Almost Arctic:A Canadian Adventure
Author
I am an All-American stay-at-home mom living in Northern Alberta, Canada. I have 3 amazing children, a daughter 11, a son 8, and another daughter 13 months. We have been relocated to Ft.McMurray from Houston for my husband's job as a Construction Manager/engineer for a global based construction company that specializes in energy related structures. I spend my days navigating the slight but often frustrating cultural differences, shuttling kids and keeping all balls in the air!
