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 »
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 »

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 »

Those who are not familiar with poutine are missing out: warm, cheesy, melt-y, messy, and delicious! There are all ... Read More »
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 »

Something that will tear their eyes away from their screens for a few hours and leave them with a sense of accomplishment.

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 ...
