Wordless Wednesday- Girls!

lauren&I

In my new quest to take more pictures with my girls, I have 2 new ones. As much as I hate pictures of me, I think it’s still important so my kids don’t say “why weren’t you ever around?!” Concentrate on the girls, they’re the cute ones here!
This angle totally isn’t flattering for [...]

Money: The Taboo Subject

CANADIAN-MONEY3

Why is money such a taboo subject? I guess I consider it like that as well, since I’m not a fan of talking about money either. In this day and age, it seems like you either have it or you don’t. You could probably guess where my family fits it.
I wonder though, if we got [...]

Keeping Your Kids Healthy

mrfoxy

The following is a guest post
If you are a busy mom like me, you will know that it is almost impossible to protect your toddler from little bumps, bruises and tumbles in the playground. But you can protect your child from the inside by giving them plenty of nutritious food.
Once your child learns to walk, [...]

Our House

Composite Deck 2

Is a very very very fine house! Since moving in here almost 2 years ago, we have been pretty happy here. There are a few things I would like to change, and they have been on mind since moving in here. I guess I just like dreaming and not ‘doing’!
One of the improvements we wanted [...]

My Very Own Visit

image description

From the Fairy Hobmother! I have been reading blogs for a long time. Longer than I’ve had my own little corner of the interwebs. Lately, I’ve seen some pretty awesome posts just giving this Fairy a shout out. And thankfully, my very own awesome fairy picked me!
It hasn’t been an easy week (or two) lately. [...]

Camp Memories!

camp

There’s something I haven’t really blogged about here before. I always wanted to go to summer camp, but when your father is in the military and posting messages could happen at anytime, I never got the chance. Or perhaps I didn’t beg too much.
While I was still in my undergraduate degree, I wanted [...]

And Then She Went To Public School

CP

Confused yet? Lauren already goes to public school. However, the last few days have been trying. A little mis-communication between myself, our old physician in Nova Scotia and the lack of a family doctor for Lauren here in Ontario landed her suspended from school today. On Valentine’s Day. The day she had been waiting for [...]

I have a cooking show

tacosoup

Perhaps this stems from my only-child syndrome, but often when I’m cooking, I like to pretend I have a cooking show. OR, I put on a grade A concert using a salt grinder as a microphone. Let’s just say I’m making it my mission to embarrass my children. Just wait until they’re teenagers and I [...]

The One Where I Further Embarrass Myself

ap1_5_pkg

Just to prove yet again how absolutely ridiculous I am, I decided to share a conversation with. I was at my 2nd home today (the grocery store) and happened to be in the aisle that has toilet paper and feminine supplies. (And why on earth is toilet paper so freaking expensive?!) I have no idea [...]

Why Peeing with An Audience is A BAD Thing

bite_me_toilet_300

I joke around these parts how much I could get accomplished if I could pee by myself. With the door closed. I swear my children don’t want world peace because I’m never allowed that luxury. And if I am? It’s usually midnight and the cat is scratching at the door.
My children routinely make my whole [...]
