I love avocados, their soft and cool green flesh. Their ability to take on other flavours. The way they mash with a fork. I didn’t even eat an avocado until I was in my twenties. I consider this a great tragedy. All that guacamole I said no to, because I didn’t know what it was, [...]

I am participating in the Muskoka Woods Blogger Campaign by Mom Central Canada. I received compensation as a thank you for participating and for sharing my honest opinion. The opinions on this blog are my own. I had a craving for s’mores the other day. I think the last time I’d had them was actually [...]

  (psst, click the banner to get a coupon to try Natrel Baboo for free) Charlie’s about to turn 18 months old and I’m running out of baby milestones. Okay, he’s not talking very much yet, relying instead on very expressive grunting and pointing and the occasional ’up’ and ‘yeah’,  but I haven’t heard him say ‘mummy’ [...]

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 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 [...]

I was looking back at my old iPhoto files on the Mac, and I came across this gem. This would have been taken in November 2007, a time I can barely remember because I was SO very OVERwhelmed. I had a newborn and, oh yeah, another baby. Not even 2 years old yet. Talk about [...]

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’ve had a great year being a Fisher-Price blogger. I’ll be totally honest – I really wanted to sign up for this Mom Central Canada campaign because of Charlie being such a new baby last year at this time, and it seemed like it would be nice to treat him to some of their baby [...]
