knitting for little fingers

Posted on March 4, 2013 by

Since we were at home all weekend because of a little sick bug being passed around, it was the perfect opportunity to learn something new.

Little L is not quite so little anymore. My baby turned 3 this past weekend! We had a fun celebration amongst friends and family. The kids jumped until their hearts content in an indoor trampoline park — the perfect place for my high-energy girl. Continue reading →

Posted on August 19, 2012 by

Around here the unofficial end of summer is signaled by the opening and closing of the CNE. It’s one of my favourite things to do in the summer. The sights, sounds and smells of the CNE are something I remember from my childhood. Taking the girls there now is an extension of my own memories. Continue reading →

K has gotten really good with picking up and eating with her chopsticks over the summer. She’s so proud of herself — as she should be! My very determined girl. She’ll grow up to be a perfectionist, I bet you! Continue reading →
