I'm finishing up month 7 of my new experiences for 2014 and there are two things that stand out this month - another road trip and my boobs. My boobs don't stand out literally (sigh), but more about that in a bit. Let's start with the road trip.

It was the first mother-son road trip I've been on and you guessed it - I took my son. We went to Echo Valley for a few meetings, but I had plenty of time for taking walks, biking, swimming and all the other fun stuff people do with their kids. This included sharing a bed and it was an experience that made me realize something: the kid needs his own bed, even better his own room next time we go anywhere.

It's been a few really hot weeks here in the BC Interior and once the temperature rises above 30°C for an extended period of time, you can bet your ass there will be forest fires. Apart from the fires started by dipshits due to carelessness or not putting out campfires properly, there are also always fires caused by lightning.

One of those fires is the Maka-Murray wildfire, currently at 400 ha size, about 35-40 km south of our hometown of Merritt. 

Why am I telling you about this?

Did you know that I'm currently married for the third time (and by "currently" I don't mean that that's changing any time soon - we're good!)?

Anyway - my lovely friend Laura at Mommy Miracles asked me to participate in her essay project Writing Vows. It's an essay project about marriage and I do have a thing or two or three to say about that....

Please come and join me there - and also read the other essays, it's a wonderful project and I'm more than thrilled to be a part of it!
