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 […]
I told the kids they can gave whatever they want for dinner.
Do we had air fryer Oreos. And you know, sometimes kids make good choices!
Air fryer Oreos are like a trip down memory lane to when I was eating beignets in New Orleans.

Cool capture by my @stealthcamgsm. Momma bear and two cubs. Can you see the second cub? It’s kind of hiding.

Cabin cooking this weekend. Slices of brisket off the @traegergrills sitting on a bed of caramelized onions.
Sides of oven roasted fennel bulb and broccoli. My favourite way to eat - slow cooked food in the @fieldcompany cast iron pan.

Traveled the Fraser Canyon as a passenger this weekend so I was able to enjoy a flight of beers @mtnviewbrewing in Hope! Usually I’m the driver so this was a welcome change.
Along with my flight of beers I had the roasted chicken and kale wrap. Can you say “massive wrap”? Wow. What a feast. And it is loaded with kale so it was a healthy feast.

Went for a little walk and ended up @doughnutlove.ca Oops. Still got some exercise, right?
And the Easter bunny was here and left a few eggs on an old fashioned doughnut for me!
Add in my once a week treat of an oat milk latte and I’m a happy man.

Received my new @gothamwatches in the mail. I’m loving it. My kid asked if the accompanying monocle is coming in a separate package. Kids!
Feels cool to have this new watch in my pocket. Substantial feel to the watch without it being too heavy.

Sign at the pool says “no outside shoes beyond this point”.
95% of people at the pool this morning read it as saying “Look furtively around and then proceed on tiptoe in your boots as your boots drop clumps of mud on the pool deck where little children are walking barefoot.”
