Growing up with Bea: Fridate at Ikea, Edmonton
http://growingupwithbea.blogspot.com/2015/04/fridate-at-ikea-edmonton.html
Fridate at Ikea, Edmonton. While I was still in school I texted hubby, "Let's go out tonight." "OK! Was his eager reply. When we were still in the Philippines, we went out often. Here in Edmonton, we don't go out as much mainly because malls close early! Hehe Plus, we're trying to watch our budget too. Anyway Ikea is always a good option because they close at 9:00 pm, they have affordable yet delicious food, and they have really house goodies at very reasonable prices! Growing up with bea. Enjoying the S...

Growing up with Bea: A Mother's Day Gift
http://growingupwithbea.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-mothers-day-gift.html
A Mother's Day Gift. Yesterday, my daughter came home really excited. She asked me to close my eyes because she had a surprise for me. I happily obliged. When I opened my eyes, I saw this beautiful sight in front of me:. My mother's day surprise. Apparently, her teacher from school helped the class make a simple but meaningful gift for moms. She happily explained to me that she even chose my favourite color of wrapping paper and ribbon. Isn't that sweet? I eagerly unwrapped my present. Fell in love in Ma...

Coffee on the Porch with Me: January 2nd 2017
http://coffeeontheporchwithme.blogspot.com/2017/01/january-2nd-2017.html
Coffee on the Porch with Me. Monday, 2 January 2017. In years gone by, the week that begins January has been notoriously stormy. There have been bus cancellation days for schools and even road closures. So, it was rather pleasant and surprising that today started out with such beautiful sunshine. It was lovely to have a cup off coffee at the computer with the sun streaming into the kitchen. Scooter the tailless cat appreciated the pathway I made for him on the porch. I'm not much of a movie watcher. ...

Coffee on the Porch with Me: Sleep, perchance to dream...
http://coffeeontheporchwithme.blogspot.com/2017/01/sleep-perchance-to-dream.html
Coffee on the Porch with Me. Friday, 6 January 2017. Sleep, perchance to dream. Last night I had the most bizarre dream. In my dream, my back teeth were loose. I could feel them move under my tongue. Then later in the dream, my back teeth came out, just like when you are a kid, and there is no root left, just tooth. Shortly after that, the teeth in front of those also became loose and fell out! Have you ever had a tooth dream? A common meaning of "tooth dreams" was having to deal with a stressful situati...

Coffee on the Porch with Me. Tuesday, 30 August 2016. Addendum to the Ugly Shoes. So then I realized they were not only ugly, but also preferred by an older crowd. (Unless she was a fierce example of mutton dressed as lamb) (with her freshly curled coif). Here's another shot of my comfy ugly skechers shoes. That's what you get for calling my shoes ugly! You get a great big ugly shoe! Links to this post. Monday, 29 August 2016. Newly Discovered Caprese Salad. What did you have for supper? Anyway, as the p...

Coffee on the Porch with Me. Saturday, 28 January 2017. Things you Find by the Side of the Road. I was driving to work in the morning. I saw this in the distance. Keep in mind, I travel a rural backroad to get to work. There was a bush lot on one side of the road and a field on the other. I got closer. Yup, it's a chair. At the side of the road. It doesn't even look that bad. I wonder what the story is behind this? The chair remained for about three more days. Then it was gone. Links to this post. Didn't...

Coffee on the Porch with Me: December 2016
http://coffeeontheporchwithme.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Coffee on the Porch with Me. Saturday, 31 December 2016. All the Best in 2017. Sometimes when I am in a tiny rage over something, or worried sick, or anxiously trying to meet a deadline, I try to remind myself of some wisdom that I've picked up from somewhere (again, honestly can't remember from where I gleaned this) and that is to ask myself, will this matter in an hour, in a day, in a month, in a year? I do well to put things into perspective, let things go, move on, remember that "this too shall pass".

Growing up with Bea: May 2015
http://growingupwithbea.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Bea's Day with the Dinosaurs and a Dinosaur Egg. Last week, the whole family went to the Telus World of Science Edmonton (TWOSE) to visit the Dinosaurs Unearthed Exhibit. Read about our adventure here. Bea had a grand time in the giant sand box where kids can jump right in and use brushes to look for fossils. Move it, move it! It is a huge egg that you are supposed to submerge in water. Then after 12-24 hours the egg will hatch. The photo on top shows the egg more than 12 hours under water. Last January,...
