Off to Alberta to meet my nephew and help celebrate his First Easter! My first time flying with @porterairlines.bsky.social has been a wonderful experience! My cats weren’t too happy to see my suitcase last night, though. 🙀😾

Today my gr 1s will listen to a story about eggs, colour and cut out different animals that hatch from eggs and then pick some chocolates to put in a fabric egg I made for them with their animals to take home. #EggsForAll #SpringHasSprung #HappyLongWeekend

Thanks! Not fast, and I do a physio walk for 10 laps to retrain my foot how to walk properly after an old injury, but yes! I was at 40 laps, but it wasn’t feeling like work, so I increased to 4 x 12 instead of 4 x 10 and I’m tired at the end now. 😜

Last year, I learned to swim for my 50th birthday. I find that if I don’t swim my 50 laps every 4 or so days, chronic pain returns. I can now put my face in the water, but still have to talk myself through the utter panic response I have when under water. 💦 #WorthIt #JustKeepSwimming

A two-panel infographic compares strategic voting with proportional representation. The left panel, titled "Strategic Voting," has a winding, confusing path of yellow boxes with the following steps: “I like this party,” “What if they can’t win?” “Should I vote for another party?” and “Don’t get the result I wanted anyway.” The right panel, titled "Proportional Representation," shows a simple vertical path: “I like this party,” “Vote for this party,” and “Get the representation I voted for.” Below, bold text reads: “Strategic voting is a guessing game. PR makes every vote count – no second guessing needed.” A yellow box in the bottom right corner says: “Learn more at fairvote.ca.”

Democracy shouldn't be a guessing game.

Vote for who you believe in—and get the representation you deserve.

Demand proportional representation!

Sat 13 September 2025 will be YARD SALE DAY in Woodfield. So if you'd like to have a yard sale in Woodfield that'd be the best day for it. Mark your calendars to go hunting for pre-owned treasures, vintage weird things & thrifty deals. Or just use it as an excuse to hang out with your neighbours.

Be sure to read packaging well if you’re trying to avoid buying anything from the USA. Sign said “Product of Mexico”, some packages said the same, but others read, “Product of USA”. Sneaky!

Such a good reminder today! I am often amazed at how the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation shares messages that fit so perfectly! 🩷

Jack the Jaguar (our school mascot) goes home with one of my gr 1 Ss each Friday as part of our language program. A trend was born after the 1st S’s Grandma knit him a scarf. He now has a bracelet, an anklet and today he returned with a 🇨🇦 pin. ❤️

I’m out of town at a conference on February 27, so early polls were the only option if I wanted to exercise my right to vote.

I went to vote in the advance polls today. I was in and out in under 5 minutes. Such a small investment of time that could have a 4 year impact! Be sure to check out www.votewell.ca if you’re interested in voting strategically. #Election2025 #ProvincialElection #Democracy

Yes! They always have such beautiful artwork. If you ever get the chance to go to @civixcanada.bsky.social ‘s #DemocracyBootcamp, I’d highly recommend it. I still reflect on what we learned and I attended years ago!

Thank you @civixcanada.bsky.social for supporting teachers with incredible resources to teach about democracy and the voting process. We are getting ready to cast our votes in #StudentVote2025

Happy Heart Day! I upcycled some fabric masks into wee hearts for my grade 1 students. I’m trying to move towards 0 waste and be intentional with my purchases, this seemed like a good way to achieve and model it. Didn’t anticipate the sensory exploration they did by spinning them on their fingers. 😜

Nitôtem is easing her way back into the work week. #NitôtemSleeps

A little ASMR of a happy kitty

Weekends are for breakfasts with Phoenix. She waits patiently for my cereal milk, needing occasional reminders it’s not her turn yet, but purring the entire time. #HappinessIs #SimpleThings

What a week! Look after yourselves and take it easy like Nitôtem, she’s easing her way into the weekend. ❤️😴

My thoughts exactly.

Finally able to watch Canada play at the #WorldJuniors after having been in the US for the last 10 days. What’s happening?!?

Well, photos work better to show how much snow we’ve received this week. They’re calling for rain on Monday…

My 50th donation the year I turned 50! I’m so thankful people still come out to donate in honour of #JuliePiché. Seeing everyone is a clear show of the good in the world. #CanadianBloodServices #ItsInYouToGive #BeADonor

Yes, please!
