It’s that in-between season for kiddo’s sports so there’s a lot more time for pick-up basketball and playing with friends at the park. In a rec gym, he is playing with two little kids, one dad and one kid his age. They are having a blast. Teenagers are cheering loudly when the kids make baskets.
We now own a car, but still live in the transit friendly neighbourhood. We still walk, bike or take the bus to many locations where driving or parking is not convenient or necessary. We try to model that to our kid as well.
That was a key requirement when we first moved to Halifax many years ago. Our first realtor really didn’t get it. A couple who could afford a home but didn’t own a car was a foreign concept to her. She didn’t use transit and had no clue. Our second realtor understood the assignment thankfully.
Some windy out there. No power. Green bin toppled over and now there are egg shells rolling around on my neighbours’ lawns. Good thing kiddo is at a soccer camp because he would not be impressed with no wifi or power plus nothing to do outside during March break.
It’s a good start to March break when you’ve listed a dozen pairs of footwear that haven’t been worn in years. Clearing out some kids shoes so check marketplace if you’re in my city!
I love it so much! The best part of watching women’s sports live has to be the effort they put into making it fun for kids! This event on March break, the mascot, on-field entertainment, just some of the ways they get it right imo.
Yes!
It’s so nice out! Kiddo is back to shooting hoops in the driveway and entertaining our toddler neighbour. I can hear them both giggling and it’s the cutest. The joys of sunshine past 6 pm and warmer temps!
I saw an American robin this morning in my urban neighbourhood. I know they can overwinter here but I am taking this sighting as a sign of spring’s imminent arrival.
So proud of kiddo! First, he auditioned for the school talent show, without telling us, even though he gets nervous performing in front of people. Then his basketball team has made it to the finals after starting the season with loss after loss. Gritty team win today!
Porcupines are so cute! What a treat.
It’s been nearly 4 years. We can’t ignore the compounding humanitarian impacts.
Least favourite appliance to replace and they just don’t last. Best of luck! Meanwhile, our microwave died after 20+ years of use this week and I just picked up a new one at CT the next day, installed in minutes.
My son has music lessons downtown Dartmouth on Sat so we have encountered this several years in a row. We always find some kind of street parking or paid lot. It’s not that bad.
The library staff have also been featured in some fun videos.
There’s always a fragrance 😂

Kiddo plays some kind of sport, either for fun, as part of an organized practice or a game most days of the week. For some, it would be too much, but I swear, the kid is unable to fall asleep if he is not physically tired from running around.
Definitely one of the uglier buildings on the waterfront. I’ve never been in there so I can’t even speak to the space indoors but it does seem like a great opportunity for redevelopment.
It was icy when I was out an hour ago but it’s probably better now
He was quickly confronted by 3 women including my wife who all came out of their houses to hear the commotion. He eventually retreated back to his house. What a jerk. But at least now we know what kind of person he is. And he knows we don’t put up with shit from homophobes.
Neighbour who recently moved here from another province just showed his whole ass. It was 8 am and his outside yelling homophobic slurs and ranting that a homeless person stole from him. He was told in no uncertain terms that this is not acceptable on our street.
New electronic drum kit seems to be a hit with the boy. With headphones in, it’s not super loud and the dog isn’t losing her mind over it.
✨Ahead of holiday gatherings, make sure you know exactly what to do if a loved one is choking and how to provide proper choking first aid.
Knowing what to do can save a life.

I was just saying this! My 10 yo can definitely play soccer or baseball with friends at the park without parental supervision and it’s a mere 5 min walk from our house, but crossing the busy 4 lane road is still iffy. One mom drive her kid even though he could walk and I walk my kid over there.
When your ADHD kid requests his mom give him a haircut at bedtime, using clippers bought during COVID times but have never been used, just say no.
Yes! My 10yo loves playing sports and watching sports. He does not need to see ads about gambling!
Pretty sure we lost our minds when we invited 4 boys over to decorate cookies and watch a movie. I forgot that they would find time to wrestle and cause mayhem.
Why is this me (IYKYK)
