I love cheering on people doing good in the world! 📣 I’m a Wife. Mom. Grandma. Friend. 🇨🇦

This photo was taken on his 69th birthday, the las This photo was taken on his 69th birthday, the last birthday we got to celebrate with him. Today, he would have been 79. 

My dad lived with purpose, gave freely, and loved without limits. Entrepreneur, designer, builder, father, mentor, friend. He made room for everyone, welcomed anyone who needed a second chance, and believed deeply in the power of faith and hard work.

He built award-winning spaces, launched businesses from scratch, and created a home that never stopped growing. He believed in prayer, generosity, and showing up. Always.

His hugs were unforgettable. His humour was goofy and heartfelt. His blueberry pancakes were legendary.

His fingerprints are everywhere. On our lives, our memories, and every place his vision brought to life.

He was a builder of people, a man of faith, and a legacy that continues through us.

Happy birthday, Dad. We miss you, BIG MUCH.

Part 2: Mischuks Go All-In 🇲🇽 Our 2nd week Part 2: Mischuks Go All-In 🇲🇽 

Our 2nd week in Mexico brought more of everything. More adventure, more activities, more food, and even more memories.

We stayed at the all-inclusive @elcidresorts Marina Spa & Beach Resort in Puerto Morelos.

It’s easy to enjoy when your fridge is restocked daily, your butler knows your favourite snacks, and hydrotherapy becomes part of your routine.

We ate well, soaked in every bit of sunshine and salt air and played beach volleyball until the sand became part of us. 

This was also where my oldest grandson levelled up his courage meter! Watching Z (who is 3) try new things and take brave steps (or leaps in this case) made it all the more special.

Emma’s already making plans for her next girls trip...

The sun was hot, the resort was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the pool time was perfect, and the memories will last a lifetime.

Stay tuned for part 2.

We planned this trip for over a year, and now here We planned this trip for over a year, and now here we are, all ten of us, together for the next 2 weeks! 

After a few intense years of stretching, growth, and grit, this isn’t just a vacation, it’s a victory tour. A celebration of resilience, answered prayers, and grace that held. 

This season feels like a deep exhale.
A holy reset.
A fulfillment of promise.
And we don’t take any of it for granted.
Last Friday, Jacob and I caught the red-eye from Y Last Friday, Jacob and I caught the red-eye from YVR to KW with one mission: surprise my oldest, Quinton, and celebrate the completion of his B.Ed and new job. Safe to say, mission accomplished. He was shocked. Totally worth the overnight flight and zero sleep.
My Grandsons…. 😂

First born: ‘Is it safe?’
Second born: already mid-air ‘Too late now!’ ❤️

My heart could burst. 💛 Please help me congrat My heart could burst. 💛

Please help me congratulate my oldest, Quinton, who just got his B.Ed and is officially an Ontario Elementary School Teacher! This fall, he starts at a school in Kitchener, after years of hard work.

While attending school full-time for the last two years at Redeemer University in Hamilton (commuting over an hour each way, every day), Quinton also worked two jobs, was a devoted church member, husband, and poured his heart into being a present and playful father to their two little boys. It wasn’t easy, but he never gave up.

You did it, Quinton! You pushed through, you persevered. 

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🙌
Last night we celebrated two incredible humans: Ha Last night we celebrated two incredible humans: Hailey Bailey and Bubba.

Hailey is the 3rd child of my youngest sister. Carson is the 3rd of my oldest. And while they come from opposite ends of the family tree—they’ve got more in common than giving their moms their fair share of grey hairs growing up! 

Different branches of the tree—same roots. Loyal. Kind. Hardworking. Strong-willed in the very best of ways.

They live out the heartbeat of our family motto: “faithful through adversity”. When life pushes hard, they dig in harder. They show up. They endure. They keep going.

Hailey, 25 looks good on you. You have a special way of making people feel seen. You are compassionate, nurturing (Blake’s lucky to have you), and just the right amount of spicy. 🌶️ 

Carson, you make 38 look easy. Steady, reliable, and a good dad. You show up, get it done, and make us laugh. You’re a solid presence in our lives.

Two “3rd kids”, showing us what it looks like to be faithful, resilient, and loved BIG MUCH. I am proud of you both. 😘 Happy Birthday!!

Nine years without my dad, and yet he’s still ev Nine years without my dad, and yet he’s still everywhere. In the way we laugh, in the way we show up for people, and in the odd little tricks he left us with. He taught us how to play the bagpipes—with our nose and throat. How to magically take our fingers off and on. How to become a puppet with the edge of a mirror.

He had a rule for design: always think in thirds. A rule for ice cream: bite it, don’t lick it. And a rule for road trips: always keep a stash of trail mix under the seat. He could turn an RV into a rolling tour experience and would start laughing at a joke before he even finished telling it.

He found joy in the little things and made sure everyone around him did too. His humour, adventure, and generosity live on.

What did he teach you?
The First of Us. ❤️#HappyValentinesDay

Belong. Believe. Behave: Why Faith Starts With Bel Belong. Believe. Behave: Why Faith Starts With Belonging

Before Christmas, I had the privilege of speaking at a women’s event at Peace Portal Church, sharing a portion of this message that has deeply shaped my faith: Belong. Believe. Behave.

For too long, we’ve believed that we must fix ourselves before God will accept us, but Scripture reveals the opposite—belonging comes first. When we know we are welcomed and loved by God, belief follows naturally, and transformation flows from that foundation. In my recent blog post, I unpack how belonging shapes faith, belief grows from love, and true change starts from the inside out. Whether you’ve ever felt like an outsider in faith or want to create spaces of belonging for others, this message is for you.

Please read the full post on my blog; link is also in my bio: https://www.shasherslife.ca/2025/02/belong-believe-behave-faith-journey.html
