The Buzz Queen

It’s the Victoria Day long weekend here in Canada, and as we have yet to use our new travel trailer, we’re packing up and heading out to the lake for four days of camping!
The Mountie has actually already headed out with the girls, and I will be joining them with Mattie soon. I had […]

I’m actually planning on doing a full review of the Riu as a lot of friends have asked me what we thought of it, would we go back etc. For now, here are a few pictures of the resort.
The view from our balcony:

The activity pool was massive and a lot of fun:

The beach was […]

The ceremony was at 11am, which is 9am my time. Which meant I had to get up around 8, which is 6am my time. (I am not a morning person, so need to consume the required amount of caffeine before I can get moving.) Of course I made up for that early morning […]

Jamaica was lovely, as was the wedding. The poor groom wore his red serge so was one bead of sweat away from heat stroke, I’m sure!
We thought Mexico in December was hot, but it has nothing on Jamaica in May! Holy hannah was it HOT! The sun was unforgiving - I slathered […]

We arrive in Jamaica on the 5th of May, hopefully to this (as the weather network is predicting):
31′C - variable clouds (about 88′F)
Here is the weather my two babydolls and Mattie will be enjoying at home that same day:
11′C - light rain (about 52′F)
The poor t’ings! I hope dey remember ta wear […]

The beginning of 2008 saw us returning from our trip to Cozumel. In May we will be heading to Jamaica for our friends wedding. But the fun doesn’t end there, because September will see me on a plane heading to Rhode Island! (I haven’t had any Kentucky Derby Party Invitations, so it’s off […]

Naw, just kidding.
It was Mikayla’s birthday the other day, so I took her, her sister and her BFF to the Avril Lavigne concert in Victoria.
Those three girls had such a good time! It was so cool to watch them having so much fun - screaming, singing and dancing to Avril.
My only complaint was that […]

I’m just now getting through all the mail in my inbox, and came across these shots from a recent hockey tournament while I was away. Kristanna requested them from the parent who was doing the photography, so I don’t have any of Mikayla just yet.

And here she is receiving the MVP award for the […]

Happy New Year everyone! Or should I say ‘Feliz Año Nuevo’!
I’m not sure where to even start - we had an amazing time in Cozumel - it was just what I wanted. A nice, quiet (not too touristy) location, which was still full of the ‘real’ Mexico and Mexican culture.
We stayed at the […]

My head’s been in camping mode lately, although our weather doesn’t look like it’ll be cooperating anytime soon! (rain, rain go away!)
I always try to be organized when it comes to what we’re going to eat out at the lake. Of course this is because I want to make my life easier ensure my […]
