My favourite parts of this trip to Montreal:
🚲 Bikes
🛷 Sled giggles
🏊 ❄️ Swimming under the snow
🏫 School bike racks filled with kids bikes
🛑 Girls walking home from school conversing with the crossing guard
🛍️ Simons
🍑 My husband thinking the correct response to “merci” is “derrière”

Build walkable, liveable cities and as a bonus you’ll get children giggling as they commute to school/daycare by sled.

My 8th great grandfather was the King of England.
(My 7th great grandfather was his illegitimate son).

Had an awesome time at the Anglophone North School district mountain bike races today!
Kids came home with 1st place, 3rd place, and 2nd place for their respective groups/grades!
Very glad to be a bike-loving family.

Yesterday’s bike commute was brought to me by:
⭐️ the stars
🥶 the cold noticeably impacting my battery life
🤢 Chatham’s current bad smell
😳 this long piece of metal getting wound around my cassette and forcing me to do emergency maintenance on the narrow sidewalk of the Centennial Bridge.

My children might not believe in Santa or the tooth fairy anymore, but somehow they’ve managed to keep their belief in the dishwasher fairy.

I forgot that our car was in the shop today. My 11yo had soccer right after school and my 13yo had practice after that.
Good thing I had planned for us to bike these drop-off/pickups anyway! It allowed my 13yo to manage her own schedule, and gave me a chance to hear all about my son’s day - a gift!

Listening to Ella and Louis Again this morning and my kids asked me who the male voice was. “Louis Armstrong”, I responded
“Oh, so Neil’s brother?”

Decided earlier this week that LEGO stocking stuffers this year were going to be custom holiday village MOCs from Rebrickable (including these cargo bikes).
And - of course - LEGO announced today they’re temporarily limiting pick a brick service in US and Canada because of US tariffs. 😭

I know people hate their front load washing machines but I will never buy a top load machine without an agitator again.
This error code has single handedly stolen innumerable hours from my life over the last 10 years, and has also removed any energy efficiency this machine was supposed to have.
