John and I have always been advocates of getting our kids their daily dose of exercise. We are always one of the last families to leave the school playground and we sign our kids up for extracurricular sports (of their choice) like hockey, baseball, soccer and ball hockey. When the weather doesn’t cooperate, we move […]
Will I regret this…
Unfortunately, it’s usually when tragedy strikes that we think about what’s really important in life. Late Friday night, as I was scrolling through Twitter (yes, I still use it – mostly for news), I found out about the tragic accident that took place in Saskatchewan. When news came in that a bus carrying a team […]
Getting Ready for Summer with True North Sports Camps
Spring is here (the season, not the weather) and it got me thinking about Summer. Specifically, that I need to sign up my boys for summer camps. This mama is not ready to spend two full months at home with my three boys. I love them, but I need my space and alone time. More […]
Your bad night’s sleep might not be due to your kids… review of Casper’s mattress, pillows and sheets.
About a month ago I used to wake up almost daily with a sore neck. I just assumed it was due to poor sleep or the position in which I slept that night. While it didn’t make for a great start to my day, it did eventually go away as the day progressed, so I […]
Our Family Ski trip at Smugglers’ Notch
March break was last week, but in a way it already seems like ages ago. Mostly because we had so much fun on our family ski trip at Smugglers’ Notch. It wasn’t the typical “re-location” you have when you go away on a trip with the kids. Sure there was still some whining and tantrums, […]
Sometimes we need to lie to our kids
Last week, a house three doors down from us was broken into. It was during the day, and the owner was home (so was his barking dog). When my neighbour went down stairs to see why the dog was barking, to his surprise, he found a stranger in his house! He immediately began to chase […]
Are my kids less independent because I’m a stay-at-home-mom?
Sometimes life has a funny way to show you that some things are truly out of your control. I am probably one of the most free-range parents you will ever meet and I wanted more than anything to not raise “mama’s boys”… well guess what? My oldest son is the most cautious kid I have […]
Planning a road trip over the break? Read this before you hit the road
Every year, we take at least one family road trip during winter months. This year, we’re taking not one, but TWO! Back in December we drove to Mont Tremblant for a few days of skiing. This week we’ll be embarking on another road trip to Vermont for 5 days of skiing at the beautiful Smugglers […]
Kid Approved, Lactose-Free, Protein Pancakes
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always made pancakes one way – out of a box. You know, like the Aunt Jemima box that comes with the pancake powder? All you need to do is add water! YUP – easy peasy and it tasted good, so why mess with a good thing, right? […]
What I won’t write about…
As a blogger, I feel as though my life is an open book. My friends often joke that they don’t really need to “catch up” with me because I share so much of my life online that they already know what I’ve been up to. And they are right…. to an extent. When my kids […]
