The year that my first child was born, there was a Groupon for a cleaning maid service. How luxurious! I thought that I’d treat myself – absolutely I’d pay $30 for a house cleaner for 2 hours while I sit with my feet up and nurse my baby! …and then, before I knew it, my Groupon had expired. I did the ... Read More »
Our family has always loved apple crisp. And my 7-year old often tells me that the one thing that would make it better would be vanilla ice cream on top! Well, isn’t everything better with ice cream on top?!! We don’t often have ice cream in the house, so I thought I’d experiment with a way of getting that vanilla-y, ... Read More »
The electronics, in our house, are not yet for the kiddos. 3.5 year old H has a few reasonable ‘techie’ toys; 2 year old A has none, and neither of them are allowed to touch either our phones or the iPad for any reason. There are just so many toys and books and games and crayons and colouring books in our ... Read More »

Sunday evenings at 6pm in our house growing up meant the only meal of the week that we’d eat in front of the TV – all thanks to The Wonderful World of Disney. Bedknobs & Broomsticks, The Parent Trap, and Davy Crockett were all great, but our favourites were always episodes / movies when Mickey & the ‘gang’ would show up. ... Read More »

For the first 12 years of our marriage, we only had one bathroom. That was fine when it was just the two of us, but after the first, second, third, and fourth child, it became pretty busy and crowded. And so we finally moved to a new house with three bathrooms! Three! As wonderful as that is, it also comes ... Read More »
Disclaimer: I was provided with a KitchenAid Produce Preserver & Gift Card for Produce in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts & opinions are my own. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, one in four produce items in the average Canadian household gets thrown in the garbage. That’s crazy! That’s like throwing out $600 every year! TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of produce ... Read More »
