Growing up my brother was always reinventing himself. His style changed on the regular and my friends were never quite sure who they would find walking out of the bedroom down the hall. From punk to skater and even preppy, he kept my mom on her toes in the clothes department. My own boys are still small but it's clear that they are starting to develop their style and find themselves as they grow. My middle boy went all through grade one wanting to wear "fancy" clothes, which just meant khakis … [Read more...]

Why do all my kids grow a size at the same time? Does this happen to other families as well? Just when I thought I had this whole back-to-school thing handled, I realized that all the boys will be needing new shoes this year since they are all pretty much maxing out on the ones they have now. Truth be told though, I was definitely ready to toss their old shoes anyway. This will forever be known as the summer of the plantars warts and now that we FINALLY have those things beat (knocks … [Read more...]

Back to school was always an exciting time growing up. My mom would take my brother and I out to buy us new outfits, back packs, markers and notebooks in August to prep us for the months ahead. Naturally, I couldn't wait to show off my new threads on the first day, but September is notoriously warm as well and I had to decide if I was going to sweat all day in my fall digs or leave them for another day. I know I'm not the only one who had the same experience! Now that I'm an … [Read more...]

As Canadians, we get our fair share of bad weather so when summer rolls around and the temps are just right, we HAVE to get outside and enjoy it while it lasts! This past weekend, we loaded up some snacks, water and of course the boys and made our way to one of Ontarios many provincial parks for a day of hiking. The weather was perfect and we couldn't wait to hit the trails. Well, most of us anyway, it can be hard to get my oldest to anything active, especially on "lazy Sunday". He grumbled … [Read more...]

The days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer. This can only mean one thing – spring has sprung! After a long winter of being bundled up, I quickly realize how much my children have grown! Instead of purchasing all new clothes for them, hand-me-downs are a great cost-effective way to easily turn-over your little one’s wardrobes. As as a mom to three boys, I know this all too well. I would rather buy quality clothes that will stand the test of time and take care of them well … [Read more...]

"I'm sending you something in the mail, keep an eye out for it" This was a message from my bestie from Saskatchewan. I had no idea what she was sending but it wasn't entirely uncommon for us to send eachother a little something so I eagerly awaited my package. When it arrived, it felt like Christmas morning as I tore open the envelope, followed by squeals of delight! But this time the squeals weren't coming from the boys, they were coming from me!! Knowing me all too well, my BFF sent … [Read more...]
