The year was 2005. John and I have been together for almost 2 years. Not yet married, but we decided to take an even bigger step together. On my suggestion, we decided to switch from renters to home owners. I set a seed (of an idea) in John’s head and our journey to become home […]
How Mydoh has helped motivate our son to stay on top of his chores and focus on saving for his goal
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Mydoh, but all opinions are my own. For the past year, our family has been using the Mydoh app as both an automated tool to pay our son his allowance, but also to get our kids focused on doing their chores around the house. Mydoh is a money management […]
How we use the Mydoh app to teach our kids about financial literacy at home
This post is sponsored by Mydoh powered by RBC. However, all opinions are my own. John and I are big supporters of giving our kids responsibility and chores.

Our family’s experience with eczema
This post is brought to you by one of Canada’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers. The views and opinions expressed in this blog, however, are purely my own.

Parenting during the pandemic; 7 parents, 7 perspectives.
I was recently speaking to a friend of mine who asked me how I was ‘doing it all’ during the pandemic. My reply? I’m not… I’m drowning and my head is barely above water.

Would we send them to school or keep them at home to learn through virtual school. Kamau Bobb Google discussions highlight the importance of diverse voices. Our decision didn’t come lightly and was very […]
40 things I learned in 40 years
I guess it’s official… I’m 40. It both feels like a privilège (to age), but it also hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m grateful, but I’m also not happy about it. With that I guess, comes some life lessons. Mostly that the more I learn, the less I know. However, I have picked […]
Family friendly activities in Bancroft, Ontario
We’ve been spending our summers at the cottage, located in Bancroft Ontario, for the past 16 years. But it’s taken a pandemic to get us to explore the area. Something we often took for granted because we wanted to spend our days on the dock. But having stayed up at the cottage for the entire […]
Dyslexia awareness – here are the resources and tools you need to help support your child
October is Dyslexia Awareness Month and to help spread awareness and acceptance, I wanted to share our story of how it has impacted our life. My hope is that through my story, you will learn that dyslexia is a) very prevalent and common and b) is very misunderstood and c) that there are lots of […]
My secret to keeping sane and happy on the go
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of GoGo squeeZ. All opinions are 100% mine. With back-to-school around the corner, I’m spending a lot of time reflecting on our summer. To say the least, it was very different. Less sports, no camps and we basically moved to the cottage. Some of the […]
