A few things – and some of them are more fun than the others. Last week the kids and I participated in a new game on the Teletoon Retro website called Toon Feud. You can log in via your Facebook account and answer questions about cartoons from the good old days, or in our case, about a [...]

Hey, did you enter my Yoplait Source Greek yogurt and Lululemon gift card giveaway yet? (This post, like that post, is written because I am a part of the Life Made Delicious Ambassador Program by Mom Central Canada on behalf of General Mills. I received compensation as a thank you for participating and for sharing [...]

I bought myself a ten-class yoga pass a few months ago. And I’m very thankful it had a long expiry date on it because between the husband’s business trips and various other commitments  and me just not feeling like leaving the house because it’s too cold or miserable (read: too lazy), I’ve only been three or [...]

It feels a bit like I’m emerging from a cocoon. Slowly. The last few weeks have been cold and miserable as winter kept lingering and there’s just been way too much solo parenting so I’ve basically been housebound except for going to work. All of these things make me cranky. I haven’t been taking care [...]

I had one of those days where I really felt like I was having it all. Like I am super woman, hear me roar. Except with less roaring and more juggling, and spinning plates. I was awoken early by a feverish baby, but he was a good alarm clock, since it was Parks and Rec [...]

We’re having one of those rare weekends where I actually feel like we’ve gotten a lot accomplished around the house, I’ve managed to get some time to myself to see friends and go to yoga, and the kids seem mostly entertained. And the best part is, there’s still another day of it left. Hurrah for [...]

We don’t eat a lot of dessert in this house. Let me rephrase that. The kids in the house don’t eat a lot of dessert. We won’t talk about what their parents eat after they go to bed. Anyway, I actually prefer to give them their ‘treat’ foods earlier in the day. I figure this [...]

‘Tis the season for delicious eating, and it seems like every other day we’ve got another gathering or event to bring food to. Today was my office potluck lunch, and I honestly had no idea what I was going to take when I had to decide last week. I knew just what to do – [...]

I already gave you some gift ideas for the hard-to-buy-for, but here’s another super quick and easy one. And as a bonus, it’s totally delicious. Take some walnuts. Coat them with maple syrup and sesame seeds. Bake. Cool. Package. Gift. Enjoy. Could a recipe possibly be easier? Check out the California Walnuts website for the [...]

Actually, it’s not about the pie. We’ve come out the other side of a pretty stressful few weeks and I can say that I mostly survived. Everything happened that was supposed to, the major pieces have fallen into place. I am back at work. I have reliable childcare. We celebrated two birthdays. I looked after [...]
