Apologies from the Edito

OK - I admit it - I have been TERRIBLE at blogging this summer. Well - fall is here and it is time to get onto posting pictures again. Here was my summer in a snapshot.
July 2nd - started a new job - travelled to Edmonton
August 3 - travelled to London and then Paris
August 15 - travelled to BC
August 21 - travelled to Trenton (ok it is Onatrio but have you been there?  A long way to go on a Sunday)
And here we are September 13 and blog catch up time. Enjoy the pictures and sorry for the lack of postings

Camping Weekend!






It was Maddison's fist 'day' camping ever... so we needed to make it memorable. Dad packed the car like a pro - good thing for the ski box and the bike rack - everything fit in!
Dustind picked out a new princess sleeping bag for Maddision.
We purchased boxed cereal, Jiffy Pop and Smores for the fire. Mommy and Daddy had steak, asparagus, zuchini, mushrooms and a lovely bottle of wine (so they say). Waking up to fresh brewed coffee in the morning was a must for Mom so Dad took good care of her! All day swimming Sunday (and poor Maddison up with simmers itch on Sunday night...)

Strawberry Festival



Strawberry Festival 2012 - a beautiful sunny day and very happy kids! Maddison had her first ride on a horse!! Dustind went on a real 'big boy' ride at the midway (picture didn't work out on my phone!!) and then up North for the rest of the weekend. More pictures to follow this week!

In the Food Truck business


Many of you have heard me talk of my job a bit lately. Just over 4 years ago I started at Kraft and one of my favourite brands from day one has been Kraft Peanut Butter. That may be because I ate PB sandwiches every day from Grade 1 - 6 or possibly because I won our school public speaking competition for my speach on Peanut Butter. Or it could be that each and every year we execute a heart warming campaign! As I am wrapping up my final week on my current desk - I'm so excited that the food truck I've been working on for months hits the road this Wednesday in Vancouver. I'm lucky enough to fly out to Edmonton for our PR stop there next month - and then I'm officially off my desk and into the world of Hockey!!

The truck and several other big programs have been keeping me busy and away from blogging - I know I owe a huge update of pictuers (including Maddison's birthday party!) hope to get time to update soon.

For now visit http://www.spreadthefeeling.ca/ and share your own Peanut Butter creation and your creation could be served at the food truck when it arrives in Toronto! (I know... shameless plug but this just shows you a little bit into the life of 'work Jo' :)

Only in Stouffville



Only in Stouffville can you go through a drive through on a horse for coffee...

While Dad is away

The kids will play! Soccer night for Dustind (and Maddy had to wear her pink soccer shoes to watch) and fun fair at Oscar Peterson Public School!


Shots from Italy

With BBM Dad has been able to stay in touch and send us pictures of his trip. He brought a special frined along and sent some pictures so we could see their adventures! Stand by for Dad to load his own page and stories from Italy - frm what we hear there was a lot of food and a lot of wine!
