Spring is approaching which means kids will be spending a lot of time outdoors – obviously a good thing. They’ll enjoy some fresh air while running around, playing with friends and letting their creativity soar. One of my favourite spring activities is blowing bubbles for my kids while they draw with chalk on our porch and […]
How to be Prepared for the Unexpected – Dealing With Financial Fraud
It happened to my best-friend, a relative, a neighbour and an old co-worker. Over the years, I’ve heard about it happening to others, but I never once expected that it would happen to me. However, just last month I experienced credit card fraud and it was a rude awakening. Perhaps I’m a little naive though because according […]
My boys and I left with much more than just sparkly nails after our visit to Glama Gal Tween Spa
If you don’t know me, you may not know that I’m part tomboy. I love to get dirty, play sports, seek thrills, and I even kept snakes and mice as pets at one point in my life. Which all came in handy when I became a mom to three boys. I may not watch professional sports as […]
My visit to Ste. Anne’s Spa with my mom
Visiting Ste. Anne’s Spa has been on my bucket list for several years now. When I received the opportunity to go, I immediately knew that I had to take my mom along with me. My mom has not only been instrumental in helping me grow up to be an independent and successful woman, but she’s also provided […]
Getting your kids to eat healthy – is that even possible?
I was at my son’s friend’s birthday party this past weekend, and as the pizza was being handed out, the birthday boy received his own separate meal. It had nothing to do with allergies, but rather, he was an extremely picky eater. Not only did he not like pizza (what!?), the mom said that she […]
How to Recover from a Busy and Fun-Filled March Break
March break was fun, but I’m not going to lie when I say that I’m glad it’s over. Over the break we spent a few days at home enjoying local activities like tobogganing and skating at our outdoor rink. We also went away to a winter resort for a few days. We got to see […]
The Loving Bond Between Dads and Daughters. And A Barbie Challenge!
When I think back to my childhood and my favourite toys, the first thing that pops into my mind is my Barbie Doll collection. I’m not sure why, but I was obsessed playing with my Barbie dolls (and Ken). I had the Barbie Dream house that was complete with an elevator, full bathroom, living room […]
My Parenting Sanity-Savers
My Sanity! It’s a top priority for me, right after taking care of my kids. But lets be honest, they go hand-in-hand! And if anyone knows about keeping sane, it’s me. After all, I’m with my boys 24/7. Going grocery shopping alone is the equivalent of a girls-night-out or a mini weekend getaway… you get […]
Spring Check List For Parents!
“Hurray – we change the clocks this weekend” said no parent ever! While some people may look forward to the extra hour of sleep, or get upset by losing an hour of sleep, for parents, it’s all the same. The hour change either way really seems to mess up my kids’ sleep routine which usually […]
My boys ARE enough!
As a mom to three boys and only boys, I know I’ll be bombarded with this question by complete strangers for the rest of my life. In fact, I’ve come to expect it. I’m no longer upset or hurt by the question as I once was. Time and experience has helped me deal with it. So much […]
