When my son came home from school today, he arrived with very sad news. Miss Cheryl, the volunteer teacher assistant had died over the weekend.
It was a double shock, because Miss Cheryl was also our neighbour. Adam and Caity have grown up with her coming to watch them play on warm days. They have helped […]
Back in February Amber Scott (Capessa Managing Editor) contacted me via my blog and invited me to join Capessa.com. I checked out the site and joined up. I haven’t really had a lot of time to interact on the web site as much as I would like but from what I have read on the […]
Following up the post about the upcoming War Bride Exhibit, my own Mom decided to share with us, the story of how HER mom and dad met.
Thanks Mom.
I am the daughter of a WWII ‘War Bride’. My Scottish mother met my father, a Canadian soldier, at “The Palais De Danse” in Edinburgh during one […]
If you have any BPA bottles lying around you might want to take them to London Drugs. I had heard through another blog (sent to me by my husband) that London drugs was taking back any BPA bottle brands that they sold and giving store credit for them without receipts.

I am very excited about meeting all you who can attend our little get together on Saturday.

Not to mention we had a […]

I had brought your attention to the poor woman who lost her full term child at Burnaby General. Her name is Dawn. I am still hoping to connect with her.
I had contacted the MLA who is helping her and asked him […]
This just hit me like a punch in the head.
More bad news and heartbreak from Burnaby General.
She had been leaking amniotic fluid and called her clinic repeatedly for advice. She was told not to worry.

When I read […]
