I don’t know about you, but when I was a tween (which, by the way, wasn’t a thing when I was growing up!), I had my utopian house blue prints down to a T. Literally. Inspired by my best friend Donna, I bought a pad of graph paper and started figure out room layout, door & window placement, & contemplated the ... Read More »
Well, I’m finally one of the many making school lunches every morning. My little man is almost 2 weeks into his school career and LOVING it. Hendrik’s school, like many, has 2 ‘nutrition breaks’ instead of snack time & lunch time. This means that I need to pack him 2 mini-lunches, because if he was left to his own devices ... Read More »
We love summer here at our house. We change gears from the fast-paced school days to some laid-back summer fun days! One of our favourite day trips is to head out to the beach. We pack a lot of snacks and spend most of the day there. Everyone has a great time and comes home exhausted! With these laid-back days, ... Read More »

Recipe & Giveaway I love recipes that are simple, and this one is no exception. A recipe for quick cinnamon rolls that only takes TWO ingredients? And is done in 30 minutes, start to finish? Perfect for unexpected house guests, or for Sunday brunch. It’s also great for kids to help with, since there are not a lot of complicated ... Read More »
We spent the 2nd year of my son’s life almost wheat-free in our house. He had severe stomach issues, and removing wheat from his diet seemed to make the most difference for him. This is when we were first exposed to Barbara’s Puffins cereal. Wheat free, and they had a peanut butter flavour. Score. Two years previous, we had taken a ... Read More »
Last year, H-Man went to his first ever Monster Truck event here in Hamilton, and we’ve been hearing tales about it weekly ever since. As though he knows that Monster Jam is returning to town this month, the frequency of the Monster Truck conversation is increasing daily. The questions, the observations, the totally amazing Monster Truck facts! He doesn’t know ... Read More »
The very first album that I ever owned was The Lion King soundtrack. My brother bought it for me for Christmas when I was in grade 5. It was a cassette tape. I listened to it until I could sing every sing word of every single song. This would be about the equivalent of a child today watching the movie ... Read More »
This past summer, we had the chance to take a Honda Pilot on vacation to a cottage in Michigan. It’s (almost) always exciting to try out a new vehicle, but the Pilot was an particularly exciting vehicle for us. We’re not so much the folks that only take the ‘bare essentials’ with us when heading out on vacation, so that always ... Read More »
I’m going to admit something: I didn’t take Prenatal Vitamins when I was pregnant with either child. It had nothing to do with the fact that I was against them in any fashion, or that I thought that I was too good for them. I’d like to say that I was eating SO healthy that I was already getting the proper ... Read More »
