We're Going to the Zoo!

I'm so glad I was able to visit the zoo 1 more time with Bronson before heading back to work! He absolutely adores it and never tires of the animals or the attractions. Check out tips for visiting the zoo here. The day was perfect and we got there right as the gates were opening. There is something very cool about being virtually the only people in Prehistoric Park (not that I'd want to do that in the dark). If you haven't had the chance to go to the Calgary Zoo yet, Illuminasia is happening now so check it out!

Stampede Time!

We love taking in the festivities the city offers during Stampede week. This year was the first time we went to the Bowness Stampede Parade. It was the perfect thing for Bronson and so much more relaxed then going downtown. See my top 5 tips for Stampeding with toddlers here. A HUGE thank you to Angela and Eli for inviting us to join in on their parade tradition.

Welcome!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I am a novice at this and am going WAY out of my comfort zone to publish my thoughts, projects and life. The heart of my posts really will be my family. I am constantly working on being more present and in my daily interactions with my son and my husband because as everyone says "it goes by so fast". So here's to celebrating family and all of life's quirks that come with it!

As a teacher, I used to save all of my major household "to-do" list items for the summer. I would put things off from January onwards because I know I could get so much done over the summer break. Then I had Bronson, and as I got older, I felt the summers passing by much quicker. I made a little promise to myself that I would work harder at prioritizing my list and to organize in a more sustainable way throughout the year. So far it's getting better, although I still use many of my school holidays during the year to get my projects done. I'd love to see more ideas for organization if you have some stellar ones! Feel free to share or point me in the right direction. I'd have to say my biggest in -need of an intervention is my fridge. Maybe I just need to buy a new fridge?
