I know more than a few people with a DSLR on the top of their wish list this holiday and I really can't blame them. A good camera is one of the few things I can't live without! It's by far more important to me than even a smart phone! *gasp!* There's nothing that can preserve a memory like an amazing photo and I'm sorry folks, but those fuzzy, blurry pictures you take with your phone camera simply won't do! PUT DOWN THE PHONES PEOPLE!! lol Ask Santa for a decent camera and get … [Read more...]

My boys love their breakfast foods, even for my picky eaters, it's the one meal they can all agree on and we've even been known to have breakfast for dinner from time to time. And I know we aren't alone! A recent study of Canadian families that eat brunch, found that 80% of those polled would consider a festive brunch instead of the standard dinner this holiday season. It's actually something we've done in past years over the holidays ourselves. A brunch is the perfect time for young families to … [Read more...]
