Sharing what drives me to be a better woman, wife & mother.
This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada. Holidays are hard for many people for many reasons. Most of us find our way to turkey this weekend.

This is my view tonight. As I lay here in the pool, the word peace came to mind. I was overwhelmed by how calm I felt and how peaceful it is. After 8pm, after the 3 littles are in bed, after the teens are all organized with their evening plans. Quiet. Peaceful. Got... Continue Reading →
Cleaning? I would rather be at the beach or at least cleaning the pool! I love a clean house and I do need to clean when I'm upset but cleaning isn't usually on the top of my summer fun list. I'm pretty sure it's not on anyone's summer fun list. The problem is.... ... Continue Reading →
