Fuel the Kids with Slammers
Summers are all about exploring the great outdoors for our family. We love to travel, go for hikes and especially a good beach day!

Summer is the perfect season to try Canadian turkey on the grill. It's a light … [Read more...]
Soccer Cupcakes
Easy soccer cupcakes for sports fans! My boys birthdays fall in line with the start of soccer season so it's pretty awesome that it also happens to be their favourite sport to play.
