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 »
Sunday evenings at 6pm in our house growing up meant the only meal of the week that we’d eat in front of the TV – all thanks to The Wonderful World of Disney. Bedknobs & Broomsticks, The Parent Trap, and Davy Crockett were all great, but our favourites were always episodes / movies when Mickey & the ‘gang’ would show up. ... Read More »

Disclaimer: I was provided with a KitchenAid Produce Preserver & Gift Card for Produce in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts & opinions are my own. According to the David Suzuki Foundation, one in four produce items in the average Canadian household gets thrown in the garbage. That’s crazy! That’s like throwing out $600 every year! TWENTY FIVE PERCENT of produce ... Read More »
I love staying at home with my kids. I love going to the park, meeting friends for playdates, and doing things like apple picking on beautiful fall days. It beats the heck out of sitting in a windowless office pushing paper while knowing that the weather is just perfect for seizing the day outside. In order to make ends meet, I take ... Read More »

We may even have another storm big enough to cancel school. But you know what? The days march forward. The calendar does not lie. We’re headed in the direction of warm ... Read More »
I fully admit it: I’m a Target Addict. At first glance, there’s not a lot that sets them apart from their forerunner (Zellers). It’s a brightly lit store, the brand colours are pretty much the same, and there usually aren’t a lot of shoppers around. However. There are marked differences: there are (helpful) staff everywhere; the merchandise is bright, stylish, and well priced, ... Read More »
Birthdays are always a pretty special thing to celebrate – something that becomes radically more apparent when little ones come into your life – whether they’re your own, your grandchildren, nieces & nephews…- it’s pretty hard not to get caught up in the excitement. To be honest, we didn’t go all out for 1st birthdays in our house – each ... Read More »
