I don’t know when it began. I can’t pinpoint the day that I started referring to myself in the third person. It seemed like a normal thing to do when I first started it – talking to my (maybe?) 8 month old, saying, “Give that to mommy, please!” or “Come to mommy!” Why? WHY do we do these things? Why ...

It’s true, I did. I fell in love at Blissdom Canada. The first time I saw her, it was in Sponsors Row. She was gorgeous, sitting there in the sunlight. I obviously wasn’t the only one who noticed her beauty, based on the number of people who surrounded her. I’m a bit shy, though, so I passed by, stopping to ... Read More »
Is there anything more comforting than the smell of a fresh batch of granola coming out of the oven? It brings me back to the days of sitting in my mother’s kitchen, waiting impatiently for the piping hot clumps of oats, sunflower seeds, & honey in her enamel roasting pan to cool down enough that they wouldn’t scald my fingers ...

My son was 8 months old the first time we really dealt with fall time change. I tried to prep him – we moved back his bed time every night for a week… we darkened the windows in his room… we threw in an extra prayer before bed…. However, that STUPID night when we fell back, he woke up at 4:30 ... Read More »
Ok, I’ll fess up: I HATE using the word “Diet”. I prefer things like “healthy eating challenge” or “Making changes IN your diet”, but I used the word in the title precisely because it’s the popular term for a weight-loss challenge, and that’s what we’re doing this month. Without further ado, I give you “Ten Ways You Kill Your Diet ... Read More »
We went apple picking a couple weeks ago and had an absolute blast. The apples were slightly over-priced, but when you come away from the adventure with a 3 hour outing AND 20lbs of apples, I’d call it a win. Not surprisingly, my big plans to make apple everything that week didn’t pan out – one of the kids got ... Read More »
I was rifling through the last three years of our digital storage, looking for a particular photo that I KNEW that I took, when I realized something – I don’t take many videos of the kids. I take a lot of pictures – and by “a lot”, I actually mean “an insane amount.” What I don’t do is hit record & ... Read More »
I always loved going Trick or Treating as a kid – well, as long as I could get away with it, to be honest! My reasons for loving it were pretty much the same as the average kid: 1) It’s SUPER fun to dress up and go out in public! (We don’t do that enough as adults!) 2) CANDY. I get ... Read More »
Several weeks ago now, we attended Blissdom Canada, a blogging & social media conference. Target Canada was our super awesome wardrobe sponsor & kept us clothed for all of the many events. One of the events that I shopped for was the Throw Back Thursday party (sponsored by Kahlua) – can I just say, what an awesome theme for a ... Read More »
Ah, October. We go straight from pumpkin pies, thankfulness, & warm fuzzies to jack’o’lanterns, frights, and spooky stories. Mysteries abound. I myself have gotten caught up in “MidSomer Murders” on Netflix, a British who-dunnit with a run of 15 series of 3-5 episodes each. It’s fantastic – it combines the picturesque English countryside & idyllic small towns with multiple murders ... Read More »
