Single ParentHood

For the past week, I have been on my own with the children. My husband has been away on a business trip, and as such, I have had to pick up where he has left off (so to speak).

So in the evenings, when I am tired and need some time to myself, he is usually there to take them.

Or switch off with me for their lessons, etc. However, this week I've had a dose of what it's like to be a single parent, and I have to admit - I didn't like it one bit....

Why? Because it was a great way to start off the new year - by simply doing it, instead of talking about it..........

We have wasted too much time debating this issue, when it really comes down to practising what we preach during this time.....

Well it's officially Christmas in White Rock. Today we received a considerable amount of snow, that makes it feel a heck of a lot more like Christmas.

Although I have lived here for almost for twenty years, I still remember what it was like to live on the Prairies - and for it to snow for six months of the year......

Cautious Connections

Today I am very happy.

As a writer, its nice every once in awhile to spread your wings and try something new.

And that's exactly what I did this month after spending the last four years as a columnist. I made the leap to feature writer for the Surrey Now newspaper....
