Here we go!

So a month ago I was contacted by My Memory Suite , a digital scrapbooking software company. They asked me if I would be interested in checking out their product and then doing a review for them on my blog. So here I am and I gotta tell you I love what they've got! First of all I'm not a scrapbooker (at least not a good one). I love the look of scrapbooking and I wish I was better at it but I struggle greatly on the 2 dimensional plain. 3D I can do, but I struggle with 2D. Anyways, this program is great for me. There are two great aspects of it that work well for me. First of all they have pages that are already made, put together and ready to go you just drop your pictures into the frames and voila! your done. The second aspect that I really like is that if you are wanting to build your own page you can put stuff on the page and take stuff off without any hassle. If your working with glue and papers things can get messy and expensive. Here it's just click and drag and you...

Discussions of the future

My oldest had the opportunity to attend a University and College tour in Lethbridge for the past 3 days. With her return home this evening we had the lovely opportunity to discuss school options and life after high school. How did I get here?? I can't believe that I'm having this kind of a discussion with my 15 year old. What a wonderful evening. We talked about trying to decide what kind of courses you want to take and trying to find a school that matches what you are wanting to learn and study. I feels like it was only yesterday that I was trying to make these same decisions. What do I want to learn and where do I want to go? As the queen of my domain I have been moving forward in life raising kids and doing the day to day things that have to be done. All of a sudden time has caught up to me and we are discussing schools, post secondary education, life at college/university. We talked about people that we can ask questions about different career choices. We talked...

Summer Learning

Each season brings its list of things that need to be accomplished! We are in full swing summer time, which means I am spending way more time outside, away from the computer. This is a good and bad thing. I love being outside. I love to go out early in the morning when the sun has barely crested the mountain and a variety of birds are chattering in the trees. It is so peaceful and renewing. Aurora often tells me that I don't do enough for me. That I don't take time to renew my soul and spirit but being in the garden and rising with the sun and the birds is renewing even if she sees it as work. My parents taught me about hard work and I love teaching my children. I think it is a great opportunity to show my children the 'fruits' of their hard work when they get to eat all of the really yummy food from the garden. There are so many lessons to be learned while being in the dirt. Summer time allows us the opportunity to discover new things, get dirty and then clean agai...
