Writing my way through the joys and challenges of motherhood
My sister-in-law had her wedding at the Four Points by Sheraton Kingston. I thought it would be fun for us to spend the night in the hotel (even though we live in Kingston.) That way we could stay at the wedding until the kids are literally asleep on their feet. *We were provided a junior […]
Where do the summers go? I hope you found some fun things to do in my Summer in Kingston post. I know we do quite a few of the events around town every year! Now it’s time for me to highlight some of the events that happen each fall in Kingston. Fun Things to Do […]
I enjoy the Tragically Hip. I am saddened by the news of Gord Downie’s cancer, just like the rest of the country. Of course the Man Machine Poem tour would end with the Tragically Hip in Kingston, but I am so over all the hoopla that is going on around their last tour stop here […]
*The Haunted Walk of Kingston allowed Emma and I to join a tour for free so I could create this review. All opinions are those of myself and/or my daughter.* This summer has been hot. Once the sun goes down the temperatures are more bearable. What better way to spend a darkening evening than wandering […]
Next week we are going to a cottage for the week. I’m very much looking forward to it. The forecast (so far) looks great, and cottaging is old hat now – this is our 4th year going to a cottage, and the girls just get older and better every year. Vacationing with kids seems to […]
*The girls and I were given tickets for a showing of My Silly Yum (as part of the Kick and Push Festival) in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own and/or those of my daughters.* Last year my parents, my husband, my eldest daughter Emma and I attended a showing of Shipwrecked as […]
This year, like every year, Kingston School of Dance put on a beautiful performance. The story this year was Paris in the 1920s. Coco Chanel even makes an appearance! From the program: Act 1: La Ballet Jolié Meet Jolié, a country girl from the village of Bourges who seeks a dance contract at a famous […]
Edit: here’s my gallery of photos I took while I was hanging out with Emma watching Buskers this year! Every summer since I was a kid I’ve looked to forward to the Buskers Rendezvous! My grandparents used to take me (and my sister) when we were “tweens”. When I got older and started going to Queen’s University I […]
This past weekend I had my first foray into the world of acting. I called it an experience because I didn’t get paid. But that didn’t take away from the fun and learning I had at my first acting experience. As I’ve said before, Patrick and I have been browsing Facebook groups for local acting […]
July 1st is coming up fast! School is almost done and a holiday is well deserved. This year, as every year, there are celebrations around town. Downtown Kingston puts on a parade, then a civic ceremony, music at Confederation park, and ends the night with fireworks! Their event is always well attended and begins right […]
