Book Recommendation

This book is a MUST read if you are a Canadian...really it's for everyone though. Especially if you wish to be more informed about First Nations people in Canada. I have just finished the second chapter, and I am loving it.

Anishnaabe World: A Survival Guide for Building Bridges between Canada and First Nations

So far he has covered an amazing amount of stereotypes, broken them down and tossed them out the window! Seriously! You should read it. It is empowering me, and giving me pride.

I will share more when I finish the book, but it has started out strong, and I can imagine it only gets better!

Win Your Discount Wednesday at SVP-July 13, 2011

Today we went to Salvation Army as well as St Vincent de Paul. The kids really wanted to go to both thrift stores. I was okay with that idea.

Here is what I picked up from SVP, and I picked a 50% off chip! Awesome!

I have been thinking about getting a cake decorating set for birthday cupcakes, and low and behold, look what was at the thrift shop today:)

More shirts, and some fabric to transform into cute kids clothing.

And this! Wow! It's not something I will ever wear, but it was just to cool to pass up!

The boys also picked out a toy each from SVP.

At the Sally Anne, I found almost the entire "A Series of Unfortunate Events" for $0.99 each. It's just missing book 9, which I am sure we can easily find at the library. The books are in pristine condition. 

Thanks to my boys for the wonderful idea of visiting both shops today!
