The cost of raising kids to age 18 is crazy expensive. In fact, a recent report stated that the estimate is around a quarter of a million dollars per kid. The really crazy part is that amount doesn’t include any post secondary education costs. To keep up in today’s competitive environment, obtaining post-secondary education is a […]
How CBC Punchline is making sleep training funny!
I’m not sure what la-la land I was living in pre-kids, but I had this unrealistic notion of what life with a child would be like. I just pictured my life as it was… PLUS baby. I imagined it would be awesome PLUS baby in tow. Totally fun and chilled PLUS baby in tow, etc.. […]
Add the Magic of Disney Junior this Holiday Season
I remember when my youngest son, Kyle, was a toddler and his favourite TV show was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on the Disney Junior channel. While he loved Mickey and pals, his favourite part would be when we both got up and danced along to the “Hot Dog” song at the end of the show. I […]
Family fun at the Toronto Marlies Game. Discount Code & a Giveaway!
In a house full of boys, hockey reigns supreme. My boys play hockey year round in our basement, on the ice in the winter and on the street in the summer. Even when we go away on vacation, we always pack mini hockey sticks and balls. Our boys love hockey and it’s a great way […]
The benefits of adding protein to your diet

Barbie brought me companionship when my friends were too busy to play. It also frequently brought friends over to my house as we all loved […]
Five Reasons to go to Disney World NOW!
After our oldest son Kyle was born, my husband and I would contemplate when would be the best time to go to Disney World. We went back and forth noting the pros and cons of going NOW versus in a few years. Ultimately, the main points were “will the kids be too young to remember?” OR “will they […]

Choosing between having kids or buying a house; The Terrible Money Twos
Buying our first Mortgage… I mean, House! I guess when it came to doing things the “traditional” way, my husband and I did a few things backwards. We were the proud owners of TWO mortgages before we got married. On top of that, we bought a cottage FIRST and then a house. We realized that at […]
