Two days after Halloween we left for a family vacation to Jamaica, we couldn't have picked a better time with the cold weather settling in. When we returned this week our house was surrounded by the neighbours reindeer and blinking lights! Christmas already? Canadians are serious about our winter holiday! So while I scramble to peel the bats and ghosts off of the house, my heart really is itching to start celebrating the 'most wonderful time of the year'!

These Reindeer Thumbprint Ornaments make an adorable holiday keepsake or Christmas present to gift. A nice reminder each year of the time when your little one's thumbs were that little! A fews years back both sides of our family kind of gave up the ghost on exchanging holiday gifts, not the kids of course, they still get their goodies, but the adults lost interest in the gift exchanging and decided to just let the kids have all the fun instead. Sadly, this meant that the … [Read more...]

The boys started wondering if the elf was going to come back this year around late November. I was actually surprised they remembered, but they were pretty excited about Jingles and were hoping for his return. Eventually, he surprised them one morning by showing up in their bedroom when they woke one morning and the game was on! Jingles is the highlight of every morning as the boys search for his new location. He's a sweet little thing, and not a naughty elf like some others I've … [Read more...]

My heart sunk last week when I heard that the Bowmanville Zoo had lost a long standing member of their zoo family. Limba the Asian Elephant was a sweet and gentle old girl at the age of 50 and our family was lucky enough to spend some time getting to know her personally last summer. My family adored Limba and we were so sad to hear that we wouldn't be seeing her again during the performance of The Animal's Gift. With heavy hearts we made our way to Bowmanville on the weekend to get a sneak peek … [Read more...]
