The aquarium is one of my favourite parts of the zoo. At home I can kill a beta fish in two days flat, so I try to soak up as much of that calming sea life atmosphere at the glowing fish tanks as possible. Last weekend at The Toronto Zoo, my oldest and I were checking out the seahorses when I mentioned that these were the pregnant seahorses we were looking at. "oohhhh...." he said amazed. "These are the Daddy seahorses!" Thinking he must not understand the word pregnant, I … [Read more...]

Last weekend, I attended the BConnected Social Media Conference for Mom and Dad Bloggers, it was my fifth social media conference, so a newbie I am not. It was however the first small scale conference I attended since it was BConnected's inaugural year and the location was in Ottawa, and not the popular GTA, I definitely saw and felt some noticeable differences! They say bigger is better and BConnected definitely taught me, that this is not the case! The conference had so much to offer! Photo … [Read more...]

In We'll Always Have Paris, Jennifer recounts the tales of travelling all over Europe with her young daughter, as well, shares a look back to her own childhood years when her father passed away all too soon. Feeling like time was closing in on her, she decided to spend her daughters adolescence making memories that would … [Read more...]

Tuna casserole is a bit of a North American classic comfort food where every family has their own unique take on it! Not my family though, my mom hasn't made a tuna noodle casserole in her life, giving to the fact that neither of my parents even eat tuna (she did try to torture us with salmon loaf though, bleh!) So this dish was one I didn't try until adulthood but quickly found my favourite way of making it! This Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole recipe is an awesome, cheesy version … [Read more...]
