So everything happens in three’s. This week I have been questioning where we live. We chose an urban area in Port Moody, thinking we can live the city life outside of Vancouver. But, our urban area is close to the beautiful British Columbia wilderness so when we saw three bears a block from our home … More Port Moody’s Investigative Couch Reporter
If you’ve followed my bear dilemma these last few days, you know that I’ve been a little stressed. I live in Port Moody, BC. It’s a city of 34,000 people and is part of the Greater Vancouver Area.

A few minutes ago, across the street from our condo, three bears spotted eating garbage at the Port Moody Fire Hall. See…I live in bear country.

But then again, he never grew up with snow, living in southern Mexico. Snow is still a novelty to him. Me, on the … More Prairie Snow Memories
I had good intentions. But it all went terribly wrong. After Armando gave me my amazing birthday surprise on Monday, I wanted to do a thoughtful gesture in return and what better way to do that than to make him a 5-course Valentine’s Day Dinner the next day. He was travelling with work and would … More Valentine’s Day Disaster

Do you remember as a little girl, laughing and dreaming with your friends about what your name would sound like if you married your friend Bobby? Or what about marrying that cute boy in Math class? As girls we would giggle and cringe at some names we hope we didn’t end up with and practise … More Name Change Confusion
This weekend is Thanksgiving. Family. Turkey. The good china. Why does the good china only come out during special occasions?
