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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
