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 »
We have had such a great Christmas vacation so far! Even though there is no snow, we have done so many fun family activities! Potluck get togethers, card games, board games, special dinners, and Christmas books. Another fun part of our celebrations has been doing family movie nights. We often have a finger food-type supper that we can eat easily ... Read More »
If you read my post a week ago about the Rubbermaid easy-find lids, you were one of the lucky few to have a peek into my container cupboard. It was pretty bad. And thanks to the easy find lids, it is getting so much better (head over here to read more). So my next quest is to simplify school lunch ... 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 »
The first apartment that we lived in had mice. We took out the garbage on a regular basis, we kept the green bin clean, we cleaned the stove top daily, we washed the dishes every night, we kept food in airtight containers, but still, the mice came. I chalk it up mostly to the fact that the house was incredibly ... Read More »

I’ve always been obsessed with Christmas Music. Before the days of MP3s or even CDs, I’d haul our cassette tape player into my room at night and fall asleep to the sounds of Christmas with the Canadian Brass (and wake up with the whirrrrrring CLUNK as the tape ran out). When I bought my own CD player, one of my favourite albums ... 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 »
We are coming to that time of year again – time to hit the malls in search of that perfect gift. And while I, myself, have never really been bothered by all the hustle and bustle of Christmas shopping, there are many who are. But your experience could be greatly improved with just a few simple services. Imagine this. You ... Read More »
