Last week the boys got used to waking up each morning and searching to find Jingles in his new hiding spot! This week they were in for some more surprises when they found him around the house! It’s almost time for Jingles to return to Santa at the North Pole but before he makes his final journey I wanted to share with you some of the Jingles sightings we saw this past week!

Christmas is just days away and everyone is looking forward to that delicious Turkey dinner! Gathering around the table with loved ones is one of my favourite parts about the holidays! There is something special about looking down the table and seeing family faces from infancy (we have a new baby in the family) to Grandparents (don't worry mom, I won't tell them your age!). Year after year, our family grows! While the turkey kind of steals the show, there is no reason for the … [Read more...]

Cooking an Asian stir fry is actually something I never tried my hand at until a couple of years ago. I'm not sure why, but they seemed to intimidate me when they are actually the easiest dish ever to create!
