Creating the good old days, one day at a time.

Walkies in the wind
Slipped the girls into their piglet outfits and toques and then loaded them into the Mtn Buggy to go for a walk. I figured, they sleep once they are rolling, they need a nap, I need a Starbucks, so let’s roll. Almost as soon as Annalie is buckled in place she goes to sleep. Blissed right out.…

Garbage duty
Not only do I get the pleasure of changing the pissy diapers off the twins, this morning I had the extra pleasure of scraping the dirty diapers off our driveway. For some reason the crows decided our garbage cans must contain food. So they took advantage of the fact that our garbage cans were lying…

Baby formula is not…
A word to the wise…if you perchance run out of milk in your house and you need some kind of “coffee whitener” do not try to use baby formula. Now maybe the babies do not understand what weird tasting shit that they are drinking but…my goodness. No milk in the fridge and no coffee whitener…

A delicate balance that is impossible to make

Federal by-election today
Today there is a federal by-election in my riding and it is one of the first times that I have not been involved in the action. My priorities have changed. At any rate, we wish Fin Donnelly, the New Democrat candidate, the best of luck in the New West-Coquitlam-Port Moody by-election. On another note, we…

Sunday breakfast
Story and I are back home from our weekly Sunday breakfast. All is good and back to normal in life after having been away for a couple of days. Sitting in blog-central with Annalie squirming on my knee as a tap out my posting. Funny when I was watching the twins sleeping last night, even…

Stealing away for snuggles and cuddles
Last night I took the opportunity to sneak away from the business I am currently involved in and went home to see the girls. It was so very cool to be back at home, even after only being away for two days, and see the babies. Of course, and obviously so, Caragh did not want me to…
Got any book recommendations?
