There’s been a bit of a radio silence on my blog lately, but there’s a reason for that. Last week I was away in Poland and I really wanted to focus on my experience without any distractions – including my blog. I hardly spent any time on social media, with the exception of recapping my […]
Dare to dream! How Shaw Festival’s family-friendly show had us captivated.
Kyle is seven years old now and is at a great age for live theater. I took him to see two plays this year and he loved them both. So when I received an opportunity to take him to see a show at Shaw Festival, I knew he would want to go. I’ve been to […]
Leftover Chicken, Three Different Ways
Growing up there were two certainties about my daily meals. One was that we had soup every day. The second was that we ate chicken every day. With so much chicken in my diet, one could think that I would despise it as an adult. To the contrary, I still love it. So much so […]
How Diabetes Has Touched My Life
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sun Life Financial for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. If you’ve been pregnant, you probably remember that “fun” medical test you took around 26 weeks. It consisted of drinking an unappetizing sweetened orange looking drink and some blood work – also known as […]
5 reasons why you should get a Canada’s Wonderland Season Pass
Lots of families have their yearly rituals, be it their annual family trip or their holiday traditions. For my family, it’s getting a season pass to Canada’s Wonderland every summer. It might have something to do with the fact that I spent many summer days there during my childhood but my kids love it just […]
Why I’m ‘pro’ Kids Team Snacks
I remember reading a blog post a few years back, about team snacks. This was well before I was knee-deep in the world of team sports with my kids. I appreciated the author’s position and the points that she made against team snacks. While it didn’t mean much to me at the time, as Kyle […]
How I’m taking back control of my health and wellness
If you’ve ever looked at my blog headings, you’ll notice that I have four main categories that I typically write about. They are: Parenting, Travel & Adventure, Wellness & Health, and Reviews & Giveaways. Except, one of these headings has been lacking content for the last few years. The last time I really put time […]
Our Staycation at the Sheraton Centre Toronto
Have you ever taken a Staycation? We generally do in the summer time when we head up to the cottage. We consider that our Summer Staycation as we would never consider going anywhere else. However, when I recently received the opportunity to enjoy a staycation at the Sheraton Centre in Toronto, I almost dismissed it. […]
How Shaw Kindness Sticks Grant program encourages kids to be kind
I’ve always believed that the foundation to teaching any life lesson should begin at home. Kyle was just two years old when John and I implemented the “bucket” approach to kindness at home. Instead of saying “be nice” or “stop being mean” we refer to our children’s actions as either ‘bucket filling’ or ‘bucket dipping’. We […]
Your daughter isn’t different than my son
It happened again, as it most certainly will continue to happen for the rest of my life. I received someone else’s opinion about the “tragedy” of having all boys as children. The thing is, I’ve heard it so often now that I have gotten to the point where I just shrug it off to ignorance […]
