Kate & Chloe are busy getting the front window ready for Christmas. Today Chloe’s class walked down to Town Hall to put their hand-made decorations on the big tree which will be lit up tomorrow evening at 6:30. Then on Saturday is the Santa Claus parade, also starting around 6:30. So with [...]

It’s a good thing some people are easy to buy gifts for or I’d never get my shopping done. Photo holiday cards are a good way to take care of distant relatives, just buy a picture frame, print out some new pics of the family and mail ‘em out. Write a little update [...]

Thanksgiving was never much of a big deal in my family. We’d have a big meal though of course, usually with turkey but sometimes just ham or chicken. I don’t really see what all the fuss is about with turkey though anyway, it tends to be quite dry compared to chicken and we [...]

Seafest starts this year on July 16th. One of the really interesting things I’ve noticed this year is that they’re not going to allow people to park on Main Street during the parade. The primary reason is cited as being for safety reasons, so that emergency vehicles will still have room to travel [...]

I’ve only ever owned one Hawaiian shirt in my whole life and I regret to report that I have never been to Hawaii at all. I’d love to go sometime though, I had a taste of tropical weather when I went to Singapore a number of years ago, but I think Hawaii would be [...]

Monster’sMother’s day is coming soon, May 11th this year, and as usual I’ll probably just be getting mine a cake from Sobeys. Not very original, but that’s what I’ve been doing for the last 5 years or so, why break tradition eh? I’m kidding of course, along with the cake we always try [...]

Just learned today that IZEAfest will be from September 11th to the 14th in Orlando, Florida. We were hoping that it would be a little earlier though because since Chloe will be starting school in Sept. there’s no way we’ll be able to take a week off for traveling. IZEAfest is the new [...]

Easter is coming up soon and around here that tends to mean little presents for the little ones. Along with hiding eggs around the house we’ll have to give her a basket to put the eggs in and probably a couple little cheap toys to add to her collection. For the big kids [...]

If there were ever the perfect time to send flowers, it’s just a few days away. Send some Valentines roses to your sweetheart to brighten her/his day. Unless you’ve got a wife like mine. She likes the flowers but insists it’s ultimately a waste of money and goes on about how I [...]

Whenever we go up to Halifax we stay at the Econo Lodge. It’s only 10 minutes or so from the downtown area and now that I know where I’m going it’s only a short distance to the major malls as well. Like most smaller hotels it’s very near the train tracks though so [...]

I hope everyone has had a safe and merry Christmas and gotten lots of good loot. Chloe had fun ripping into all her presents and made out like a bandit this year. The general theme seemed to be kitchen stuff, toy blender, mixer, chopper and toaster along with little plates and plastic foods. [...]

When we went away to Halifax a couple weeks ago we left Kate in charge of the store for a couple of days and asked her to decorate the windows if she had time. When we got back we were pleasantly surprised to see that she had painted the windows, we had no idea [...]

Christmas may be getting close but it’s not too late to get those last Christmas cards into the mail. Shopping for cards at the local stores is time consuming and it can be hard to find just the right one. Finding cards that have a picture or design that you really like is [...]
