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. Emeraude had made other water themed crafts at school that morning which included a sensory [Read more]
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]
Sunday, March 8th, was a beautiful day and I intended to take advantage of it and did! It took most of the day to get to the fun outside part but towards the end of the afternoon (after groceries and the hospital of course – more painwere finally on our way out into the snow. Lloyd [Read more]
My birthday was off to a great start as when I returned from the hospital (pain meds) around 7h45 the house was quiet and still… I thought maybe the kids were busy eating in the kitchen and went towards my room to hang my coat. In the doorway of my room I found Lloyd standing [Read more]
Still having fatigue issues (living with 7 hour days at best) and needing too many trips to the ER for pain meds to be able to use what little time I do have living. I was so happy to make it out sliding with Emeraude yesterday (thanks to supper @ Mom’s that I didn’t need [Read more]

A very long day, faster paced than I like to live through but all in all it went well. I started the day at the hospital, getting pain meds after having taking oral meds to no avail around 6:30am and it looks like my day will most likely finish with a trip there as well [Read more]
I was dissapointed this morning when I looked through the Chronicle Journal realizing they did not print any photos or the article I sent yesterday. I worked my butt off to make the submission in plenty of time for it to be added to the paper feeling that there had been such planning and effort [Read more]
Frosty Days wound up Sunday with box races at the Kiwissa Ski Centre and snowmobile drag races on Manitouwadge Lake. Both events were very well attend and helped work up some big appetites for the bean supper held as a fundraiser by Manitouwadge’s Cancer Assistance Group. An enthusiastic crowd [Read more]
Congratulations once again to Ab Doyle who was presented with Citizen of the Year 2008! Here is the article which the Chronicle ran Sunday about the opening ceremonies (if you’re looking for it, it ran Sunday, Feb 22 under the title, Fun had at Frosty Days: Manitouwadge Celebrates Frosty Days [Read more]
Emeraude is often asking to eat snow so I thought this was a good experiment to let her see for herself why I prefer that she doesn’t. She picked up these ‘ice balls’ from the side of the road and we intend to do the experiment again with some snow from the backyard. [Read more]
Jan.19.2009 Emeraude had tried adding coffee to her liquid glue the other day to make a picture that looked like dirt but the coffee disolved and looked more like mud. We found this very interesting and I suggested that we try to see what other kitchen ingredients might disolve when we added them [Read more]
Emeraude & I joined Lloyd for night skiing at the Kiwissa Ski Club tonight for the first time this year and WOW! it was beyond words… We had gone once last year but Emeraude had not enjoyed skiing in the dark as we had gone down the Bunny (our regular run) which was actually off [Read more]
Last year, 2008, Ontario had it’s first official Family Day which was put in place fufilling an election promise from Premier Dalton McGuinty. It is great to see that, in Manitouwage, this is being taken to heart with the majority of businesses/services (including all the schools, the OEYC [Read more]
