Why had we never gone to Blue Mountain in the winter before? Summer at Blue Mountain has always been our go-to warm weather destination to escape the city, step out of our comfort zone and of course, make some family memories. We love being outdoors at Blue Mountain (only 1 hour and a half from […] Read more…
The last few days have consisted of four hockey games, two practices and numerous trips to Tim Hortons! This is the life of a proud hockey mom! From ringing the cowbell for every goal to planning their fundraisers, I’ve completely embraced this amazing sport and all the fun and stress that comes with it! I’ve even shared […] Read more…
I loved everything about being pregnant with the twins. I loved gaining weight, being able to eat what I wanted, and being so in tune with how my body worked. I was proud and amazed to be growing two more miracles to complete our family! What I didn’t know was how different my twin pregnancy would […] Read more…
The best part of hosting a kids’ birthday party is seeing your child and their friends having the greatest time ever!

I’ve been really struggling with finding the right prescription that helps me with […] Read more…
Do you talk to your kids about money? We do. We’ve had times where money was tight, especially during summer months when expenses are through the roof. We’ve taking the opportunity to be honest with our kids about how much things cost and allowed them to be part of the decision-making process. Sometimes it […] Read more…

Last week’s Prince HitnRun concert in Toronto just reinforced that music was just incredible in the 90s. We knew all the words, they didn’t swear (much), the innuendo was subtle, the artists had more than one hit and we all kinda liked the same stuff.
