This DIY Beach Christmas Ornament will bring back memories of your travels year after year. This year we spent a fair bit of time playing on some pretty amazing beaches! From Turks and Caicos in the Spring to Jamaica in the Fall, our family has been blessed with fond memories of snorkeling, boat rides, and building castles in the sand. To keep those memories alive and well all year long, the boys and I sat down this week to craft up some fun little Christmas tree ornaments that will … [Read more...]

Last week the boys got used to waking up each morning and searching to find Jingles in his new hiding spot! This week they were in for some more surprises when they found him around the house!

Christmas is just days away and everyone is looking forward to that delicious Turkey dinner! Gathering around the table with loved ones is one of my favourite parts about the holidays! There is something special about looking down the table and seeing family faces from infancy (we have a new baby in the family) to Grandparents (don't worry mom, I won't tell them your age!). Year after year, our family grows! While the turkey kind of steals the show, there is no reason for the … [Read more...]

My husband claims he is the one to take out the trash. And while this may be true, he does lug the garbage from the garage to the curb on our designated day, the garbage doesn't just magically appear in there!

Turns out, it doesn't have to be so smelly afterall! GLAD® Odour Guard® Bags with febreze™ Freshness are durable and … [Read more...]

Cooking an Asian stir fry is actually something I never tried my hand at until a couple of years ago. I'm not sure why, but they seemed to intimidate me when they are actually the easiest dish ever to create! Rules are literally tossed out the window with stir fries and instead of following a recipe, I now just grab whatever needs using up from the kitchen fridge.
