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!

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 […]
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 […]
Exciting ways to enjoy local, seasonal produce & a Giveaway!
When I attended business school a big focus of my studies was sustainability. While that means a lot of different things to different people, a few thing stuck with me when I took my learning to the “real world” as a consumer. One of those things was to Shop Local. Luckily where I live, my […]
What would you tell your younger, student, self?
In my previous life, I worked at IBM as a Personal Computing Sales Representative. It was 1999 and the brink of Y2K. A student myself, I knew everything about personal computers (PCs) and I remember selling a majority to parents who needed to buy a laptop or computer for their kids entering University. At that […]
