It’s been nuts this week in Mommyknowsville. Along with our usual, super busy schedule, I was lucky enough fly to Chicago to visit the Kraft Kitchens. I’ve got a great post in the works all about the trip. It was fabulous.

Mr. MK and I passed each other briefly in the hallway Friday morning. I’d just arrived home from the Kraft tour and he was headed out on a rock climbing holiday. Well, it was more than a passing (but barely), he had just enough time to rustle through my suitcase and steal my ‘Back to Nature’ Nuts!

*Edit: this is not Mr. MK. It’s my good friend Scott.

I call this one: Kraft took Mommyknows to Chicago and gave her some ‘Back to Nature’ nuts. Mommyknows took the Kraft nuts to the Canadian Rockies and took them back to nature.

See you soon!

I’m home from Alaska (a few weeks now). It’s been super busy. School’s finally out … and the Mommyknows mobile is on tour. We’re currently enjoying the Canadian Rockies –> kayaks, rock climbing, canoes, hiking and Guitar Hero on Tour!

This is my 15 year old nephew getting his turn on the Guitar Hero for Nintendo DS.

We have several Nintendo DS’s in our house, so the folks at Nintendo were kind enough to send us TWO Guitar Hero for Nintendo DS. They are wireless, so Sam and Lizzy were able to jam together ALL the way to the mountains. Thank you GOD for headphones. They are very cool little hand-held guitar attachments that you attach to your DS.

Have car trips changed or what? Gone are the days of family sing alongs and fighting over sleeping in the rear window. Now were strapped down for safety and playing wireless guitars games. VERY COOL.

I will be back next week with DAILY posts, I’ll fill you in on my trip to AK. Sam, Georgia and Hayley’s June birthdays. Summer in Mommyknowsville … it’s glorious!

We’ve been to the mountains and back. I am a bit sad … spring break is over. I prefer it when the kids are at home and the days are our own.

The good news is, oodles of fresh air and sunshine were had by all.

Big Alberta blue skies, almost made up for the chilly temperatures (5c/40f). It should be warmer by now!

Georgia

Lizzy

Big blue eyes and smiles made up for the cold.

Except in Sam’s case, he couldn’t get enough of his new Power Rangers helmet.

How was your weekend?

Tired, sore, wind and sun burnt. That’s just the tip of the ice berg (pun intended).

I am shuffling around barely able to walk! I bought new boots this a.m., they are making me use muscles I didn’t know I had. I am starting to seize up — REALLY!

I wish I could put you all on the top of the mountain, so you could see this in person. It sounds hoaky, but it makes you feel just a little closer to God. It’s breath-taking! My Fuji-pix just doesn’t do it justice.

Lizzy and our ‘nanny’ Mel on the top of Goat’s Eye.

Wish you were here.

We arrived safe and sound!

We took the long, long (scenic) route, as our English friends are along.

The views were great, even through my cracked windshield.

Check out the big horn sheep, just hanging around in the middler of the road. It’s always fun when you come zooming around the corner and these guys are waiting for you!

There is a great contest starting later this week. It’s for one of my favorite ‘Rocky Mountain’ products, check back again.
