As I mentioned last week, we had the end of season party for Boy #3’s team this past Saturday. It was so nice to see everyone again and just a little bittersweet to say goodbye, at least for now. But the reason I bring up the party again is that the common question from everyone […]
Meal Plan Monday- April 29th
I keep waiting for a Meal Plan Monday where I can talk about a “quiet” week. Or at least a “normal” week. I really shouldn’t because the calendar says that we wont have one of those coming until sometime in July. And even that weekend is earmarked for the cottage, weather depending. Maybe it’s time […]
Reasons I Need Caffeine: Eighth Edition
You would think that my off season would be more relaxed. I mean, there have definitely been years where I settled in to the lack of hockey schedule and coasted through our off season. Of course, that always makes me feel a little off. But eventually I switch into the slower gear and enjoy the […]
Farewell to the Initiation Years
This is it, my friends. After five years, 3 players on 8 different teams, my Initiation years are over. Done. No more. This weekend we have our end of season team party for Boy #3’s third year Initiation team. By a stroke of fate and good luck, we have had the pleasure to spend two […]
Meal Plan Monday- Week of April 22nd
Hockey peeps, I’m going to be honest: I haven’t had time for the post-season fallout I usually experience. The House of Hockey jumped straight from hockey season into home improvement projects. We have two rental houses that we’re gearing up to sell which means that every weekend since hockey ended, we have been working on […]
Storing Hockey Gear for the Off Season
As mentioned a time or two, we’re in off season. For the first time in about six months, my vehicle is not storing hockey gear. There are no hockey practices on the schedule. My living room has been reclaimed from the hockey gear bags that have littered it since September. Which brings me to my […]
Meal Plan Monday- Week of April 8th
Welcome back to Meal Plan Monday, friends. I was going to skip it this week (for reasons I’ll explain momentarily) but 1) This series just got started and I don’t want to skip out the second week in, 2) I need to map out the meals this week more than ever and 3) May as […]
Meal Plan Monday- Week of April 1st
Another hockey season is in the books, folks. And what a season it was. I’m still processing things when it comes to hockey, but as I shift gears into “off season” mode, there’s some things that I implemented during the last few months that I want to keep doing. Meal Plan Monday came about in […]
Reasons I Need Caffeine: Seventh Edition
We are neck deep in the Februarys people. The weather this week has driven the point home. We’ve had freezing cold temperatures. Then there was a thaw that turned the entire city into puddles. This was followed up with a flash freeze that turned the puddles into skating rinks, including the sidewalks. It’s a minor […]
A Really Good Hockey Practice
Confession: Hockey practice is often not my most favorite of things. Not because I don’t see the value, but because it often gets repetitive. And if it’s repetitive for me, it’s repetitive for my children. And when they get bored, they act like they have never been out in public before. They are sitting on […]
