Sooooo this weekend was a freaking gong show, you guys! Shakespeare would have called it a comedy of errors, whereby nearly anything that COULD go wrong did. So you know what? I am gonna “glad game” the hell out of it.
….
The drive home was spent with 3/4 of The Desautels Family reading good books, while the remaining 1/4 drove, listening to his favourite music.
……
We went to the very first Starbucks and it wasn’t very busy, so we got to try the limited edition Witch’s Brew.
…..
We had dinner in an Irish Pub in Post Alley, and the kids got to drink bottled root beer, which was a highlight for them.
……
Target had buy 2 get 1 free kids books today, and I have 2 kids, sooooo… 😉
…….
Our hotel had cookies and hot apple cider at bed time.
……
We all had good night sleeps after watching Monster’s University and a super long walk in the rain.
…….
The kids have giggled together for 2 days straight, and cuddled nicely in bed last night.
…….
Our hotel provided a complimentary hot breakfast buffet.
……
And – drumroll please- we made memories that we can laugh at 25 years from now.
Originally intended to simply focus on book reviews, over time, KaliDesautelsReads has morphed into its own entity.
I write about issues that are near to my heart, be they political, feminist, motherhood, mental health, or, as the title holds, books.
A thirty-something Canadian woman in my mid-thirties, I have been "super married" to my high school sweetheart since 2006, and together we have two crazy, clever, kind, hilarious, wonderful kids.
My first book - How Not To Blog: Finding Myself, One Post at a Time is available on Amazon (in eBook formats for you clever tech readers, and paperback for those of us who love that new book smell!)
I have tried a podcast - it's still on Apple and Google Podcasts - but writing is where my heart is.
My life changed dramatically when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer in 2018, and I am now a writer for a leading Canadian Cancer Non-Profit.
I am lucky enough to have a family that loves me and pushes me to be my best, even if it is outside of my cushiony comfort zone. I have a village of friends that nourish me, mentally, and spiritually.
Welcome to my thoughts. Sit down. Stay a while. Enjoy a cup of coffee!
