We live and breathe hockey, as you know. Hockey and Canadian families just go together, right? Being a hockey mom AND a coach’s wife means there is no shortage of ice and rink talk at the dinner table, on family car rides and even in the bedroom!

I had such a great time at the Netflix StreamTeam Advance Screening of the Orange is the New Black: Season Two that I wanted to throw my own OITNB party with some of my great girlfriends! We were all ‘allowed’ to watch up to episode 3 of the second season before our party, so that […] Read more…

Since turning off the lights during Earth Hour on March 29th, we’ve continued the dialogue about Earth Day (April 22nd) and conserving energy in our family. With the boys learning about saving electricity in science this month, we’ve created four family goals to all pitch in and make a difference in our own house! Our […] Read more…
