When I opened a package from Renew Life last month in October, I didn’t expect my husband to be so excited about the contents of the package – namely, a bottle of Renew Life Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 billion probiotic pills. You see, at the end of the first week of school way back in September, our two darling children ... Read More »
2017. What a year! For our family, 2017 was a year of change and adventure and a very tired and grumpy mommy! We took a trip together last February to BC to visit family – our youngest’s first time on a plane! I got a job at WestJet, completed their intensive training program, and realized over the course of my ... Read More »
5.5 years ago when our strapping young man was but a wee toddler, Netflix was more portable than a DVD player, but only as portable as your data plan or wifi signal. Our little man was not a happy traveler once we passed the 2 hour mark in the car – and since both Grandmas lived farther away than 2 hours, ... Read More »
Have you ever noticed that something as the simple whiff of a brand new binder can completely transport you years back? A few weeks ago on our way home from a European adventure, we stayed in an Amsterdam airport hotel. The hotel was cheap but so well designed. It was truly the first airport hotel that made it seem ... Read More »
I’ve got a new job! I finished up my time at WestJet as a Customer Service Agent last month – what a fun (and exhausting! and rewarding!) job, but at this point in life, I’ve decided that getting up at 3am to go to work is not so much what I see myself doing for the next few years, or ...

The kids get invited to Princess Parties at local castles, jumping parties at giant trampoline parks, soccer parties at indoor sports complexes. Pinterest tells us that birthday parties at home need to consist of elaborate cakes and decorations and organized games, and these days you need to count ... Read More »
It’s been almost a year since I got my Moto Z smartphone and my Moto Surround Bluetooth headphones. If you’ve seen me in person, you’ve seen me showing off the wonders of the Moto Z and the Moto Mods that can transform the phone – from the necessary extra snap-on battery pack (it has a 4k screen which means that ...

As I’ve said in the last few posts, completing the Whole30 challenge was, indeed, a challenge for me. I didn’t like leaving behind my favourite recipes and foods. I did, however, come across a few recipes that have joined my new meal rotation. I got pretty sick and tired of eating eggs ALL THE TIME. I used to hate eggs ... Read More »
What a couple of months it’s been! A new job with crazy hours (4am-7am? #yawn), a move, the Whole30 challenge, a road trip in the UK, and then class trips and the last week of school. And then the summer is truly upon us, as Canada Day is fast approaching! I wanted to do a bit of an update on ... Read More »
Well, here we are, Day 30 of the Whole30! I have to say, we did cheat a wee bit yesterday and today. Yesterday, we ran out of homemade compliant mayonnaise, so I made egg salad with non-compliant mayo. Today, we were out of compliant salad dressing, so I used the dressing that came with the Super 7 salad kit, which ... Read More »
