My boys are absolute suckers for citrus so when they recently walked by me on the deck and saw that I had slices of lemon and lime in my glass they immediately wanted a taste of my … [Read more...]

We decided to kick off summer in the best way possible and had the cousins come and stay with us for 5 days. The boys came over the Canada Day long weekend and we had so many fun activities planned, but the weather forcast was a wee bit disappointing. We did manage to get in a lot of outdoor fun, but it was inbetween bouts of rain, on Canada Day alone it rained three times! So what do you do to keep 5 little boys occupied on a rainy day? First, you just send them outside to play anyway, because … [Read more...]

Pizza Pie Irons are our families favourite camping recipe! I've been camping my whole life and spent the majority of my school age summers hanging out in tent trailers and running around campgrounds with all the other kids. As a teenager and young adult, tent camping with friends was the highlight of the summer season. My husband was practically raised at the family campground they spent each summer at so each of us had our own ideas of the best camping food when we … [Read more...]

It's the first day of soccer practice and there's a fair amount of butterflies in the tummy. We eat an early dinner, scurry around the house looking for shin pads and soccer socks and rush out the door. My son chatters on and on during the drive to the field wondering who will be on his team this year. He's not the only one with a bit of first day nerves, as a soccer mom, I'm a bit excited and anxious myself to see who our new "soccer family" is going to be for the … [Read more...]
