For those of you who follow me on social media, you probably already know that my youngest son Nathan loves everything pink. Well… he used to. Up until a month ago, pink was his favourite colour thanks to his favourite and beloved puppy – Skye (from the show Paw Patrol – if you’re not a […]
Healthy Black Bean Chocolate Brownie that your kids will actually eat!
While I’ve been spending a lot of time on my health and wellness the past 6 months, I’m more laid back when it comes to my kids. Yes I feed them well during their main meals, but they definitely enjoy their share of snacks and treats throughout the day. I chalk it up to “pick […]
My Summer bag essentials
I’ve reached a point in my life where as a mom and a work-from-home-mom, my days aren’t just about my kids anymore. Sure, it’s still a big part of my day, but I’ve finally been able to incorporate some ME time too. Or at the very least, I’ve started thinking about my needs too. I […]
Pros and cons of a family vacation at a cottage
When it comes to our summer break and vacations, you can be sure to find us in one place – the cottage! We’re so fortunate to have a place where we go to every weekend and vacation there for about a week or two each summer. In a few years, when the boys are a […]
When playing sports is a humbling experience for kids
A few weekends ago Kyle participated in his first ball hockey tournament. The team has some strong players but there weren’t any expectations that the team would make it far. They ended up placing in the middle. And while there’s a lot to learn from losing (I wrote about that last year in THIS post), […]
How to experience Canada’s Wonderland with older kids in elementary grades
I’ve been taking Kyle to Canada’s Wonderland since he was just under two years old. At the time I didn’t realize this but there were so many rides he was able to enjoy independently. That’s when I decided to get a season pass for the following summer and we have every year since. Part of […]
Honey, I over-scheduled the kids!
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’m looking forward to Summer. And I don’t mean just because it’s warm and sunny and I’m a happier person. I definitely don’t mean that I’m looking forward to having the kids out of school and home with me for two months. What I mean is […]
Enjoy a traditional family barbecue, guilt free!
I know that for some Canadians, barbecue season is all year round. However, for us it’s almost exclusively during the summer months. That’s because we spend most of our summer weekends up at the cottage and there’s nothing simpler than making food on the barbecue. That includes breakfast, lunch and dinner because being at the […]
Cool down with one of these three Vanilla Freak Shakes
Since February, when I began my health and wellness journey (again), I started drinking protein shakes regularly. While they were full of fruits like strawberries, bananas and other berries, I also found that it was a great way to sneak vegetables into my diet that I may not eat otherwise – like spinach, carrots and […]
Our Summer-ready routine
It’s almost the official start of summer, but we have been lucky enough to experience summer weather in the Spring. Yes, I said lucky! That’s because I’m not really a winter person. Living in Canada I don’t exactly have a choice, but that’s why I soak up every single minute of warm weather and sunny […]
