The weather has been so unpredictable this spring, we've had scorching hot days and super cold temps all in the same week. One thing that is very predictable though is grilling for dinner! It's so quick and easy to fire up the grill and make a great meal and even though we haven't been able to eat outside much yet this year, we are definitely giving the barbecue a good use! To mix things up a bit in the burger department, we gave our regular mayo a little kick this week with the … [Read more...]

I've known my whole life that I wanted to be a mom, so when I finally married my husband we spent some time moving into our new house and travelling and then I couldn't wait to start our family. Unfortunately, I was having some trouble with my thyroid and my specialist told me with the medication I needed to be on, I wasn't going to be able to start our family for possibly a year. I was devastated! We started our family anyway, by adopting our furbaby, a gorgeous chocolate lab named … [Read more...]
Keeping your kids active as a family

I remember the good old days when my boys were young and they spent hours playing outside. Whether it was digging in the sandbox or riding their trikes up and down the street, they never wanted to come inside and sometimes even cried when they needed to. Fast forward to today and the boys would much rather hide out in the basement with their favourite video games and cry when we force them outside, especially if the weather isn't absolutely perfect. You just can't win! lol Something we … [Read more...]

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I mess this up on a fairly regular basis (re: every day). I'm just not a morning person and usually don't feel like eating, plus on school days I spend so much time getting the kids fed and lunches packed, I don't want to head back into the kitchen once they are out the door. I do make up for it at lunch though and my go-to favourite lunch...brunch? is EGGS! On busy days a quick scrambled eggs, with some salsa and cottage cheese … [Read more...]

Discover Prince Edward Island

The summer before we started our family, my husband and I planned a fabulous two week road trip to the East Coast of Canada. It was such a great way to connect as a couple before we started our busy life as parents. Visiting Prince Edward Island was a top priority, I couldn't wait to set my eyes on Canada's smallest (and possibly prettiest) province and squish my feet in the sand! Planning out a two week road trip is no small task, we would be moving from location to location … [Read more...]
