kids say the darndest things

That's me and my niece, Angelika, she often gets confused as my daughter... I think it's our strong Mendoza genes.

We are about 20 years apart and it's funny how sayings and such have changed since I/we were kids. Recently on one of her field trips I played the Stella Ella Ola clapping game with some of the kids and the words have evolved to something with "cheese and macaroni"!

And just the other day, Angelika had said a variation of the saying for determining North, East, South and West. When we were kids it was either Never Eat Soggy Wheat/Wieners... yesterday she had said Never Entered Shreks Washroom!

bahahahahaha! Kids are too cute :)

Feels good to be apart of something BIG!

As you may or may not know, I work for a construction company… In the 3 years that I’ve been working in this field I’ve obtained a variety of experience as a project accountant through several projects: smaller projects such as renos and banks to more substantial projects such as the Southgate Centre Expansion - which added more than 150,000 sq feet and 30 new retailers including Alberta's fist Kiehl's store, Sephora, Coach, Zara, and Apple.





And now the Edmonton International Airport, it feels good to be a part of something BIG that although you are just one person, you are contributing to something substantial - here’s a sneak peek!
