Living Creatively, Living the Dream
Ever have one of those weeks where you’re not really sure where time went or what exactly you did? THIS WEEK AT CURTAINS ARE OPEN: Things started with the return of the 2015 KIA Sedona I’d been booting around in Continue reading Sunday Wrap-up #3…
I thought I’d start a weekly wrap-up to fill you in on how my week goes. And…as I’m making changes to my site, I may as well start with today. I had a chat with Julie Nowell at Three Chickens Continue reading Sunday Wrap-up #1…
One of the things I enjoyed about this blog was my monthly “Queen’s Update.” Seeing the posts all laid out before me and what’s transpired in the month since I wrote them. Well, life got busy and while I’m told Continue reading Queen’s 23rd Update…
I’m a little behind on my Queen’s Updates! Prior to this, I tried to write one per month as a little “wrap up” and a reminder to folks to read a post they may have missed. Well…I’ve not written Continue reading Queen’s 22nd Update…
It baffles me how time flies and lucky for me, I have a blog where I can look back at what I’ve been up to. Filling in all the blanks with the things I don’t write… a busy, happy, fun-filled Continue reading Queen’s 21st Update…
I haven’t written a “Queen’s Update” in so long it’s not even funny! So, here’s a re-cap on the last few months of blogging with updates on the various posts. I still find it baffling that I’m the mom of Continue reading Queen’s 20th Update…
The last time I wrote a Queen’s Update was December 2nd! Fact is… time is flying at a faster rate of speed than ever before. School… kids… school… school… there just aren’t enough hours in the day! Despite the issue Continue reading Queen’s 19th Update…
I’m an entire month behind on a Queen’s Update! To be totally honest, I haven’t been too uptight about it as after working and reworking my to-do list and calendar, making sure I get the kids to their activities and Continue reading Queen’s 18th update…
Where the heck did September go? It seems only yesterday we were enjoying Summer adventures and now, suddenly, it’s October! I’ve been so crazy busy that September didn’t have me writing too many posts… but regardless… here’s the 17th Queen’s Continue reading Queen’s 17th update…
The summer is abruptly coming to an end. I’ve school supplies, book bags and tags from newly purchased hockey gear strewn all over my kitchen table. The Tall Blond has carted the rubber maid containers from the basement and has begun Continue reading Queen’s 16th update…
I can’t believe we’re two weeks into summer vacation already. Bones is heading to summer camp in a few hours and by the time she’s back, summer will be half over! The school year ended with much excitement. I managed to Continue reading Queen’s XVth update…
While we wait for summer to arrive, I’ve been pounding out the posts! Some months I’m busier than others but this month the rain has me stranded… so why not tell a few stories! I introduced you to my friends Nic and Kara and their wonderful Continue reading Queen’s 7×2 update…
My birthday is Tuesday so last night brought a group of people out to begin the week long celebrations! What? Can’t a girl celebrate for an entire week? We started at the Lower Deck enjoying another wonderful evening of Paul Lamb Continue reading They herd…
I can’t count! Last month I wrote the “Queens 13th update” but I somehow skipped the number twelve! I’ve never been great with math… evident from a lovely meal at Gib’s where her seven year old was pounding times tables at me Continue reading Queen’s 12th update…
It was either a sentimental month or my writing is evolving. Regardless, the posts this month were hardly comedic and on more than one occasion I had folks telling me they were running for the box of tissues. The post about going to StFX so my Continue reading Queen’s 13th update…
It’s my eleventh update which means one thing and one thing only… next month will be the one year anniversary of writing this blog!!! We enjoyed the excitement of the Canada Games this month. I had full intention of seeing gymnastics, swimming and Continue reading Queen’s eleventh update…
As I write the tenth Queen’s Update it occurs to me it’s almost a year that I’ve been writing this blog! What started as a way for me to get some thoughts on paper… has turned into quite an experience. It’s been Continue reading Queen’s Xth Update…
Just before I do my monthly “Queen’s Update” I copy and paste the previous months’ posts into a document and back the whole thing up. The document is currently 437 pages… leading me to believe I’m making a run for the 1463 pages of “War Continue reading Queen’s 9th Update…
With the season upon us I’m having a difficult time getting things done let alone keeping up on my blog! (Serious apologies for those who read every day but consider it my way of giving you extra time to shop!) We’ve two Continue reading Queen’s 8th update…
It’s been raining non-stop for three days and I’m starting to feel a little haggard. On a good note… this blog continues to gain momentum and I’m making fans on an international level. (Not just because Little-One is in Dubai, my cousin Tina is in Singapore, Continue reading Queen’s VII’th Update…
