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 [...]

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 [...]

‘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 [...]

What a better time than the madness of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, now seeping into Canada, to again discuss holiday shopping needs. How are you getting on? Do you have a list? Are you checking it twice? In a brief moment of clarity this week, I pulled a lined piece of paper out of [...]

So Charlie’s first year is done, and breastfeeding is done, and we’re transitioned to cow’s milk. He generally eats really well, from all of the food groups, and now it’s milk in bottles a few times a day, and water in sippy cups at meal times. It’s gone fairly well, except for a bit of [...]

It’s definitely gotten colder as we are well into the autumn season and my cooking has reflected it. Less salads, more simmering. I’ve baked with pumpkin and roasted some squash and I’m drinking a lot more hot cups of tea. The apple crop suffered this year, but my family still wants me to buy a [...]
