Monday, July 9, 2012. Fishing Trip 2012 with Connor's First (and second) Fish! We were back at Lake of the Prairies for our annual fishing trip. We had a wonderful time.the weather was great, the fishing was fantastic, and the food was amazing as always. It's always nice to spend time with the family and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Here are just a few photos from our recent trip. I love summer. It paid off because Connor caught two fish and he didn't fish for very long. Fishing and lovin' it! First on ...

Thursday, September 27, 2012. The Coliseum and The Roman Forum. Date: August 11th, 2012. Itinerary: Rome, Italy. Happy 5th Anniversary to us! This was a day we were very much looking forward to.what better way to spend a special anniversary than touring the famous Colloseum and the Roman Forum! We spent the extra money on the upgraded tour with access to the underground area and the upper tiers. It was well worth the cost and the tour was very interesting. At some point in history, a Pope decided that th...

A Sophisticated Mommy: Notes from the IT Summit
http://asophisticatedmommy.blogspot.com/2013/05/ramblings-from-it-summit.html
Tuesday, May 7, 2013. Notes from the IT Summit. What kids love that helps them learn:. People like three to nineteen choices in life. Checklist for good generative topics. Does it pass the “so what? Is it epic and big scale, not tiny and “fake”? Does it cover more than just one curriculum subject or topic, or have four or more ways of solving it? Does it spark natural curiosity? Is there enough potential material in which learners can immerse themselves? Think of as many titles as possible.

A Sophisticated Mommy: Choo Choo! All aboard the holiday train!
http://asophisticatedmommy.blogspot.com/2010/12/choo-choo-all-aboard-holiday-train.html
Monday, December 6, 2010. All aboard the holiday train! I think this picture is self-explanatory. It was this year although I doubt we'll go next year unless it's a bit warmer. If you are wondering when it comes to your city, there's a schedule of the CPR's website. It's worth a trip to check it out and make a donation to your local food bank. Mommy and Aleena all bundled up! A kind stranger took this family photo. A nice view of the Christmas lights on the train cars. December 6, 2010 at 9:54 PM. Aleena...

A Sophisticated Mommy: December 2012
http://asophisticatedmommy.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 13, 2012. Apps Galore at the Apple Learning Tour. I took advantage of a great opportunity to attend an Apple Education Seminar today. I learned all about Ibooks, Itunes U and lots of education apps. First of all, check out the Apple Education page. For lots of useful resources. For apps in particular, you can explore the Apps page. Finally, I am interested in trying out the Itunes U course manager and seeing if it would work with the devices that students have available. Just for f...

A Sophisticated Mommy: RCMP Royal Road Race - A great day!
http://asophisticatedmommy.blogspot.com/2013/05/rcmp-royal-road-race-great-day.html
Friday, May 17, 2013. RCMP Royal Road Race - A great day! Last Saturday, I participated in the Royal Road Race for the first time. It's a 10 km race around the RCMP barracks in Regina and it was an awesome family experience. As soon as we got there, we were greeted by the RCMP bagpipers and the kids had a chance to meet Safety Bear which they loved. It was absolutely wonderful all around and even the weather co-operated for once. Also, thanks to Sawatzky Studios for the lovely memories of a fun day!

A Sophisticated Mommy: Yummy Apple, Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp
http://asophisticatedmommy.blogspot.com/2011/08/yummy-apple-strawberry-and-rhubarb.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. Yummy Apple, Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp. It's delicious on its own as well. I always double this recipe because we manage to gobble it up really quickly. It's not that hard to make but I would rather just get through coring, peeling and slicing the apples at one time rather than a couple times. It's not my favourite thing to do. Here's the recipe. It's another recipe from the LooneySpoons cookbook by Janet and Greta Podleski. Apple, Strawberry and Rhubarb Crisp. I use frozen sl...

A Sophisticated Mommy: Introducing Darling Dudz!
http://asophisticatedmommy.blogspot.com/2011/02/introducing-darling-dudz.html
Sunday, February 6, 2011. I also came up with Trendy Threads and Adorable Duds but they didn't make the cut for a few reasons. It's hard to find a name that is actually unique or different these days. It seems like everything is already taken. So I picked a name and went ahead and designed a simple logo. I have to say that I am quite proud of how it turned out! If you or anyone you know might be interested in checking out my new little online shop, feel free to add Darling Dudz. Clothing can be either pi...

A Sophisticated Mommy: Skor Shortbread Cookies
http://asophisticatedmommy.blogspot.com/2010/12/skor-shortbread-cookies.html
Wednesday, December 15, 2010. So I've decided that chocolate bars and cookies are clearly a winning combination. To stick with a good thing, I tried the Shortbread Meltaway recipe from the Robin Hood website. Which uses Skor toffee bits. Thanks to Corri for letting me know about this recipe! Unsalted butter, softened. ROBIN HOOD All Purpose Flour. PREHEAT oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Martha whipped up the dough in no time at all. The cookie dough rolled up easily. Try t...
