If you've visited Mom vs. the Boys for longer than a minute you will already know that I am a bit of a shutterbug! I love snapping pics of the boys and my blog is the perfect place to showcase them! So it's no surprise that I am a HUGE fan of photo holiday cards! I actually get a little disappointed when the cards start rolling in and photos are not included. Who doesn't want to see those adorable cherub faces and ohhh and awww over how much the kiddos have grown? We've even received some clever … [Read more...]

I kind of refer to myself as 'the Queen of Locking her Keys in the Car' and it's not without warrant. I have embarrassingly done this way more times than I would like to admit and it always seems to happen at the very worst times. For instance, the time my brother who spent 3 months in the hospital after a car accident was ready to come home and I was honoured to be the one to pick him up and return him safely to the comforts of home.

Who else remembers watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles growing up?? I sure do! And they are back just in time for my boys to fall in love with them too! Funny Story- I used to babysit this adorable little girl and enjoyed testing her on animal sounds, 'what does a cow say?'. Her answers were so cute and she was rarely stumped, including when I threw a curve ball at her like 'what does a turtle say?' She gave it a thought, only for second, when she responded with 'cowabunga dude'! lol I … [Read more...]

Recently we redecorated our ensuite bathroom, which inspired us to get our all of our bathrooms a little more user friendly as well. Here are a few ways we used our space to be more functional. Everything Has a Place The boys were just tossing their toothbrushes into a drawer in their bathroom, which caused for a lot of toothbrush sharing as they would just pull one out and use it at random.
