Walking the Walk
We did it! The Your Life with RA team raised over $2,300 for our 5K in the Walk to Fight Arthritis, exceeding our goal by $700. Not bad for our first time out! We all got up at the crack of dawn Sunday and headed to the Evergreen Brick Works. It’s a beautiful green space in the middle of…
The Tinks, Spring Party and… Frogs?
It’s finally warm enough to send the kids out to the playground, so that means it’s time for the annual Spring party! Seems like a good enough reason to me… It’d been a while since we had a party, so an extra effort needed to be made. That meant party hats. Or rather, party animal…
A Very Tink Christmas
We were very lucky that our area wasn’t affected by the icestorm for more than a day or two and didn’t lose power, so we got to have Christmas right on schedule. Which naturally is Christmas Eve. As usual, we all promised to not go haywire on the presents. As usual, we did We ate…
Happy 8th Birthday, Tinks!
It started like this 8 years ago A couple of weeks ago, we gathered the clan together to celebrate the Tinks’ 8th birthday a little early. The stars of the day hung out with friends and family. I caught Liam in a rare quiet moment while Morgan explained something to someone. As a true Andersen…
A Visit from Good Friends
August got off to an excellent start with a visit from my sister-friend AB and her family. AB and I have known each other since Grade 1, so they arrived just in time for she and I to celebrate our 44th anniversary. We have big plans for six years from now… We spent a wonderful…
40 & Fun
Last weekend, we celebrated my sister’s 40th birthday. We deliberately postponed the grand party from month, thinking that April 20 would for sure have nice weather so we could send the kids out to the playground. It was freezing. With snow. We stayed inside and a grand time was had by all. Naturally, the Birthday…
Easter Tinks
Things went a little nutty last week and the blog suffered. Again. Sorry, blog. Better late than never? Last weekend, the Tinks came to visit and we all went out for lunch to celebrate the long weekend and two birthday goddesses: my mother and my sister. First, as is traditional, The Boy was covered in…
Happy 40th, Janne!
Today, my little sister turns 40 years old. It seems impossible. I mean, she looked like this just the other day My mother has a theory. For as long as I can remember, she’s told us that women come into their own at 40.That this is the age where you stop being so worried about…
Family Day Tinks
In between this past weekend’s madness of getting The Book ready to launch, we had a wonderful respite in the form of a Tink visit. There’s nothing like two 7-year-olds to blow stress and lists out of your mind and just focus on the present. We went for lunch at a local pub.While waiting for…
A Tink Christmas
Hi there! I’m not quite sure where the past week went, but I think it had something to do with rest and relaxation. So no thoughtful; New Year’s post this year. Instead, I’ll share the annual love extravaganza that is Christmas amongst the Andersens. Which in a way will serve as its own thoughtful New…
The Tinks are 7!
I have no idea how this happened, but somehow, my wee babies – OK, my sister’s wee babies – are now 7 years old. A couple of weeks ago, we all got together to celebrate. We started at my mother’s and as usual, the minute David sat down, he had a pile of Tinks on…
