Photos: Moose 2.0
Moose 2.0 We had visitors on the weekend! Two moose were in our yard. So fun! A couple of years ago they (or maybe other members of their family) were here, too. The pictures were a bit better a couple of years ago, but that’s because I had Bryce’s help to keep the pups quiet. This time, Bryce was working nights, so sleeping at 9am and Bella and Lily were in the house barking up a storm. It’s a wonder I got any shots at…

Photos: Polar Bear Plunge
Polar Bear Plunge The plunge – the slogan – freeze’em for a reason! Why would we jump in ice water? To raise money for a charity, of course! This year Bryce and I decided to get each other unforgettable experiences and keep the cost down low. This was his gift to me – jumping in freezing ice water in the middle of January, in Edmonton – Northern Canada. So cold, so fun, so unforgettable, that’s for sure! We love the idea of stepping out of…

Photos: Lexi Girl
This is Lexi Girl! It’s Friday and I wanted to share some adorable photos! Lexis is a terrier mix and she belongs to friends of ours – we watched her for 10 special days while they hit the road for Vancouver and these are some of my favourite shots I got on my iPhone. Not the greatest quality, yet she’s cute nonetheless. First off, where does the name ‘Lexi Girl’ come from? Well, it just sort of started as something I said. When my dogs,…

Photos: Farmers’ Market
The famers’ market! The best place to spend your Saturday morning. Bryce and I hit up the Strathcona Farmers’ Market last weekend and got some pretty neat items. Some tomatoes and then a funky sculpture made out of scraps. Part of the fun is putting money back into the community by buying local. Another part is getting great tasting food. The colours of the food – so vibrant! It’s the fall, so you can the pumpkins and the variety of squash. They’re not just for…

Photos: Sweet Potato Dog Treats
Sweet potato dog treats! Yes – especially for this princess birthday. Miss Bella (or as I mostly call her – Bella-rama) turned 11 yesterday. She’s had some close calls over the last couple of years, so it’s quite special that she’s still with us and in relatively good health. Dogs are wonderful – so cuddly and just fun to hang out with. This little recipe is easy. Recipe 1 – buy sweet potatoes 2 – slice them thinly 3 – bake at 250 degrees for…

Photos: Michigan Hike
Michigan Hike It’s that time of year – time to hike. The fall colours are blooming and the weather is cool enough that you won’t over heat. It’s perfect. A few weeks ago we were travelling to Ontario for my brother’s wedding, which was so great, and we drove through the American way. We spent one night in North Dakota and the other night in Michigan. We woke up early after our second night and decided to go for a hike for a couple of…

Photos: Noah’s Ark Waterpark
Noah’s Ark Waterpark What a fun place to spend a day (or two). When I was little we went to Noah’s Ark on vacation. I’ll never forget constantly asking if my brother, who’s name is Noah, could get in for free because of his name. I was so proud of him and thought he should be rewarded! The sun was out, the day was 32 degrees C or 90 degrees F, and it was September 1. Thank goodness for the heatwave that moved in to…
