What is it that happens to dudes when they become dads? One minute, they’ve got a completely normal sense of humour, and the next, it’s groaners all around. Kid: Daddy, I’m thirsty! Dad: Hi Thirsty, I’m Dad! Nice to meet you! ******* Kid: Daddy, wait, I’ve got something in my shoe! Dad: I’m pretty sure that’s your foot, son! “Why don’t crabs give to ... Read More »
You can not know how thrilled I am that the #MonsterJam trucks are on their way back to Hamilton for another show. Didn’t peg me as a Monster Jam fan? I’m not. I’m really not. However, the newly minted 5 year old in our house very much IS, and he’s been talking about this year’s Monster Jam show since last April. I’m just ... Read More »
Hey friends! Happy March Break! If you log in to Facebook today, your news feed might just look a little like mine – everyone else seems to be arriving in sunny Florida for a week of warmth & relaxation. I admit, I’m a wee bit jealous of them, but it’s not a trip that we can make this year. Maybe ... Read More »
Tomorrow is the last day of school before March Break. How did that happen already?!

Have you been in a Hallmark store lately? Anneke and I stopped by one last week, and I have to say, they pretty much got ALL of their Christmas stuff right this year. I kind of want it all. The folks from Hallmark asked if we’d be interested in featuring any of their things in our holiday gift guide, but ... 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 »

Yeah, that’s right: all of your fave Marvel Super Heroes will be landing in the First Ontario Centre on Thursday, August 6 – Spider-Man, The Avengers, Iron Man, Hulk, and more!

Last year, H-Man went to his first ever Monster Truck event here in Hamilton, and we’ve been hearing tales about it weekly ever since. As though he knows that Monster Jam is returning to town this month, the frequency of the Monster Truck conversation is increasing daily. The questions, the observations, the totally amazing Monster Truck facts! He doesn’t know ... Read More »
The very first album that I ever owned was The Lion King soundtrack. My brother bought it for me for Christmas when I was in grade 5. It was a cassette tape. I listened to it until I could sing every sing word of every single song. This would be about the equivalent of a child today watching the movie ... Read More »
This past summer, we had the chance to take a Honda Pilot on vacation to a cottage in Michigan. It’s (almost) always exciting to try out a new vehicle, but the Pilot was an particularly exciting vehicle for us. We’re not so much the folks that only take the ‘bare essentials’ with us when heading out on vacation, so that always ... Read More »
