Oh Summer – how I love thee! Between the sun, warm weather and spending time up on the lake, not much else can top it. I was born to live in the sun but since I live in Canada, I enjoy the three months of summer as much as possible. I never take a minute […]
Family Movie Night At the Cottage with The Boss Baby
While we don’t regularly have family movie nights, we sure do love them when we do. For one, it’s special because we gather as a family and two, the kids love getting screen time, especially when it’s encouraged by either John or I. During the winter months we have them more frequently because nothing is […]
My son has a favourite parent… And it’s not me
We have all heard about parents having a favourite kid. True or false, it’s definitely a parenting topic that gets a lot of air time. Dare a parent admit that they have a favourite though as they risk being ridiculed and judged by others or worse yet, they can scar their kids for life. But if we’re […]
Jump & Play Tgoma at the Springfree Trampoline Summer Jumpoff Event to Benefit Cystic Fibrosis!
Earlier this month we received our beloved (and I’m not using that word lightly – we really love it) Springfree Trampoline. The boys (husband included) and I have been jumping on it daily – when we wake up, after camp, after dinner and everywhere in between. Besides jumping, the kids have made up so many […]
Making the most of summer break for kids… and parents!
Next week, my summer vacation is going to look a lot different. For the past two weeks, both Kyle and Ryan were in sports camp. Having just Nathan at home felt like I was on “vacation.” Next week will be the first week I have all of the boys home with me and I would […]
Wholesome snacks on the go… for parents!
What’s the secret to keeping my kids happy? It’s sort of simple… SNACKS! I wish I was exaggerating, but I’m not. Almost always when they’re unhappy, a snack seems to do the trick. It’s not necessarily the solution to the reason why they’re upset (they might be tired, bored, exhausted or just upset), but a […]
Reclaim your backyard with Springfree Trampoline
If you live in the city, you know that backyard space is limited. But you also know how wonderful city life can be. It’s a compromise. We gave up a big house with a big back yard to have access to stores, restaurants, coffee shops and transportation within walking distance. It’s no wonder “city folks” […]
The perfect companion for your outdoor adventures
I’m not going to lie… it’s been a while since I read a book. In the mornings I’m watching the boys and at night I’m online and I blog. On a rare day off, I catch up on my favourite TV shows. This doesn’t leave me much time for reading. Even my favourite magazines are […]
Fall in love with Canada’s Wonderland for the first time… again!
If you follow me on social media, you already know how much my family and I love Canada’s Wonderland. We have been going there almost weekly since opening day. People might wonder if it ever gets boring or repetitive since we got there so often, but the honest truth is that it doesn’t! In fact, […]
Is it ever okay to discipline somebody else’s child?
Parenting… it’s not for the faint at heart, am I right? Just this past month alone I was faced with a slew of scenarios where I felt out of my element. I had no idea what the “right” thing to do was, so I just went with my instinct. Lets just say that I was […]
