I’ve mentioned Canmore before. We love it. The scenery. We love it.
Everyday we walk downtown, along the wooden boardwalk, along a sleepy creek. Did I mention that we love it?
I can’t help, but stop to photograph flowers in the meadow.
It’s bright and sunny.
The kids interrupt, “can we play in the creek”.
“Sure, but don’t get your clothes wet”, I say.

Sam is having a sleepover. The activity of the night is highly addictive computer game. When his buddy arrived, they went straight to the laptops.
That was 3 hours ago, buddy still has his backpack on.
Under my supervision backyard activities include: swinging, sliding, a little tree climbing, trampoline jumping, the odd home-made zip line (that never work) and impromptu boxing matches (Lizzy please quit hitting your brother). When Mr. MK is in charge, however, it really gets … all lumberjack like, and destructive. Don’t be Read more…
Sam and Lizzy participated in the Jasper Junior Olympics this weekend (downhill ski event). Their team won gold in the dual slalom event! Woot. Georgia and I stayed home, for a whole host of reasons: money, logistics, and most of all GEORGIA (ack). As usual, I waited to take my Read more…
Photography 5/365 I most likely won’t make you look at all 365 of these Photography 365 images. It’s just that while I am wallowing in the house, really getting a feel for my new recluse status, I haven’t got much else. Sam’s not big on the photography thing, just about Read more…
Sam and Lizzy are in downhill racing this year. Sunday was their first race. Here comes Sam. My first thought when I realized it was him was, ‘for the love of God, do your coat up!’ Then I snapped out of it and started taking photos. As you can see, Read more…
Thanks for all the emails making sure that I am alive and well! With my memory the way it is, I’m pretty sure I would have forgotten I have a blog if you all hadn’t reminded me. We had a great holiday filled with grandmas, grandpas, great-grandmas, uncles, aunts, great-aunts, Read more…
Every year I buy the gingerbread house kits from the supermarket. They’re easy and tons of fun (when you’re not yelling at the kids to stop eating all the candies). This year all our ‘gingerbread crafting fun’ took place under the super-happy SNL Gumby Christmas slogan, that I unhappily drew Read more…
Recently overheard in a California hotel suite very early in the morning. A wee girl is jumping up and down on her sleeping brother. Sam: Geooooorgiaaaa … get off meeeee. Georgia: Come on Sam, you know you love me. Jump, jump, jump. Georgia: You love to play with me. Jump, Read more…
Winner is: Jennifer C —> email me @ kim (@) mommyknows (dot) com. We’re all in a panic. Well everybody but Sam that is. He’s as cool as a cucumber. Relaxed, laid back even, and getting nothing done in a hurry! ‘Nothing’ being the operative word. We’re off on a Read more…
