One of the great perks of living in the nation's capital of Ottawa, ON is all of the unique events and festivals that take place here and as the season begins, the Tulip Festival starts this weekend and runs for the next 3 weekends. Downtown and along the canal there will be many explosions of colour as you walk or drive or jog (you adventurous ones) by the many beds of tulips lining the festival corridor. A great backdrop for family photo ops so wear your best smile.
The most up to date report says that the tulips may be a bit 'shy' this weekend but with a little coaxing from Mother Nature and a ever present audience (that's where you come in), I'm sure they will be blooming very soon. For more information on the Tulip Festival,

Mother's Day is almost here. And it means different things to different people. It's a day for celebrating with our moms or remembering our moms. Moms wear a lot of hats over the years and I think that sometimes we don't realize EVERYTHING a mom does until we become one ourselves. Some say it's the hardest job out there and this is true in many regards but it's also one of the most gratifying (most of the time anyways:)
So, whether it's breakfast in bed, flowers, something shiny, an original poem, a coveted craft made at school or a big hug and kiss, enjoy it all!
Happy Mother's Day!
Joanne
