F is for

Faeries

I am one of those people who does/doesn’t believe in Faeries. Is that clear?
I want to believe, I find the thought enchanting. But I don’t believe. When I was little I would pretend to believe in faeries, and leprachauns, and elves and such fanciful beings. This is a brillant movie about the Cottingley Fairies – [...]

E is for

Early.
Which is something that I pretty much never am!
My Grandpa used to ask incredulously ”There’s another 6 o’clock?” He began his day by waking around 9 and relaxing in bed (at least by the time I was on the scene), then rising at 10 am for a leisurely breakfast with the paper.
I think he had it just [...]

Kinnearing

I thought it would be fun to experiment with a new photography style.

That’s a picture of Nagini.
Let’s try that again.

Here’s a Kinnear of our kids raiding our daycare garden. It is loaded with beans, peas and lettuce. Oh, and there are going to be potatoes enough for a township I am sure, [...]

‘Just [...]

A is for

ALASKA!
We will be setting sail for Alaska in few weeks – aboard Holland America!

This is a trip we have made before, and No: It does not get boring. Cruising to Alaska is ideal because some of our group don’t enjoy hot weather, we have the bonus of leaving from, and returning to, the port of Vancouver. [...]

Kid’s Party

(This is a picture heavy post — mostly for the 5  family members who didn’t make it to the party this year)
Growing up our parents threw an annual event we dubbed the “Kid’s Party”. It was an all day event of hedonistic proportions that we loved. Our Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and parents bought each of us a [...]

Hmmmm…

What does it mean when something arrives in the mail that you have no recollection ordering?
 
I was seriously thinking I should order this over the weekend – and here it is in my mail box. (super fast shipping – thank you Sandra Singh!) I adore this designer’s patterns. Versatile, feminine, unique and let me tell [...]
