The Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashana) starts this Sunday night and for those who are unfamiliar with the religion or the holiday, here is the ‘cole notes’ version. Jewish New Year provides us with a new beggining. A time to make amends but more importantly, prepare for the year ahead. When it comes to the […]
Happy National Coffee Day
I have very vivid memories from my childhood of my parents drinking coffee. They would have a cup in the morning, one at lunch and one more before bed. Yes, that’s right, before bed! I don’t know if it’s an Israeli thing or if it’s because they drank instant coffee. Either way, I didn’t understand […]
Lets end meal-time mom guilt!
Mom guilt… you instantly have it when you become a mom. Or I should say, when your child is born and you become a mom, mom guilt becomes part of your new identity. It’s a crazy phenomenon due to both nurture and nature. We naturally feel guilty but we also receive a lot of pressure from […]
Teaching Independence to My Sons Through Simple, Every-Day Tasks
On a scale from 1 to 10, I’m like a zero when it comes to being a ‘germaphobe’. As a kid, growing up in Israel, we literately walked barefoot everywhere and pretty much ate off the floor without giving it a second thought. Double dipping? There’s no word for that in Hebrew. Basically, germs is […]
Schick Intuition Razor. Seeking Reviewers for a Giveaway!
I don’t know about you but the one thing I despise (yet won’t stop doing) is shaving my legs in the summer. It’s a tedious task and being of middle eastern decent, I have to do it almost every other day to keep up (TMI?). Between the cottage, my brother’s pool, the hot weather and […]
How going back to school is putting a strain on your child’s back!
From a young age, I remember my grandmother always commenting on my posture. “Straighten your back when you walk, sit up straight,” and “don’t hunch over” she said to me on repeat. So much so, that those messages are forever ingrained in my head. While it was “annoying” to hear as a kid, my grandmother […]
Your child’s eye exam is FREE! and other reasons to take your children to the optometrist.
Last year my oldest son Kyle started complaining about his eyes half way through the school year. While we weren’t sure if he was ‘faking’ it or not, we knew we should go and get his eyes checked in case it was something more serious. I figured that since we were going, I might as well […]
A birthday party appetizer that’s a hit with kids and adults!
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 […]
