Our family hairstylist has been unavailable for one reason or another lately and just before the holidays we found ourselves stuck with a couple shaggy haired kids and no where to take them. I have wielded scissors at my boys lovely locks before, but I'm the first to admit I haven't a clue as to what I am doing, and was not going to risk it right before all the holiday photos that were about to be snapped. We ended up in the city one afternoon for a movie and pulled into the First Choice … [Read more...]

The month of December can wreak havoc on household finances, from over spending on gifts, to high grocery bills and taking in all kinds of festivities that we hadn't plan for, it's easy to get carried away! Did we need those killer new heels? Possibly not, but they matched the New Years Eve party dress perfectly! lol By the time those credit card bills start rolling in come January, we are already feeling the buyers remorse. That's okay, Febuary is a whole new month to get back on track and … [Read more...]

Simple Smarties Valentine Treat Bag Toppers for a Class Valentines Day Party! Earlier this week, I showed you our LEGO Valentine's that I'm pretty proud of, but with two boys in the same class this year, I didn't want them to have to hand out identical Valentine's during their class Valentine's Day party. With three boys in two classes, I had it in my head that we only needed one set for each class, and it actually didn't even occur to me that we actually needed a whole … [Read more...]

DIY LEGO VALENTINE TREAT BAG TOPPERS I have all three boys in school this year, so I wanted to create a simple Valentine that the boys could give out to their class that wouldn't take a lot of time, but would still be a lot of fun! My boys are all LEGO fanatics and we often get these little LEGO block candies for fun treats. I've used them for birthday cupcakes and treat bags before and thought they would be a great to include in a little Valentine for the boys to pass … [Read more...]

Choosing the right stroller is serious business and just as important as picking the right vehicle. You'll be looking the highest quality you can afford where function reigns but style and design are not sacrificed. This Winter has been brutal in Canada from coast to coast and here in Ontario, during the weeks after the snow and ice that hit, we saw more than one stroller ditched in parking lots and sidewalks. They obviously couldn't cut it. If you're looking for a sturdy beast with all the … [Read more...]
