Great morning with my girl. Happy to be getting our mornings back somewhat (result of solumedrol I think). We started out making ‘soup’ and recipes with the beads and too many bowls/ladels/potato masher lol and then switched to some bracelets. Emeraude began working on a necklace for [Read more]

Some of the other seeds are finally coming up. The only ones still hiding are the parsnips. Wondering what to do about the ‘greenhouse’ lids with the peas touching the top, I don’t want her healthy sprouts to start leaning over but worry if I take it off the ones that still need [Read more]

Well, Emeraude & I went sliding again today. It was AWESOME! So warm out we had a ton of fun (+ 1 crash which I survived suprisingly well lol). Lloyd is still sick, this morning it almost seemed like he was still getting worse which was really worrysome. I’m still not feeling very [Read more]

I was inspired this Friday morning when picking up Emeraude from Nursery School to attempt this craft. Nikki, her N.School teacher was kind enough to spare some blue cellophane which really is a nice touch.

Monday I decided to keep it simple. Lloyd was nice enough to realize we were loosing our day and after badminton he became a chef.

Emeraude has become quite fond lately, of striking a pose as she likes then to immediately have me show her the photos and see what feeling so fun looks like. I wanted to post these because sometimes, I can be having a tough day and, if Lloyd is at school and Emeraude is napping, I can [Read more]

Emeraude is resting for 1/2 hour to give me a chance to build up a little energy… It’s a really bad day, more fatigue than I have dealt with in a long time, I think there may be stress factors contributing to this situation, hopefully some fresh air fun with my girl will help with [Read more]

Last Tuesday, I had some chores to do before supper and suggested to Emeraude & Lloyd they read a book together. They found a nice book which included stickers to add to each page. The stickers were not numbered in any way so after Lloyd read the page, Emeraude would be challenged to decide [Read more]
