Beautiful Calling

We’re (DH, not me!) driving down the highway; I just happened to have my camera with me! I keep a bucket in between the littles’ car seats. The bucket has books, small toys etc. in it so that they can easily reach them and entertain themselves when we are driving about. It has been a [...]

Tracy, author of the Daily Mom Diaries (and a fellow Canadian!) emailed me to let me know she had given me an award on her site.  It’s my second award ever. Thank you, Tracy! For the “One Lovely Blog Award” you need to: * Thank & link to the person that gave you the award. [...]

My DH introduced me to Windows LiveWriter back when I first started blogging. I was on Blogger and if you’ve ever tried to write a post on the teeny screen in the Blogger editor you’ll know why I was so excited about LiveWriter. It’s a nice big full sized editor! LiveWriter works in both Blogger [...]
