Happy Canada to all! And on this Canada, what most are probably going to see as a most unpatriotic post; which do you prefer, Starbucks coffee or Tim Hortons? For me, if I have a choice, it is Starbucks over Tim Hortons every time. The coffee is always brewed perfectly and the taste is always […]

Starbucks 40th Birthday Gift; A New Logo and a Customer Uproar
Now my Sweetheart will be the first to tell you that I am not good with change. However, I do not think that it is true that I am scared of change. As proof, I admit that when Facebook changed from the original format a FB group started that said if the group got a […]
Another Restless Night in the Nursery
Now that was a brutal night. And the last time I let a doctor’s advice trump my experience and observations. The backgrounder; after the twins one year warranty check-up the doctor told us that the kids should be sleeping through the night. We were told that they have enough body weight to carry them through the […]
Missing the “Man Time” Part of Life
Perhaps the toughest thing that came along with having twin baby girls is the fact that I rarely ever get “man time.” Now make no mistake, it is a dream to have two of the most beautiful little girls the world has ever seen. And my wife, well, we are the very best of partners. […]
The Joy of Coffee
Do you ever stop and think about how our modern day conveniences came about? Things that we depend on everyday, things like, for example, coffee. Who was it that stopped and picked the coffee berries and then had the foresight to dry them and save the hard little nut like thing that was inside? Imagine […]
Do twins run in the family?
Today when people asked us about the twins we replied that in fact they were not twins, we had met on PlentyofFish.com and we both had babies that were the same age, purely coincidental that they were born on the same day. And then later when people asked if twins ran in the family, we […]
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 […]
Smiles and love
You have been awake for far too long in the night holding a crying baby, you are tired and you have a long day of work ahead outside of the house, you haven’t had a morning coffee yet, you are grumpy. And then you look in the crib and see two beautiful babies looking up […]
Coffee at the village
This morning Annalie and I went down to the Village for an early Thanksgiving coffee. It is neat to see so many other fathers out with their little ones. There was one father who came in with a baby even smaller and then my twin dolls. I like this. Yesterday I saw many fathers walking […]
Testing the Christmas treats @doughnutlove.ca .
Gingerbread doughnut blends all the gingerbread goodness and the wonder of a doughnut.
The Cranberry Orange Old fashioned brings together my three favourite flavours – cranberry, orange, and an old-fashioned doughnut.
And then the Butter tart doughnut. All the rich goodness of a butter tart nestled into a pillowy soft yeast doughnut.

And we’re home! A long week and a long (uneventful) drive home. Huge thanks to the Kanaka Band who have set up a Necessities Store that supports all community members AND they give away fresh produce that they grow in their local gardens.

Next step in this crazy adventure. Leaving Lytton and we’re headed to Lillooet. We’ll see what’s up at that point.

I’m not saying we are actually “out of food” but I did find these two items on the shelf at the cabin and started to think, “hmmm, what can I make with these.”

I needed (wanted?) to get out of town for a couple days before returning to work so Brown Bear and I headed up the Fraser Valley for lunch @mtnviewbrewing.
I’m still on a pretty restricted post-surgery diet so I let the kid choose our lunch.
She chose wisely. We shared the roasted veggie flatbread and she declared it the “most delicious savoury food she’s ever eaten”. Wow. I agree, it was very tasty!
The other option was a roasted Housin duck flatbread – next time!

The day my doctor says I can once again eat solid food! A delicious and nutritious Carrot Cake doughnut @doughnutlove.ca is definitely appropriate.

When you’re in the hospital waiting for surgery and you’re in isolation but your bestie wants to see you. You find a “work around”. Get’er dun!

Out of the house for the first time in a week and took one of the kids for brunch.
She had the veggie Benedict – see my Reels to see a beautiful medium poached egg.
I’m still sticking to my liquid diet so it’s an oat milk latte for brunch for me.

We found these little fire starters from @shopperpluscanada useful when we were out for the #5dadsgowild retreat @manningpark
They made starting a campfire pretty straightforward and easy to do. Just hold a match to the shavings in the centre and the fire is away and going.
