while driving on some really nasty roads the last few days that a lot of people don't have to deal with that, because they get...

Our radio station posted this and it’s a hoot reading the answers, so I thought I’d challenge you all to answer this….

Any other reality TV fans out there - we are currently watching The Amazing Race and Celebrity Big Brother. For The Amazing Race I really hope Penn and Kim do great - I love their vlogs, so relatable as parents lol For Celebrity big brother I really had no idea who most of them were, so I'm...

Who else has binged it all already? We're halfway through the season, we just started yesterday lol!

Someone texts/calls and says they're almost at your home, unexpected. How do you spend that 5 minutes??? Me - I'm throwing dishes in the dishwasher and probably swishing the toilet on the main floor so it's fresh. If there's time I'll put away coats and shoes at the door so that they don't...

I thought of this last night when I climbed into our (outdoor) hot tub, that this is probably something only Canadians would do (besides say Sorry a lot)… The temp: The activity: What do you do that is not weird to you but might be to others? Lol
