I love a good peanut butter cookie, it reminds me of being a kid! It's such a classic cookie with the traditional criss cross pattern and soft baked goodness, made with simple ingredients. But times change and new products find their way onto store shelves, like chocolate peanut butter! As if peanut butter couldn't get any better! It's the best thing since Nutella (which would probably work just as good in this recipe!). I decided to bake a favourite peanut cookie recipe with the Reese's … [Read more...]

When my due date got closer and closer the one thing that really stressed me out was which car seat I should buy. I remember searching the net reading reviews after review then heading into the stores to actually test out and see the seats in person. In my eyes the car seat is one of the most important purchases I was going to make and I wanted to make sure it was the best possible seat I could find. It is crazy to see how things have changed in the last 8 years. I was able to review the … [Read more...]

I spent the afternoon showering, doing my hair and applying makeup - I was getting ready for a much anticipated night out. On my way out the door I give my husband a kiss. "Be good for Daddy boys" I tell the kids, say goodbye, and head into the city. My date tonight is a "mom date" with my good friend Kerrie. I've had more dates with Kerrie in the last year than I've probably had with my husband in the last 8, yes, since we had kids. She's a fellow boymom, knows all the best … [Read more...]

As I was boiling a pot of coconut milk and cinnamon on the stove yesterday, my son wandered into the room with his nose in the air, taking in deep breathes. "It smells like Jamaica, Mom" was his response, and he wasn't far off. The warm, creamy, spicy coconut concoction brought back memories of our recent family vacation to the tropics and was hard to resist. But Coconuts are more than just a fun treat on the beach; they are one of nature's true superfoods! Referred to as the planet's most … [Read more...]
