We are listening to the “Mouse and the Motorcycle” trilogy in the car. Started #3 today. That helps. 2- Fitting in grocery shopping, canadian tire and [...]

1- My children are brilliant. Genetically – they are good, but their environment has been supportive and encouraging of their growth. So pleased I have made decisions to better their early years. Seeing, in my niece, the effect of neglect on a child. The effect of always having something better to do on a child. [...]

1- My youngest was thrilled when she met the horse that she is “co-boarding”. You see – she wants her own horse. She is not happy to share the one (it was 2) that we had. So I asked a woman at the barn who has a lovely 33 year old horse if my daughter [...]
