If you are anything like me you start out summer holidays with good intentions on keeping the kids active in reading and writing. The plan was to continue their work with spelling and printing and other topics and we did pretty good the first week, but then things slowly started to slip in the summer sun. Summer is just too darn short and inviting to be writing out spelling lists and the rest of the summer was spent relaxing on the beach, jumping on the trampoline and scoring goals on the soccer … [Read more...]

Have you heard of the Grossery Gang yet? This is a new toy brand for us, but when I showed my own gang the toys online they were eager to check them out. "sooooo.....these are like Shopkins for boys!" my oldest exclaimed. Well, yes, and maybe no. I'm sure there are girls out there who aren't completely grossed out by Barf Bagels and Snot and Pepper but these toys are basically the love child of Shopkins and Trash Packs. Check out our unboxing and toy review video! For first … [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...]

Summer for many Canadian families means hitting the open road and ours is no different. While we might book something more exotic in the winter months, the heat of an Ontario summer is a great time for a roadtrip getaway right here in our home province. The thing is, travelling with kids can be a tad bit messy. Kandoo Flushable Wipes are a summer travel essential. They clean up to 30 per cent better than regular toilet paper and are perfect for little hands. With no rolling or ripping … [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...]

Summers are all about exploring the great outdoors for our family. We love to travel, go for hikes and especially a good beach day! As a mom, I do find it tricky to feed the kids healthy choices on the go. They have to be portable, won't spoil, and preferably crumb free, but that's asking for a lot. The good news is Slammers by Kids Gourmet can deliver my entire wish list! Slammers are organic snacks packed with healthy fruits, … [Read more...]
