It's true right? there is something so peaceful and relaxing about the beach even with waves pounding the shore! Our family of beach bums spent 4 days at the beach in Florida this Spring and we've been itching to get back every day since. Now that Summer weather is FINALLY upon us here in Ontario, we have stolen away to beach here on our home soil, if only we lived closer, we would be there every weekend! With a family of five we bring a lot of gear with us to the beach. We fill our wagon … [Read more...]

But boys are a whole other breed, my oldest loved books when he was very young, but around age 5 I could already see it fading and by age 6, he was giving … [Read more...]

We are a Pampers family through and through. When my oldest son was a newborn, we picked out a our first pack of those soft cuddly pampers swaddlers and never looked back. Okay, that's not entirely true. At one point, we had all three kids in diapers. Now, that was an expensive time and we did experiment with other brands of a lower cost. It didn't work out. The small amount of savings we did get, did not outweigh the blow outs, broken tabs and wet mornings we were seeing by the switch. We were … [Read more...]

Last week I shared with you one of my dream beach destinations, the whimsical Cape Cod! And while Massachusetts is The Bay State, and offers a variety of seafood delights from their coasts and inland waterways, that's not food my family enjoys.
