Just thought I’d share another one of my favourite things with you. My sister/co-author of the blog got her KitchenAid about a year before me, and was very excited about it. I thought it was a really nice-looking appliance, but wasn’t sure if I needed one. My mom came across a second-hand one for me later on, so I ... Read More »
LONGEST WINTER EVER. But. You know what’s exciting? Today is the very first Friday of Spring. Yes, it’s going to snow several more times before the beginning of May. We may even have another storm big enough to cancel school. But you know what? The days march forward. The calendar does not lie. We’re headed in the direction of warm ... Read More »
I used to be a scrapbooker. Not a hardcore one. I’d buy dollar store items and cut & glue my stuff. It looked kind of nice, but would often fall apart. And it would take so long to get out all the supplies, not to mention getting the pictures printed and picked up. Eventually I fell behind, and once ... Read More »
I fully admit it: I’m a Target Addict. At first glance, there’s not a lot that sets them apart from their forerunner (Zellers). It’s a brightly lit store, the brand colours are pretty much the same, and there usually aren’t a lot of shoppers around. However. There are marked differences: there are (helpful) staff everywhere; the merchandise is bright, stylish, and well priced, ... Read More »
We’ve been using our public library for years, and we love the selection they have, and their printout they provide of all the books we have out. But recently, our older two have also started bringing home 3 books a week from their school library, and they tend to be smaller in size (paperback novels) with no printout. We end ... Read More »
Birthdays are always a pretty special thing to celebrate – something that becomes radically more apparent when little ones come into your life – whether they’re your own, your grandchildren, nieces & nephews…- it’s pretty hard not to get caught up in the excitement. To be honest, we didn’t go all out for 1st birthdays in our house – each ... Read More »
Two years ago right now, my husband & I were coming around to the very real fact that we were going to be parents for the second time. DS was only 10 months, and I am not a good pregnant person. Really. I thought that I’d be great at it, but it turns out that pregnancy is just something that ... Read More »
One of the reasons I’m so excited to be a part of this KinderMom campaign is our family connection to Kinder Surprises. When my husband & I first met 17 years ago, we started collecting Kinder Surprise toys. We had a large shelf on the wall and sorted them according to type of toy (car, animal, person and the dreaded ... Read More »
With the upcoming Winter Olympics, the excitement in our house is building. Sliding on the ice has become “speed-skating”. Mini-hockey games in the basement have become full-out Olympic events. Sledding down our hill has become “bobsled.” We are so excited to cheer on Team Canada as they compete in Sochi. We’re also looking forward to learning about other countries, and cheering on ...
