The Calgary Zoo {The Ugly}

Alright, alright….a lot of work goes into making sure The Calgary Zoo is anything but ugly, and I would agree they do a great job. Really they do. But let me tell you about my visit there, what I found out, and why it didn’t surprise me. After our morning at The Calgary Zoo, we went to spend some time with my cousin and her kids. While I was telling her about our zoo experience, she mentioned that they are…

The Calgary Zoo {The Bad}

Okay, the truth is – all in all, I LOVE the Zoo. So the experience all around is great. Seeing animals we wouldn’t likely see otherwise is always a special treat, particularly when they indulge us and do more than just lay around. lol But I have to admit, there were a few {only a few} things that I noticed that sort of fall under *The Bad* cateogory {Read about The Good HERE}. Wonder what they are?…

The Calgary Zoo {The Good}

While on a recent trip to Calgary for some training Brent had, the kids and I spent one of the days at The Calgary Zoo. A favorite place of mine since I was a child, though I haven’t been since Brooklyn was about 9 months old. Every year I plan to take the kids, and every year goes by without making it happen. But now we’ve done it. And it was awesome. I admit, there is an element of me…

The Penguin Plunge {Calgary Zoo}

Well we did it – we got to see the Penguins. Thanks to a recent business/training trip in Calgary {for Brent}, me and the kids had a great time playing all day. The Zoo was a must on our list and it did not disappoint {except the sort of lame Canadian Wild section which not only has arguably the most boring animals but also the most amount of walking}. We waited in line about 15 minutes and were then ushered…

The Happiest Place On Earth {It Shows In Their Faces}

As 150 fellow bloggers are enjoying themselves at this year’s Disney Social Media Mom’s Celebration held at Walt Disney World in Florida, I thought it fitting to share a photo from our trip to DisneyLand two years ago. They say it’s the *Happiest Place On Earth* – well, it’s also the most magical. You might be a skeptic {shame on you lol} but you can’t fake the funk. It shows in their faces:  …

I Believe In Holidays {And Was Born For It}

I felt pretty lucky growing up – it’s not like we took an insane amount of holidays but we did get to enjoy a few great ones and some fun getaways. Perhaps that’s where my love for them started. My parents owned their own business, and as such it was not a typical 9-5 work day. My dad worked in the field {finishing carpenter} from 6am-6pm 6 days a week and then came home to the in-house office to finish…
