Fifteen Summer Travel Essentials

by Katja Wulfers

What to pack when travelling is determined by where you’re going and what your plans are once you’ve safely arrived at the destination. The strappy heels you’ll wear to a bistro won’t work for a hike on the mountains around Pemberton, British Columbia, and there’s no call for a winter sleeping bag if you’re staying at …

Dog Wearing Underwear – Nothing Funnier

by Candace Sampson

Last week, our 7 month old Bernedoodle suddenly became obsessed with his wiener. Not that he’s not always obsessed with it, but it was receiving an inordinate amount of affection if you know what I mean. To top it off, our other dog, was picking up the slack when Wookie’s tongue needed a rest. Now, …

Men Who Lack Female Supervision

by Candace Sampson

My Dad just sent this to me, and if I had all your emails I would have forwarded to all of you because it is just so damn funny……and true. I know that my husband, if left to his own devices, would definitely do a couple of these.

School Uniform Debate in Pleasantville

by Candace Sampson

I often tell my children I wish they had school uniforms. As you can imagine, my children recoil in horror when I say such things. They threaten to disown me and adopt a new mom. Promises, promises. “But Mom, then we’d all look the same”. Ah, excuse me kid, but have you looked at your …

20 is Enough

by Candace Sampson

Michelle Duggar has me feeling a little like an underachiever today. I mean for starters she just announced she’s expecting with child number 20. TWENTY!! I mean there’s a good chance in two or three generations half the population of the United States will be a descendent of the Duggar clan for Pete’s sake. Talk …

Reading to Your Dog

by Candace Sampson

My oldest daughter caught onto reading very young and has developed a deep love for it. My youngest was a little harder to engage. We started to encourage her to read to our dog after reading several studies that show that kids literacy improved after reading to their pets. It’s paying off. Her reading is …

Things I’m Irrationally Afraid Of

by Candace Sampson

1. A snake in my toilet. Seriously, sometimes I’ll just be sitting there and that’ll pop into my head and I have to look. I wonder if this is a recognized phobia? Related. I once had a squirrel in my toilet. Oddly enough I have no phobia of a squirrel coming up and biting me …

School Pictures Suck

by Candace Sampson

Today I am sitting at my desk, begrudgingly writing out cheques for my children’s annual crappy photo shoot, A.K.A., their school pictures. It pains me to pay for these because they are spectacularly bad, although not as spectacularly bad as last year where I refused to purchase them all together. I seriously don’t get it. …
