Today, the beautiful Marnie (Queen of the Marniverse) graciously agreed to share her latest project with us – a cash walled for the Envelope System of budgeting! I saw this in person, and it’s an amazing project! I am super excited to have the opportunity to guest post on You Pinspire Me. I am even more excited because of what ... Read More »
Thank you to Jenn and Marya for invitng me to do a guest post. My kids love the movies Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2. Of course, their favourite characters are the Minions. What is not to love about those goofy yellow characters? My son, E, recently turned 6 so a Minion birthday cake was a perfect fit for him. ... Read More »

Over (Canadian) Thanksgiving, our whole family (well, except for the 2 month old infant, thankfully!) caught the stomach flu – or gastroenteritis. Blech. The only thing worse than spending the day throwing up (and other things) is having to watch your almost 2-year old get sick all over himself – it’s such a traumatic and scary event for the little ...

MR – I learned how to crochet when I was young, and did a fair bit in university. Even after we were first married, I did a bit, but as the kids came, I did less and less. That didn’t stop me from pinning all these cute projects, like some cute crochet Mary Jane slippers. So last week I ... Read More »
