Last year my oldest son Kyle started complaining about his eyes half way through the school year. While we weren’t sure if he was ‘faking’ it or not, we knew we should go and get his eyes checked in case it was something more serious. I figured that since we were going, I might as well […]
A birthday party appetizer that’s a hit with kids and adults!
When it comes to throwing kid’s birthday parties, you could say I’m “experienced”. After all, I’ve already hosted 9 of them! Nate’s second birthday party is September 1st so we usually (this will be our second year) celebrate on the Labour Day long weekend at the cottage. I typically go all out with selecting a […]

SKECHERS Shoes for the whole family & a Giveaway
Think back to your childhood. What shoes did you wear? For me, it was SKECHERS. They were stylish, comfortable and affordable. It was pretty much the only branded shoe I could convince my parents to buy me. I loved them so much that I wore them well into my early adulthood. In fact, I wore SKECHERS (that […]
Tips for Back-to-School Clothes Shopping & a Great Giveaway
You either love it or hate it, but regardless of where you stand on the topic, it’s almost time for back-to-school! With three weeks to go, I’ve already started my back-to-school shopping for the kids. My oldest son Kyle is entering grade 1 (someone hold me), so besides a new lunch box and water bottle, […]
How to keep your cat meow-nificent year round!
It’s not very well known but we have a pet cat. I don’t often speak of her because she’s not top of mind… you know the whole three kids thing. She’s also an outdoor cat. She literally spends 20+ hours a day outdoors. Even when she comes inside to eat, she doesn’t stay longer than […]
What would you do with 48 hours of alone time?
It was Friday afternoon and I was in my typical mom position, on the ground playing with my youngest two boys. My husband comes down the stairs from his office and offers me the best proposition of my life “What if I took the boys to the cottage and you stayed home for the weekend?” […]
Enjoy a sweet break with Nutella & Loblaws
If you love Nutella, read on (I’m assuming that’s everyone)… You don’t have to have a sweet tooth to love Nutella. I know that’s true for me. While I would say that I have a “salty tooth” (and yes, I’m clearly aware that’s not a ‘thing’), I only enjoy sweets once in a while. During […]
Tips for making extracurricular activities more affordable…
“Mama, when I grow up, I want to be a baseball player” “Mama, I must have practiced hitting when I was in your tummy!” These are actual conversations with my six year old. In the winter time substitute baseball for hockey and hitting for scoring! It’s clear that my son is a huge sports fan […]
I never yell at my kids! Except when I do…
Kyle, my oldest son, was about 18 months old when I yelled at him for the first time. We were at the park, and he was probably not listening or potentially hitting another kid. To be honest, I can’t remember the details (isn’t that always the case), but I’m sure it was a good reason […]
