They say life is better at the beach, and I couldn't agree more. With Canadian temperatures dropping as we gear up for winter, I would much rather be waking up with sand between my toes than frost! Did you know that The Bahamas are just a three hour non-stop flight away from Toronto? So, I could leave my boots at home and in just a few hours be walking barefoot on one of the world's best white (or pink!) sand beaches. This required some deeper investigation and I've come up with my Bahama … [Read more...]

The boys each take swimming lessons and a gym activity, this round is floor hockey, so we can be at the Y for quite a few hours and almost always over lunch time. During days like these, I find it's easier to pack lots of snacks over trying to worry about an actual meal. Last week, I … [Read more...]

My boys are suckers for stereotypes. Go ahead, ask them what police officers do? Fight bad guys? Nope, they'll answer 'eat donuts and coffee'. Terrible right?

After a full day of running errands, I arrived at my last store with a full bladder and dashed into the ladies room before tackling the biggest shop of the day. When I went to lock my stall, I noticed this little gem of graffiti right beside the handle huh, wow. Well the day wasn't even going that badly, but thanks for the pee break pep talk stranger!
