On the weekend, we took Liam to the College Royal, a traditional open-house-style event where the University of Guelph opens it’s doors to the public and features tours of “Old MacDonald’s Farm.” Liam was very interested in all of the animals he saw, from pigs, to ducks, to sheep. There were even llama’s and alpacas. [...]
I have been hearing a lot from friends and family who regularily read my blog that I have not been writing as often as they’d like! It is true that lately, I have been rather pre-occupied. I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you why… Stuart, Liam and I are thrilled to announce that [...]
As we set off for a walk the other day, I heard a loud and familiar sound coming from above our heads. I looked up to see two Canada Geese perched high up on our rooftop, honking loudly to alert us to their presence. The pair sat there for quite some time. Perhaps they were [...]
Finally, yesterday we had some beautiful spring-like weather. I am still eagerly awaiting a “Robin-sighting” but if it wasn’t spring yesterday, you could have fooled me! We got outside with Liam for a nice long walk, and when we got home, he enjoyed some playtime out in our backyard. Because he wasn’t really walking last [...]
Backing onto Conservation Land, it is not uncommon to see Deer, Opossums, Rabbits, Groundhogs, and varying species of songbirds from the upstairs windows of our house. Being an animal lover, I find this feature of our property just great! One day last fall, as my husband and I went for a walk along the parks [...]
Children are scared of all sorts of things. I remember thinking there were mummies in my bedroom closet at the age of 10, and my Mom coming in to rid my room of these intruders, dressed as an Archaeologist, and singing something about “Mummy-Busters.” Perhaps monster spray also would have worked in that particular instance? [...]
A favorite place of ours has always been the University of Guelph’s Arboretum. In fact, we like it so much, that we were married there, and we visit often year-round! While I will admit that I prefer it in the warm sunny months of May through September, with the Lilacs in full bloom or the [...]
As part of my regular afternoon routine, in between diaper changes, playtime and trying to figure out what on earth to make for dinner, I watched Oprah yesterday. I was so shocked by what I saw on this particular show, that I am still troubled by it. The show was about the aftermath of Hurricane [...]
I often dream of returning to Nova Scotia, where Stuart and I spent a week on our honeymoon in 2002. It is one of the most beautiful places in the world, so abundant with history, charming, friendly people and of course, the ocean is spectacular. We began our journey in Halifax. The ferry trip between [...]
Illness sure has taken it’s toll on the Robertson household this week! First, our Son Liam was sick on Thursday and Friday. Two days later it was my turn, and I still find myself feeling somewhat unwell while I recover and avoid certain foods. I know Butter Chicken and other curries will not be on [...]
