I feel like a tween again. Seriously. Remember going to a movie in the theatre (which was a super special treat because it was a once-every-two-years experience? (Shush, now, you Millennials.) And how you saved the Famous magazine for a month after because it featured an interview with the actors? And how you gushed about the storyline and how cute the ... Read More »
Even though March Break is halfway over, there’s still time to do something new. Time to learn a new hobby with your older kids! Something that will tear their eyes away from their screens for a few hours and leave them with a sense of accomplishment. We’re over at Save.ca writing about new hobbies to learn over spring break, or ... Read More »
Sarnia is a frequent destination for our family, since it’s where my husband grew up and his mom still lives there. It is no longer the case that morning AND afternoon naps rule our lives, so we try to get out & about with the kids to encourage active living. The weather today was absolutely gorgeous, but at 10am, it was still ... Read More »
I am a lover of winter. The snow globe outside my windows. The tobogganing at dusk. The quiet in the streets. The skating on the bay. I love capturing those perfect days when the temperature is around 0C, flakes are floating gently in the skies, and the snow on the ground is just perfect for molding into bricks, bricks into ...

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 »
Our boys have really been into science stuff lately. Will it sink or float? How long will the cup of snow take to melt? If I bang on the end of this stick, will the HotWheel go flying across the room? (The answer is yes, and it might break something too!). We also learned the joys of vinegar and baking ... Read More »
I’ve always been a fan of British tv programming. Perhaps I should say that I’ve always been a fan of all things Britain. I love British literature (serious and Chick Lit), I love the landscape, I love the history and the buildings – the history in the buildings. I love the way that British people speak. tangent: when I was studying in England, ... Read More »
I admit it: I LOVE McD’s. Those shoestring fries. The McDouble with McChicken Sauce. *drool* We don’t go there often – we don’t go anywhere often…. but sometimes, you just need to take a break from life. That’s why I’m excited to share some big news: I know what I’m ordering next time! McDonald’s Canada Introduces the Next Legend The Big ... 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 »
