Often, the May long weekend is left for tedious household tasks. This year instead of prepping the gardens, opening up the cottage or doing your annual spring cleaning, try doing something new and start the summer off right!

I grew up in a sleepy little town where nothing ever happened. If you were looking for some fun, you needed to head out of town. Every weekend, except one. My hometown adopted the Victoria Day weekend as our own, at some point in history and from that year on, we threw ourselves a party and out of towners came to us! There was old fashioned fun for every age. Three legged races and pet shows for the little ones, midway rides and cotton candy for the big kids, and in my teens, I had all of my … [Read more...]

“ Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero.” -Marc Brown Valentines Day might have been all hearts and flowers before we had kids, but these days it's a family affair and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Despite any amount of teasing, shoving and not sharing in the household, my boys are actually the best of friends. They love to joke and laugh together, usually over something about a fart. As much as it annoys me, it definitely makes me smile to see them building a bond that will last their whole lives. But it's times when they show their heart, that really catches my breathe. The times they show their tenderness and love for eachother, well, that just brings tears to my eyes. These two … [Read more...]

"Mommy?, Will you sleep with me?" my youngest asks as he toddles into the room Often this is just a good stall tactic at bedtime, but tonight I could see he was in need of some extra cuddles. So I tucked him back under his covers and crawled in behind him. "Mommy, I'm so in love with you", whispers a little voice in the dark. I can't help but laugh at his choice of words, 'in love' "I love you too buddy" I answer "Cause you'll always be in my heart" He responds This is a phrase … [Read more...]
