Confession time: I visited Target EVERY SINGLE DAY last week. And not just one Target – there were several days when I hit at least two different locations. What’s a girl to do when ALL of the Halloween stuff is on sale for 70%-90% off, I ask you?! At the beginning of the week, I had precisely 1 costume in ... Read More »

Here’s a great list we’ve shared over at save.ca with a great step-by-step list (or a “honey-do” list). Prepping Your Home for Winter 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 »

How hard could it be? As usual, we did a quick Pinterest search for some Incredible Hulk Costume inspiration (and ignored the “Hulk Hogan” costumes) ... Read More »

We get to a service station and realize that we did not pack the dog’s things – we forgot the dog leash. As if I don’t have enough to think about when getting ready. We did grab ... Read More »
In my social circle, I was one of the first subscribers to Wagjag & Groupon (I can’t remember how far in Living Social, DealFind, & TeamBuy were by the time I signed up…). I was on top of it – what the best deal was, how to get it for free by sharing it first, all that stuff. However, after ... Read More »

I learned something extremely important this summer: there is a company called dinnerlicious!, based right here in Hamilton, Ontario, that delivers fresh food (mostly local, many organic) and easy to prepare recipes in a meal plan RIGHT TO YOUR FRONT DOOR. And it’s completely affordable! It’s it’s an absolutely reasonable price for the average family, and because dinnerlicious! delivers only the ... Read More »
With all the hype everywhere about “Back to School” and getting organized, I sometimes get a little annoyed. There are so many lists and ideas and ways to stay organized (just do a search at www.pinterest.com ), but I don’t have the time for all that effort. If you haven’t noticed yet, this blog is about how to simplify the things you ... Read More »
