We have all heard about parents having a favourite kid. True or false, it’s definitely a parenting topic that gets a lot of air time. Dare a parent admit that they have a favourite though as they risk being ridiculed and judged by others or worse yet, they can scar their kids for life. But if we’re […]
Making the most of summer break for kids… and parents!
Next week, my summer vacation is going to look a lot different. For the past two weeks, both Kyle and Ryan were in sports camp. Having just Nathan at home felt like I was on “vacation.” Next week will be the first week I have all of the boys home with me and I would […]
Is it ever okay to discipline somebody else’s child?
Parenting… it’s not for the faint at heart, am I right? Just this past month alone I was faced with a slew of scenarios where I felt out of my element. I had no idea what the “right” thing to do was, so I just went with my instinct. Lets just say that I was […]
My latest #momhack is the Pampers Rewards App! And a Giveaway!
I remember when I became pregnant with my first son Kyle, I never even considered including diapers in my baby registry.

Why Summer is the best time for potty training
We’re at it again – potty training for the third (and final) time. I can’t say I’m going to miss this stage, but it will be nice knowing that all three of my boys have reached this milestone of independence. After all, isn’t that what all parents strive for? Raising kind and independent kids? My youngest […]
This new innovation from Pampers is a game changer
People always joke that there are only two certainties in life – death and taxes. I would like to add one more and it’s that if you’re a parent, it’s no sleep! When your kids are newborns there are constant wake ups for feeding, diaper changes or a myriad of other reasons. As they age, there’s […]

That time I became a minimalist
I’m going to let you in on a little secret – I’m a wanna be minimalist. I’m going to tell you another secret – I love things! I love shopping and the act of giving and receiving gifts. I’m not materialistic per say, but I enjoy STUFF… GOODS… whatever you want to call it, I […]
The Seasons on Little Lake offers Affordable Cottaging without the Maintenance
I often have to pinch myself when I realize how lucky we are to own a cottage in Ontario. In hindsight, we were smart when we purchased it while we were still young (pre marriage and kids) and before we became home owners. It was still affordable and our expenses at the time were limited. […]
