I’ve always been pretty much a city girl. I grew up in town, and loved having neighbours and being able to walk to stores and parks and even to school. So when we recently moved our four boys to a renovated farmhouse in the country, it was a bit of a shock to me! We have only one neighbour. We ... Read More »
Two of my favourite parts about Christmas have to be: baking delicious treats, and watching amazing Christmas movies! I’m so happy that Netflix has so many great Christmas titles this year for family movie watching! There’s nothing better than pulling a batch of freshly-baked cookies out of the oven and settling down with some hot chocolate for a Christmas movie! ... 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 »

Last year, I dipped ripple chips in chocolate and sprinkled delicious things on them. That was tasty, but kinda time consuming, dipping each chip individually – with two littles running around, who has time for that kind of nonsense? I wanted to try something a little easier this year – but still combining the chocolate & the chips, because chocolate ... 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 »
For as long as I can remember, the first weekend in December has been the time that our family puts up the Christmas tree. It could be because of the Sinterklaas traditions that we had, or it just could be that that’s when the Christmas Trees arrived in town and my parents were firm believers in getting fresh trees. Whatever ... Read More »
