Happy Easter!
My little man was up bright & early this morning so the Easter egg hunt kicked off at 7:00am. I would have rather slept in but with Thomas we’re not allowed that privilege anymore. Although this is Thomas’ third Easter it’s the first one he’s really known, and he now rates Easter [...]

Mountsberg Conservation Area has a great maple sugar bush, a play barn for kids to romp in, horse wagon rides, a petting zoo and a Raptor Centre for injured birds of prey who can’t be released.  Oh let’s not forget the reservoir and wetlands, home of many birds and fish.  Since the sap was running [...]

More Maple Syrup

When you live in Canada maple syrup is pretty well a staple for pancakes, and when the sap is running it alerts us that winter is past and we’re heading into glorious spring weather.  With all the snow we had this winter, although it wasn’t a very cold winter, it sure is nice to know [...]

It’s the season and the sap is running! We are blessed with numerous heritage & conservation sites close by that celebrate the delicious nectar of the sugar maple tree. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll likely blog a few times about maple syrup festivals.

Sunday proved to be a glorious sunny day with not too much wind. It also proved to be hard on the body as we had to hand shovel the driveway since our snow-thrower decided to pack it in At least Justin had fun whipping around on the ATV clearing snow at [...]

Mammoth Snow :-(

We managed to clear the snow Saturday afternoon, about 8″, and Justin cleared a couple of inches Friday night. He cleared the deck off tonight, another 8″. So it seems we’ve had around 18″ so far. It’s still snowing! Hopefully it will stop overnight. We’ll have to scrounge around for [...]

Stuck indoors waiting out the snow storm it was decided that we should make cookies.  Thomas got stuck right in!  After taste testing the chocolate chips to make sure they were good he proved to be a pro at stirring them into the dough along with some almonds.  He dropped spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet, sat in [...]

We got a call last night that a realtor wanted to show our house today. During the middle of a snowstorm? [...]

That’s the answer you’ll get if you ask Thomas what he does at gymnastics! Thomas enjoys his weekly gymnastics class every Thursday. It’s a marvel watching these little tykes. They go from being so uncoordinated to actually being able to do a somewhat controlled front roll and walk on a balance beam [...]
