I lied a teensy tiny bit in yesterday’s post when I said that all of my TV consumption takes place via Netflix these days. I make one exception and one only: MasterChef. We no longer have an antenna on our house (and haven’t had cable or satellite since the 2012 Winter Olympics), so I’m now relegated to seeking it out online after broadcast or ... Read More »
I am constantly trying to make better choices in my lifestyle – whether it is drinking more water, or being more active. I find that anything that challenges me, really helps me meet my goals. That’s why I wanted to get a Fitbit last summer – to track my steps, and encourage me to increase my physical activity level. About ... Read More »
I admit, I watch a lot of TV. Well, I don’t actually watch a lot of TV: a huge amount of the time, I just listen to it as I’m cleaning up the kitchen, hanging up laundry, making dinner. I put Netflix on my phone and connect to our Bose Mini Soundlink Bluetooth speaker and go about my business, listening to my ... Read More »
So apparently having four kids is a “big family,” according to most of society. And the fact that they are all boys – wow, I must really have my hands full! 🙂 I don’t mind all the comments. A big family is what I grew up with, and I love it. It is busy, noisy, messy, and definitely never boring. Our ... Read More »
The Maple Leaf Monster Jam is quickly becoming my 4 year old son’s new favourite tradition. Two years in a row is enough to make a tradition, isn’t it? As you know, our lives have been pretty topsy-turvy for the last month as we got the house read for listing. The kids were out of the house for two full ... 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 »
Our boys are not quite old enough for Science Fair. Our oldest will be doing it next year at his school, and he can’t wait! As parents, however, we’re not as excited, since a lot of the work gets done at home…and that means homework for Mom & Dad! All our boys have always been fascinated by science, and ... Read More »
As a Canadian, I grew up knowing that one of the best toppings for French Fries was cheese and gravy – that’s right, Poutine! While we didn’t have it often, it was such a treat any time I did eat it. Those who are not familiar with poutine are missing out: warm, cheesy, melt-y, messy, and delicious! There are all ... Read More »
