Emeraude and I often stop, on our way in or out of the house to enjoy our garden and take note of the changes and what is growing or admire catepillars, birds, worms, spiders or aunts, any of the creatures that make their homes there. Here are some of the things we enjoyed today, June [Read more]
Emeraude loves nature, but so do most young children. This night, her friend Xander was going to try out his new kite and so we met at the Lion’s beach bringing along our kites as well. The wind wasn’t quite right and so we ditched the kites for tadpoles. It was a ton of fun. [Read more]

Emeraude’s beautiful princess bed broke this week. I’m not sure if it was brother leaning in to give her a kiss and the bed couldn’t handle his weight or the dog (I don’t think it could’ve been the latter as she doesn’t weigh that much more than Emeraude). In [Read more]
Emeraude has been attending the Manitouwadge Nursery School since December and in that time, her teacher Nikki has not ceased to impress with the quality and educational value of her crafts. This one was no different… The dangers of the sun were never so obvious as when your child pulls [Read more]
Our birdfeeder in the front yard has become a rather popular spot for the birds on the street lol. In spite of the crows and ravens liking it, the little birds still come freequently as well. It has been raining often lately and so I pulled it closer to the house (front living room window) [Read more]
Yet another post about Canada Day… It ended up being quite hectic and I am once again blessed to have patient, easy going children. At one point Mom picked us up just to turn around 1/2 way down the street and drop us off at home again when I realized we were in fact an [Read more]
Well, it was kind of a crazy day but definetely fun. I had realized on Wednesday when we thought the festivities would be that afternoon that the only clothes Emeraude had which were Canada Day-ish were for cooler temps and so had went to the Bargain shop to see if they might have something (very [Read more]
So, as I am still not receiving adequate doses of my pain meds, Lloyd is our cook much more often than I would like. Thankfully, he’s still making the best of it by inventing recipes now and then to keep things fun.Today at lunch, he checked out what ingredients he had for pizza and then [Read more]
The above photo is of a tree that was here when we moved in. It was, at that time, well above the eavestrough on the front of the house but had sick branches and was out of control so one fall I “trimmed” it back. I had just bought new hedge cutters and must admit [Read more]
It was odd this morning not having Emeraude getting ready for Nursery School, both my kids are now officially on summer break. We should have been parking our camper at White Lake today, i’ve had to backup our arrival date as their has been no change in my situation vis-a-vis emergency room [Read more]
I have had many requests lately for prints and thought it would be a good idea to post my price list. I am hoping to have either a page here dedicated to HunterPhotography or more ideally a site just for my business but until then, prints can still be ordered (to have your event covered, [Read more]
I should have been out there with her. I will never get this time back. I should have gone for a bike ride with Lloyd by now (he’s been out on his bike for 2 months) but have not. This time will never come again, I have lost it. [Read more]
