There’s something that I haven’t been able to figure out yet, perhaps you can help me with this: Why are almost all of the Christmas / Holiday / Winter dresses for Toddlers sleeveless? I understand why Christmas dresses for women are sleeveless: it looks far more elegant and quite a bit more sexy than their long-sleeved counter-parts. For the life ... Read More »

The Secret Life of a Blogger
Alright, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that not all bloggers are like this – but the more time I spend on crafts & snacks with the kids, taking pictures for the blog posts, and then actually writing up the blog posts, the less time I spend organizing my house. That means that occasionally when I take ... Read More »

Help, Mommy Can’t Stop Talking About Herself in the Third Person!
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 ...

I fell in love at #BlissdomCA. #FavouritesFriday
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.

Day Light Savings Time Change? What Time Change? Surviving the Time Change with Toddlers
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 »
Capturing the Best Bits to Look Back on OneDay… #OneDayKids
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 »

How I Spent My Summer Vacation: An Ontarian in Michigan #RoamOn
People had a pretty predictable reaction when we told them that our summer vacation was going to be heading to Michigan for a week to stay in the cottage that we rented there: “Why Michigan? Isn’t there a million cottages here in Ontario that you could rent that would be closer?” Excellent question. Yes, there are a million cottages for ... Read More »
