With three boys all in activities we are on the go quite a bit.

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...]

Knowing that this one must be red, white and blue, we turned to our Jello Swirl ice cream recipe we used for Canada Day and altered it to use a berry blue and raspberry combo! Perfect! Not only is this a really fun superhero treat, the colours lend itself to a nice … [Read more...]
