Our house often resembles a small toy store (although a messy one at that). I contemplate throwing out 99% of the stuff my kids own because I can’t stand the mess, the piles and the unloved, forgotten toys. The one ‘toy’ I can’t get enough of for my boys is books. While we have hundreds […]
BREATH!
Clenched fists, gnashed teeth, gloom face, feet dragging, tears streaming… BREATH! This was me for the past month. Life got stressful, and I clearly didn’t know how to deal with it. But ever so often, I would catch myself, and repeated the word “breath”, over and over until I cleared my mind and felt relaxed […]
Wellness Tips for Moms-To-Be
While it’s been a while since I was last pregnant (almost three years ago), I still have several friends and family members who are either currently expecting their first child or just had them this past month. It’s so exciting seeing new parents speaking about the experience. There is so much joy when you’re expecting […]
When a house is more than just a house
It’s official… our beloved home is for sale. The home we bought almost 11 years ago when John and I were together for just under two years. Some may call it luck, some may call it good timing, and others may call it faith, but I call it serendipity. “Serendipity (n) finding something good without […]
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 […]
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 […]
Tips for baby proofing your modern home
I remember when my oldest son was born, I couldn’t’ wait for him to hit his milestones. Every day seemed like an eternity until he finally started cooing, smiling, laughing, grabbing, pointing, rolling-over, sitting, and crawling. Oh crawling… what was I thinking trying to rush that moment. I was eager for him to reach that […]
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 […]
