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...]

When I was growing up my best friend lived right across the street from me and her mom always kept a bowl of Werther's Originals in her formal livingroom for guests. When we were feeling particularily daring, we would challenge eachother to get in and get out, sight unseen, with a coveted gold foil wrapper. This was no easy task, but the reward was always worth it. Now that I'm a mom myself, I know better than to leave candy out in plain sight! Kids will go to any length to satisfy their … [Read more...]

It’s become the norm that when someone asks how you’re doing or how you’ve been the honest answer is always “busy.” These days, it seems as though you’re expected to be in five places at once and juggle the weight of the world – and there just simply aren’t enough hours in a day. As 2016 is a leap year, I challenge you all: take advantage of the extra day! Try something you’ve never done before as a family and enjoy your time together by embracing the great Canadian Winter with these … [Read more...]

So apparently February is the new spring? Yesterday was over 10 degrees and sunny outside so our backyard is a swamp with melting snow. I've given the puppy a bath about 5 times so far in the last 24 hours, shoot me! I can't handle spring, but I know winter will be back in a couple days and I'll be shivering in the ice and snow once again. That's just life in Canada right Canucks? We were raised to complain about the weather! lol One thing that makes my mind race right past spring and … [Read more...]

In the weeks leading up to the holidays I found myself running in all directions, there was so much to get done and it felt like it all fell on my shoulders. Sure enough, just as the kids were finishing their last day of school and my husband was coming home from his last day of the year, I got sick. Spending my first week of vacation curled up in bed was not how I had envisioned my holidays, but it taught me that I need to make time for me. If I don't take care of myself, I won't be able to … [Read more...]
