Okay okay, maybe it wasn't a red carpet moment but last weekend I went out on a date night with my husband. So what's the big deal?

So with the Uncles staying in for a pizza party with the brother trio, we got dressed up and headed out for a romantic dinner, on Valentine's weekend no less! I don't think we've ever gone out for Valentine's Day, … [Read more...]

It’s become the norm that when someone asks how you’re doing or how you’ve been the honest answer is always “busy.” These days, it seems as though you’re expected to be in five places at once and juggle the weight of the world – and there just simply aren’t enough hours in a day. As 2016 is a leap year, I challenge you all: take advantage of the extra day! Try something you’ve never done before as a family and enjoy your time together by embracing the great Canadian Winter with these … [Read more...]

Snuggled on the couch with the boys, we catch our first glimpse of the Play-Doh Town sets from Hasbro during a commercial break. The boys immediately start saying "I want that" like they do everytime I cool new toy pops up on screen, but then the laughter ensues, 'did that dog just poop'?. He sure did, the puppy in the Play-Doh Town Firehouse Playset has a surprise accident right in front of the firehouse and my boys go crazy with laughter!

So apparently February is the new spring? Yesterday was over 10 degrees and sunny outside so our backyard is a swamp with melting snow. I've given the puppy a bath about 5 times so far in the last 24 hours, shoot me! I can't handle spring, but I know winter will be back in a couple days and I'll be shivering in the ice and snow once again. That's just life in Canada right Canucks? We were raised to complain about the weather! lol One thing that makes my mind race right past spring and … [Read more...]
