Why we (almost) always have dinner together as a family
I get it… life is busy. If there is anyone that can understand that, it’s me. Just this weekend alone put me to the test. Three kids playing ball hockey at three different times on both Saturday and Sunday, three birthday parties, swimming lessons and that was just the kid stuff! John and I somehow […]
Why my boys can’t wait to go back to soccer camp at True North Sports camp
It’s almost summer and figuring out what to do with my boys for 10 weeks is a little daunting. On one hand, I want them to enjoy the freedom that comes with summer time. No school, no schedule and less rules. However, I also know that they will drive me crazy if they just stay […]
My son has a learning disability despite his high IQ. Here’s how we found out.
Early last year we found out that one of my boys had a learning disability (also, I hate that term. I prefer ‘learning challenge’ instead). For those of you who are unfamiliar, here is a the definition of Learning Disabilities (‘LD’): specific neurological disorders that affect the brain’s ability to store, process, retrieve or communicate […]
My Staycation Survival Tip
This post was sponsored by SkiptheDishes. The views and opinions expressed in this blog, however, are purely my own. Oh March Break… You’re only a week long but I have so many feelings about you. In the past, we would typically go away over March Break (usually on a ski trip). This year, we decided […]
The trouble with older siblings
Kyle was in grade 1 when my perfectly sheltered and innocent son came home ‘changed.’ You see, he learned a new word at school that day. A swear word to be exact. While I knew this day would eventually happen, I didn’t realize it would happen when he was just 6 years old. After some […]
Why we use Reading Eggs program for our kids homework
Ryan and Nathan, my youngest two boys, are in Senior and Junior kindergarten respectively. While some of the parents of their peers worry about what they’re learning (reading / writing), I mostly want them to gain social skills and learn through play. However, I’ve noticed a big discrepancy between what Ryan and Nathan are learning […]

Now that my kids are in school full time, I’m happier. Does that make me a bad mom?
The choice to become a stay-at-home-mom (SAHM) was all mine. When I was pregnant, I was contemplating this decision, but couldn’t make up my mind. Luckily, I knew I had a year to think about it. Oddly enough, Kyle’s first year of life was really hard on me. The transition into parenthood wasn’t easy, and Kyle […]
Have an idea to improve safe driving in your community? You could win a $1000 GC Courtesy of Allstate Canada!
A little over a year ago we made the move to our ‘forever’ home. John loved it because it was right across from the school, which meant our ‘backyard’ was now HUGE for the boys to run around in and play. I liked it because of its proximity to the school (Kyle can basically zip […]
