The thing about boys is they don't want, need or like fancy stuff. Girl love pretty things, sparkly-dress up things and no girl at any age can resist a cute shoe! But boys, boys are a whole other story. Boys are hard on their shoes and when you want to dress them up a little for a restaurant, wedding, or special event, their shoes never match their nice duds! This is one of the many reason I find it handy to have a pair of TOMS around. TOMS can be easily dressed up or down and I don't have to go … [Read more...]

It was a long hard Winter here in Ontario and we spent most of that time hiding under blankets with our favourite comfort foods. When it finally came time to peel off some of those Winter layers, neither my husband or I were very happy with what was underneath, we had put a on more cold weather pounds than we wanted to admit. We really needed to get more active and start eating right! I don't know about you, but the best part of Summer for us can be cool treats like ice cream and … [Read more...]

My big guy turned 8 recently and since his party was just a few days after our return from Turks and Caicos Islands, I wanted to keep things as simple as possible.

For his birthday we decided it would just be a lot easier to take a couple of boys to Chuck E Cheeses with us than try to plan anything here at home. It was a win-win all around, the boys were ecstatic … [Read more...]

On our recent trip to Turks and Caicos with Beaches Resorts, my son was able to experience so many things he's never been able to see and do before, it was an amazing one on one trip where I really got to see him learn and grow. Being outside of the craziness of day to day life at home, it was a time for us to just focus on each other and one thing I already knew, but really hit home for me on that trip was - this is a REALLY great kid! He impressed me at every turn and I was blown away by his … [Read more...]
