Last November, I took a lovely road trip with my fellow Wine & Cheesy Book Club ladies to Ithaca, New York, the main purpose of which was to spend some quality fun time with a former co-worker. One of my goals during said trip was to acquire a newly launched product only available in the states: Reese chocolate peanut butter ... Read More »
I don’t know about you, but when I was a tween (which, by the way, wasn’t a thing when I was growing up!), I had my utopian house blue prints down to a T. Literally. Inspired by my best friend Donna, I bought a pad of graph paper and started figure out room layout, door & window placement, & contemplated the ... Read More »
In just two weeks, we will be saying goodbye to summer. An end to laid-back, relaxed days, and a return to routines and schedules. It can be a little nerve-wracking for everyone involved. Our 5-year old is now in Senior Kindergarten without his big brother in class with him – big changes. The 6-year old is in Grade 1 – ... Read More »

I loved my wall of people that I love. I spent many hours sitting on the couch staring at the wall with a cup of hot ... Read More »
About halfway through, I stopped seeing the wires. I and 3 of my kids just got back from seeing the opening performance of Marvel Universe Live in Hamilton, and WOW- what a night! You’ve got to hand it to Marvel, they know their audience- I’d say that the adults (skewing towards dads, but plenty of moms in there too) ... Read More »
Short and sweet post today! Our boys are good readers, but don’t LOVE it like I did when I was younger. They don’t tend to sit with a book and read on their own, so I wanted to encourage as much of that as possible this summer. To help with that, we stopped off at the library this morning and ...

I grew up reading the Magic School Bus books whenever I could get my hands on them – which wasn’t very often, since they were some of the more popular books in the school library. I’ve always been fascinated by the possibility of the extra-ordinary fantasy world creeping into our ‘plain old boring’ world. I desperately wanted Miss Frizzle for ... Read More »
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 »
