Teaching my kids reminds me how incredible teachers are.
We’ve dropped the provincially released strike curriculum and are learning to sew instead—so fair warning: handmade gifts for everyone this Christmas! #yyc

I get that. I am very sensitive to texture so I’m often picky about fabrics. Bamboo is one that doesn’t usually hurt my brain when I’m stressed.

They have an amazing Boxing Day sale that I always spend too much money on!

As I've aged, I'm eternally grateful that I've gotten fatter instead of more politically conservative.

It’s true, this goat held on for 25 km. I was glad I had one in my pannier bag for it!

A blue bicycle with a stuffed animal, a white mountain goat wearing a green plaid hoodie, attached to the handlebars. A child wearing a white sweatshirt with flower patches, dark sweatpants, pink gloves, and a helmet stands next to the bike. Behind them is a concrete barrier and a forest of trees with yellow autumn leaves.

Well that is my thought.. I could sneak in with my regular bike but the UA would go into traffic.

Also at the front of the photo I thought that was a drainage path at first, not a bike path.

I’m so confused- do we sneak in between those posts or are we being pushed into traffic?

Google Maps needs a “least aggressive” route option. I’m not afraid of driving or speed, but there are certain intersections I avoid because people aggressive assholes.

Probably more than I should admit, I’ve often thought I would be absolutely awful at painting lines on the road.

I found that as soon as friends started thinking about children they started looking at homes in the suburbs. When I was pregnant with my twins the amount of people who asked when we were moving got quite annoying. People couldn’t understand that we were planning on staying in our inner city condo.

Are they basing the new vaccine on waves in other parts of the world like they do with the flu vaccine? I wonder if they need to adjust that to a Covid schedule?

I feel like I hate this idea.

“I always got the flu vaccine, for like years and years I got poked and never once got the flu so why would I continue to get the flu vaccine? I don’t think I’m at risk”

An actual conversation i overheard today.

I really hope they change the children under 12 online booking but I know they won’t make it easy on us. My household is stage 2 so we are patiently waiting to be able to book appointments.

We made it out for one last 2025 BVP ride. The 7s (they are 7 now!!) did spectacular as always and used their birthday money to purchase Johnston Canyon goats. 6 hours, 50 km, a few tears, lots of smiles, and now an exhausted family.

Two children wearing helmets ride their bikes side by side on a quiet paved road surrounded by tall trees with autumn foliage under a cloudy sky.

We have a biking playlist. It’s a mix of songs about bikes, sunshine, space and flying and some songs that my kids like to sing to. I figure we aren’t around people long enough to bother them and bike dancing has become a favourite thing on our way to and from school

If you need a ladder to get in, maybe it’s too tall to be sharing the road with kids

A large lifted pickup truck is parked on a residential street. Two young children wearing helmets stand directly in front of the truck, but their small size makes it clear how easily they could be hidden from the driver’s view.
