My husband is totally fine with a run of the mill boxed cake mix, but I'm far snobbier.....err...more sophisticated than that! I love cake, but it has to be something special … [Read more...]

Okay, no, it wasn't easy, it never is, but as adults we made the commitment to do something and stuck with it, the kids on the other hand were going to be a different story. My video game loving boys are much happier curled up in the basement and they spent much of their winter hibernating that way, but … [Read more...]

Getting your kids involved in exercise can be a thankless task especially if they’re more prone to spending their spare time online, playing video games or watching films.
