There seems to be a lot of negativity in the press lately. As a parenting blogger, articles that are specifically reserved for parent shaming and bashing make the top of my news feed. While the recent events involving young kids and animals are devastating in so many ways, I was mostly disheartened by how hateful everyone was towards the […]
How to pick the right purse
It’s amazing how many purses I’ve owned in my lifetime. I can’t think of a time when I didn’t carry one, except for that period when fanny packs were cool (ps. can they be cool again please? They would be so handy for moms…. I digress.) Love them or hate them, purses are practical. Unlike men who […]
A Lazy Mom’s Guide to Dinner
I hate cooking! There, I’ve said it. Except, to those closest to me, this isn’t a surprise. Back in high-school, when my friend came over and I tried to make us dinner, my grandmother stepped in and took over… even though I was only making macaroni and cheese. When my husband and I met, our dinners consisted of […]
Canada’s Wonderland from a kid’s perspective
I have such fond memories of spending time at Canada’s Wonderland as a kid. From going there with my family as a new immigrant, to being goofy with my cousin, to playing hooky to go there during the week with a friend (with our parent’s approval of course). I loved the thrill of the rides, I loved getting […]
Downtown parking just got easier with HonkMobile. Enter to win 1 year of free parking!
We live downtown, on the subway line so you would think that we use public transportation all the time, but you would be wrong. If you’ve ever tried to take a stroller on a subway where an elevator doesn’t exist, you’ll know what I mean. In addition to the stroller, add another kid (or two), a […]
Am I a worse parent because I’m a Stay-at-home-mom?
I recently wrote about my struggles of being a stay-at-home-mom (you can read about it here). Not that I don’t love this “gig” and there’s really nothing else I would rather do. My post was to highlight the repetitive aspect of being a stay-at-home-mom and how there truly isn’t a real break. There is no 9 to […]
Our family photography experience in Hawaii
In case you don’t know, I’m obsessed with pictures. It’s something that I picked up from a young age, probably from my dad. I remember in junior-high (in the early 90’s) being the “class” photographer. Always with a camera in my hand, capturing memories. When I backpacked through Europe in early 2000 I left with 90 […]
May Long Weekend – The Unofficial Start of Summer
Not so long ago, before we had kids, the May long weekend (aka Victoria Day) was a special weekend for my husband and I. It was the unofficial start of summer for us as we opened up our cottage and invited (30 of) our closest friends up to party! Sure the weather might have been […]
Our Family’s Stay at Hilton Waikoloa Village in the Big Island, Hawaii
While my family has been fortunate enough to travel to Hawaii for the past six years, this year was our first long-term stay at the Big Island. John and I were there two years ago, but since I was pregnant with Nate and we left the other two boys home with our parents, we made […]
Nate won’t say Mom, but he says all of these words instead…
Nate, my amazing, silly, funny and easy going third son is a quick learner. I’m sure it has something to do with wanting to keep up with his older brothers. It’s no wonder he’s been our earliest talker. As early as 18 months he started saying two-word phrases and just four months shy of his second […]
