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...]

The weather has been so unpredictable this spring, we've had scorching hot days and super cold temps all in the same week. One thing that is very predictable though is grilling for dinner! It's so quick and easy to fire up the grill and make a great meal and even though we haven't been able to eat outside much yet this year, we are definitely giving the barbecue a good use! To mix things up a bit in the burger department, we gave our regular mayo a little kick this week with 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...]

I remember the good old days when my boys were young and they spent hours playing outside. Whether it was digging in the sandbox or riding their trikes up and down the street, they never wanted to come inside and sometimes even cried when they needed to. Fast forward to today and the boys would much rather hide out in the basement with their favourite video games and cry when we force them outside, especially if the weather isn't absolutely perfect. You just can't win! lol Something we … [Read more...]

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I mess this up on a fairly regular basis (re: every day). I'm just not a morning person and usually don't feel like eating, plus on school days I spend so much time getting the kids fed and lunches packed, I don't want to head back into the kitchen once they are out the door. I do make up for it at lunch though and my go-to favourite lunch...brunch? is EGGS! On busy days a quick scrambled eggs, with some salsa and cottage cheese … [Read more...]
