Max holding a butterfly @ the Ex in Edmonton, AB
A weekend full of insane fun & not enough sleep… Friday verrrry early we drove for five hours to get to an appointment in Edmonton. Then went directly to the Exhibition (a gigantic fair - full of rides, candy, a lovely butterfly room, and Gatorades […]
Crazy Frog Max
Is it just me or are there very, very cute similarities? Those cheeks… those smiles… that look that means a mischievous act is inevitable. Off on a Mom, Sam & Max road trip this weekend. We’re off to the Exhibition & that very cool “Walking With the Dinosaurs” show.

Weekends are not for blogging. They are for catching up on all the Tour De France action, taking children to street performers, and trying out new martini recipes. However I have a juicy surprise that I couldn’t keep to myself. A very special, very talented, and totally hip and groovy amazing author has agreed to […]
Being a high school teacher has its advantages when it comes to keeping up with the hip, groovy lingo. In fact, using the words HIP and GROOVY are quite UN-hip and NON-groovy and if it hadn’t been for one of my classes keeping a running list of Mrs. K-M Can Say and Mrs. K-M Can’t […]
In the Webster’s Dictionary (online edition) the word “Juicy” comes up with a definition of: rich in interest, succulent, colorful. Really, don’t you think those are great adjectives? (Hmmm… For people who don’t read the thesaurus for fun - like NORMAL people, maybe they’re not so great). And last year when […]
