Well July is almost over which means we are smack dab in the middle of summer. I don’t know about you but our family has already managed to make some pretty great summer memories. But we aren’t done! When you…
I use to read a lot. Settling back and getting into a good book was my “me time”. And then I had a kid. And now, well I still read, but my reading now is more for my daughter’s pleasure…
I can remember six years ago, right around the time we got married and started trying to start a family, like it was yesterday. Making the decision to start a family is a huge one. I happened to be 37…
I’m going to go ahead and admit that I’m not a huge fan of hotdogs. Actually the last time I had a hot dog was years ago when I was pregnant. My husband and I were volunteering at a charity…
I’m a pretty healthy eater over all but once in a while I get a craving for things that maybe aren’t always so healthy. Pub food is one of those things. I’m not a huge wing fan but I do…
Kids are dirty. That’s just life and the truth is most of the time the dirtier a kid is the more fun she’s had. Getting dirty is part of growing up – although getting messy is not reserved for kids! We’ve learned…

I admit it. I’m one of those people that love to shop. And more and more I enjoy doing it in the comfort of my own home. It’s easier, it’s quicker and I have had exceptionally good luck with my…
Do you have a sports fan in your house? Last year I was lucky enough to win season tickets to see our local CFL team play and my five year old daughter fell in love with football. Of course for…
Salmon done on the grill just screams summer to me. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that I love fishing in the summer and over the years I have caught my fair share of rainbow trout….
One of my favorite family memories was from a few years ago when my daughter was barely a toddler and we travelled to Seattle. During our visit we made a stop at a popular crab shack. It was noisy, the…
My husband has always been reasonably fit. He was never really one to go to the gym but his work is quite physical and often labour intensive and we tend to eat healthy so he managed to stay in pretty…
