When I was 18, I took my first over seas trip to Australia. It wasn't just any holiday though, it was an exchange program with students from all of the world and I was soooo incredibly proud to be representing our True North Strong & Free!! I remember carefully packing my red and white Canadian t-shirt for the trip, excited at the opportunity to show off my country as much as possible. I ended up wearing it so much that you can spot it in almost all of my post trip photos, that shirt got a … [Read more...]

Yesterday my youngest was home sick from school. It's not often I only have one child home in the house with me and after he showed up at my side a few times looking sad and asking "how much longer until the brothers come home?", I was reminded that my son and his brothers are better together. Having all boys so close in age means they always have their best friends to play with; a video game challenger, a worthy wrestling opponent and someone to giggle with in the … [Read more...]

I've known my whole life that I wanted to be a mom, so when I finally married my husband we spent some time moving into our new house and travelling and then I couldn't wait to start our family. Unfortunately, I was having some trouble with my thyroid and my specialist told me with the medication I needed to be on, I wasn't going to be able to start our family for possibly a year. I was devastated! We started our family anyway, by adopting our furbaby, a gorgeous chocolate lab named … [Read more...]

Just as you switch out your wardrobe for the new season, your beauty regime also needs a little pick-me-up to help celebrate the arrival of warm weather. My favourite go-to shopping outlet has always been Shoppers Drug Mart, I used to spend most of my lunch breaks cruising the aisles of my local store when I worked in the city. So many pretty shades of eyeshadows and nail polish to ponder, not to mention the latest hair products! The only downside is I spent a good chunk of my paycheck there … [Read more...]

Last month my son and I had a little fun in the kitchen making our own version of the no bake Kraft Peanut Butter Snack Bites. Because we are big chocoholics in this house we decided to dress ours up using Kraft Smooth Peanut Butter and a few layers of chocolate! We called them Triple Chocolate Peanut Butter Snack Bites and they were a big hit both at our house and online! Stumble Upon fans gave it a stumble over a thousand times so far and it's been pinned over … [Read more...]

Mother Nature shone in all her glory this past weekend with surprisingly high temps for Mother's Day! We couldn't have asked for better weather and it was such a delight! That beautiful sun is usually reserved for Father's Day and it never seems fair, but not this year! This year my boys played in the water sprinkler and mama relaxed in the hammock and we ate dinner out on the back deck! We even had the most fitting dessert - Ice Cream Cake!!!! Baskin Robbins makes custom cakes with your … [Read more...]
