    The Tiara Trio

    June 22, 2022 /

    Recently, the Sisterhood decided to take a short vacation just to “clear the cobwebs,” relax and above all, maximize the fun factor. We had originally planned a visit to Montreal but instead ended up on Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada….its a long story. Of course we are first and foremost planners. Each sister was charged with bringing an activity so at various points we found ourselves playing Big Sis’ favorite card game called “Sticks”, a version of charades called “Heads Up” favored by Middle Sis and working on our hand eye coordination with Little Sis’ ball contraption. (Big Sis really wanted Middle Sis to plan a “Kerri-Oke” activity,…

    Bonjour Montreal!

    June 6, 2022 /

    This was to be a post just a few days before we left for Montreal to walk a 5k race and see our brother Randy. But, as we have all experienced numerous times over the past few years, we have had to cancel our trip. This means that we do not have our usual Monday blog post today for your reading pleasure. But, fear not, the Sisterhood is nothing if not resilient, and so we will be doing a shorter trip closer to home and will bring you all the details of our adventure in the coming weeks. So for now, its “au revoir” to Montreal but we will be…

    I’ve Got That Uneasy Queasy Feeling

    March 14, 2022 /

    COVID has lulled the Sisterhood into a routine, “one day looks the same as the next,” kind of life. But with all signs pointing to the virus receding into the background soon, and the likelihood that we will be able to resume the pursuit of our goal to walk a 5k race in every province and territory in the country, we thought it was time to get the competitive juices flowing again. Revisiting a time when we abandoned our comfort zone and tackled something that got our hearts racing and the adrenaline pumping will hopefully provide the needed inspiration. You are advised to read on at your peril. The following…

    Thinking While Drinking…

    February 7, 2022 /

    Although it's entirely possible that one might assume alcohol plays a major part in our conversations, the Sisterhood is in fact, a serious and sober entity. Granted, there have been a few occasions where we have enjoyed spirited (pun intended) and creative discussions on unusual topics, some of which are obscure and others that are just plain silly. We usually end up laughing and enjoying ourselves immensely.

    With Christmas as the main event, it seemed like a natural fit to choose "family" as our word of the month for December. Even though COVID continued to make things challenging, the Sisterhood looked forward to the holiday season.

Have We Got A Deal For You! . Big Sis’ grandsons Have We Got A Deal For You!
.
Big Sis’ grandsons were inspired to have a garage sale. However, it wasn’t just your everyday run of the mill garage sale. Nope! It was a Toy Store garage sale and they offered extra benefits. As you can see, there was free parking and e-transfers were available.
.
Was it profitable? Well, it was mostly walk by customers and no one took advantage the etransfer option, but their net profit was approximately $50. ( thanks to a tip from a generous customer.)
.
For now, they have their money in a safe place and are contemplating future endeavours.

On The Road With Betty . Middle Sis here. My husb On The Road With Betty
.
Middle Sis here.  My husband and I are
 just back from an epic road trip for a family celebration of three birthdays, a wedding and a graduation.  Our last stop was in Canmore Alberta.
.
This brought back memories of a road trip we took with mom when we also stayed in Canmore.  She loved the view from our hotel balcony and luckily I captured this special moment.
.
Every time I look at this picture I am reminded of her zest for life and how open she was for new adventures.  I miss her every day, but I know if mom was still with us, she would be right there celebrating these family milestones with us and what I know for sure is:
 Betty Would Love That.

Wondering what this is? It’s part of a daily sum Wondering what this is? It’s part of a daily summary on an App called Cronometer. Big Sis recently used it to start on a weight loss journey.
.
It’s time consuming and a bit tedious, (and she no longer uses it) but it set her on a path to success and taught her some valuable strategies that she still uses to maintain her weight loss.
.
There’s nothing dramatically new here. As social media will tell you, counting your Macros and being in a calorie deficit will work. 
.
Our latest blog post reveals Big Sis’ journey. See the link in our profile to learn the story.

He was a force to be reckoned with - smart, witty and hardworking. Family was very important to dad and we know he would be very proud to see how the family he and mom started so many years ago has grown and flourished.

And so we’ll raise a glass of wine to you dad for “strictly medicinal purposes” of course!

Since 2018 when the Sisterhood of the Travelling Shoes decided they would walk a 5k in every province, they have completed a race in five provinces.

While waiting for COVID restrictions to ease they even did some virtual  walks just to keep in racing shape.😂

Stay tuned to find out which province the Sisterhood will be visiting in 2025 to move them one step closer to their goal. Will it be Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick, Newfoundland or PEI?

Big Sis made a life changing decision 10 years ago Big Sis made a life changing decision 10 years ago. She started a fitness plan that has served her well. At 74 years of age, in spite of some setbacks (a fall, a broken toe, a sprained foot, etc. etc.) she moves with confidence and ease…. Most days that is😊
.
Through it all, her trainer has guided, coaxed and supported her and she is forever grateful. Life is good, and that’s the point of it all, right?
