We have a family of all boys, yes, the whole family! With my own three sons and my three nephews we have a whopping 6 boys in the family and 5 of them are 7 years or younger! It makes for super fun family gatherings that's for sure, my boys love their twin cousins! Shopping for boys the same ages as my kids can be a little tricky though, it can be hard to pick out really fun gifts that they want and know they can't have.

Until you actually have to get something from the bag. You have to … [Read more...]

My heart sunk last week when I heard that the Bowmanville Zoo had lost a long standing member of their zoo family.
