What came first, the chicken or the egg? or in this case it goes more like this - What inspired my kids more? Monsters University movie or the Monsters U themed Kinder egg? It's hard to say really, but we took that inspiration and turned one of our recent adventures into a Monster of a Mission! Monster Rocks A twist on the classic pet rock, we Monster-ized the idea into Pet Monster Rocks! Stopping in to our favourite little watering hole with some frozen lemonade and a mission to … [Read more...]

A couple of years ago the hubs spotted orzo at the grocery store and bought it on a whim to try out, he's crazy like that.

A couple of our favourites are these Double-Nut Cookies and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes! It's always fun to try new recipes though, so I enlisted the help of … [Read more...]

In fact, I tend to yawn just at the word museum! lol But when we are off traveling we like to take in what the destination holds, it's always fun to explore new cities and their treasures! In … [Read more...]

It's true right? there is something so peaceful and relaxing about the beach even with waves pounding the shore! Our family of beach bums spent 4 days at the beach in Florida this Spring and we've been itching to get back every day since.

With a family of five we bring a lot of gear with us to the beach. We fill our wagon … [Read more...]
