I have been a busy girl this weekend doing work, work, work around the house.

Fabulous Fintry
Oh my! It is HOT out today. Our place is like a greenhouse and I am sweltering. Thank goodness for basements!We are just returning from a camping trip up in the Okanagan. It was a fabulous trip with the kids. Lots of fun swimming in the lake, relaxing by the campfire (roasting marshmallows of course!), and just getting some nice family time in. I am generally not much of a camper but a few days I can handle!Well, you can't have a great trip without learning some great life lessons. Here are ... Read More about Fabulous Fintry
