in Everyday on

Do you believe in the bucket list?  Creating a dream list of sorts, a map or list of goals you wish to accomplish before you “kick the bucket”?  Morbid or lofty, the bucket list is a popular idea!  Recently I stumbled across a bucket list challenge.  It lists some of the most common bucket list ideas, asks you to copy… View Post

in Everyday on

This year Mother Nature treated us to a mild winter.  We were blessed with lots of sunshine and sprinkled with but a few snow storms to remind us that we are indeed still in Canada.  So now that spring has rolled around, I think Mother Nature has decided to remind us that she’s still large and in charge.  My back… View Post
