We had a very nice time at Shuswap Lake for Xmas… as you can see from the video above. (Note it’s 12 min long.) For a more condensed view, here’s a picture of my whole family on Boxing Day.Â
Hope your holiday was as good!

Wishing all our friends and family the very best!

We’ve had quite a few guests in the last few weeks. It’s been great to catch up with some friends we haven’t seen for a while, and celebrate with people that we have spent quite a bit of time with this year.
What are they doing? you may ask.Â
Well, silly! they are showing their “babies” (dolls) the birds eating the seeds off the pinecone birdfeeders they made and hung outside their window. Of course.
Moments like this I forget that they were whining, crying and bossing me around an hour ago. It gets ya through.

This past week the girls met their paternal set of grandparents for the first time. Grannie and Grandad flew in from Alberta and brought the cold weather with them. But we managed to brave the chill and go out to do quite a few fun things. Jrock took three days off so we had lots [...]
We spent a week in Calgary - sad circumstances brought us there (the passing of my grandfather) but it was still a good visit with family and friends. The girls and I travelled the first night to Invermere and stayed at my sister’s house, then continued onto Calgary.  Jrock joined us for the last of five days [...]
Well, apparently NOT “Damina”!
The girls were pretty thrilled when we went to visit Santa yesterday afternoon. Sugar was surprised that his nose was “just like hers”; I think she had Santa and Rudolph mixed up. Spice was the braver one, as per usual, and sat on Santa’s lap and chatted with him. Sugar [...]

Today the girls told us that Santa is called “Da-MEE-na” in Ethiopia.Â
Can anyone with older Ethiopian kids confirm this? Their language sound ability is a lot different from this time last year and I’m wondering if they got it right; plus I’m pretty surprised they had word of Santa at all in ET-
Thanks for your [...]
If you are like me, you love giving books. I wanted to draw your attention to a few books that have gone over really well with my kids (you can see a small selection scrolling on top but there are tons of multicultural / adoption / nature kids books in my store) as well as [...]
The strangest thing just happened.
I was getting ready for a Christmas party this evening, in the bathroom in my bathrobe, when the doorbell rang. I opened the door and apologized for my appearance to the two teenagers standing on the steps. They asked if I had any bottles or cans I wanted to get rid [...]
My first crack at wedding veil braids. Turned out decently!
The wreaths the girls made at home from some reused tissue paper. Cute, eh?
What do you want for Christmas, little girls?

Today the girls wrote their letters to Santa Claus - they were really excited to send them off.Â
You can see that they put a lot of thought into their letters (scribed by Daddy and Mommy.)

The whole Christmas thing is pretty darn exciting for them [...]
