I’m a Hockey Sister alumni. Growing up during the cold Manitoba winters, I would make a beeline to the car from our house nearly every weekend to avoid the cold, brisk air that would make my nose an instant Ruldolph red, as we headed to my brother’s hockey game. In my dad’s shiny Malibu car … More Hockey Sister
I need to teach my family how to hug. We are a Canadian family with an Eastern European background. We hug when necessary…we hug “hello” and “good-bye” when we don’t see the person often, and we hug….hmmm???…well, it’s not an everyday occasion. So, I think my family might be a bit overwhelmed come December, when … More To Hug, or Not to Hug, That is the Question.
Oh dear, please tell me how I am going to tell Armando that I just depreciated the value of our new condo today with one stupid action? It centers around ironing. I hate ironing actually. I don’t iron. The ironing board that I contributed to our collective household items sits in the closet, practically new. … More Ironing 101
“It’s the maid’s day off. What are we going to do?!” Can’t say that I ever heard that ring through my house, growing up in Canada. Armando, on the other hand, grew up in Mexico where having a maid was a common thing among many Mexicans. Hmmmm, maybe that’s why Armando has a problem with … More The Maid’s Day Off

But Where?
Armando’s a breakfast guy. He usually has omelette-style eggs with ham, veggies and lots of cheese or his Mexican breakfast of quesadillas with cheese, ham and hot sauce. I got lucky because Armando has assumed the role of Breakfast Cook, really, by default as I don’t do breakfast. I will usually have my protein bars … More Where’s the Bacon?
Faces on a Plane….no, it’s not a Samuel L. Jackson sequel to Snakes on a Plane. The plane I’m talking about is none other than a KLM Royal Dutch Airline’s Boeing 777-200. And the faces are none other than moi and mi Armando! Can you believe it?! Our faces on the outside of a KLM … More Faces on a Plane – How our Photo Ended Up on a KLM Plane
If you didn’t get our Save the Date yet, it’s not my fault. What is a Save the Date you ask? I didn’t know either, until I got engaged and realized that I have no idea what I’m suppose to do to plan a wedding. Me: Can we just elope? Armando: What’s elope? (Just so … More Save the Dates or Elope?
So in the last 12 months, I left my stable government job, moved to BC with my boyfriend, started my own business, had my first almost snow-free winter (which I loved!), got engaged, became a first-time home buyer with my fiancé and moved again, closed my business, had a mid-life crisis, saw a career advisor … More Whirlwind Year in a Nutshell
