It's been at least 10 years since I last rode a bike. Probably longer if I really sit down and do the math. I rode bikes a lot growing up, but in highschool when I injured my knee, bike riding was something that I wasn't easily able to do. I still stayed active, switching to running (also hurt) and rollerblading, and ultimately walking. In university I switched to yoga, something that I still enjoy doing, although not as regularly as I should, I will be the first to admit! This past weekend, … [Read more...]

There is a video tucked away somewhere deep in my parent's basement. It would take some doing to find it, and then even more time to find a VCR that would allow us to watch it, but I know it's still there. Without even finding the tape, I know exactly what's on it. My dad is a Trap Shooter and for years would always re-load his own bullets in our basement at home. This meant that we probably had a lot more LARGE barrels in our home that the average family (who probably had none). When the … [Read more...]

Donovan's been having some "trouble's" at DayHome that revolve around the letter P and the Toilet (enough said), and we've been motivating him with earning extra privileges at home in the evenings of good days.

After much debate he picked Toy Story 2 - the one where Andy is away at Summer Camp. Which naturally led to the … [Read more...]

We had a mini-vacation this weekend, and it was FANTASTIC! We drove up to Edmonton on Thursday morning in eager anticipation of the NHL hockey game that we got tickets for this Christmas. It was the show down of my Edmonton Oilers vs. Jamie's Montreal Canadians! Because the game was on a Thursday we decided to make a little weekend out of it, and stayed in the city until Sunday. Of course I use the term "city" loosely as other than the game on Thursday night, we actually never left the mall! … [Read more...]

When I started back into a regular yoga practice Donovan always asked, "Mommy, when can I go to ooga too?" And for the longest time, "When you are older" was the answer. Last week I tried out a new yoga studio in town, it is most defiantly not the same work out at my other practice was, but it is a nice change of pace, and a good way to get back to the "yoga basics". I still very much want to get back into a "work-out" style yoga, but just needed a little break from my previous practice. … [Read more...]
