Kids: A Bucket List

bucketlist

I’m sure I’m not the only one that thought about actually “making” a bucket list after seeing the movie with the same title with Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Honestly it’s a great idea. What things do you want to say you’ve successfully done before you die.

Dear Toronto Transit: Try Again?

TTC_logo1

Recently Adam came home saying that he got to try one of the new subways. He said they’re wheelchair accessible, and very stylish. But, he mentioned there was a gap that he thought would make it difficult for someone in a wheelchair to cross.
I got to meet the fabulous Tenille from Feisty Frugal and Fabulous a [...]

Wordless Wednesday- Music

music1

Seems like Lauren isn’t featured in many pictures lately. Mostly because she’s at school all day. I took this picture on Monday, she was asking me to play Twinkle Twinkle over and over. Since she was so eager, I placed some shaped stickers on her keyboard keys and wrote out a “legend” if you will [...]

Saying Goodbye Has Never Been This Funny! (Sponsored Video)

zellers

I know that I speak for myself and tons of other people who are going to miss Zeller’s, once the big bad Tar-jet invades our land. Zeller’s has been a well known household name for as long as I can remember. It will definitely be different not to see our Canadian paraphernalia from the [...]

Saving Money in 2012

$

One goal of mine this year is to save some money for our family. We always have great intentions about
saving money, and then something comes up. New equipment for Jillian, new shoes for Lauren (or
clothes, seriously, how do these children grow so much?!) Unfortunately for us, we never seem to get
ahead. It’s nice to dream [...]

How 11 Years Passes So Fast

March 23, 2001, a date that will be etched in my brain forever. See that beautiful lady up there? (Excuse the poor quality of picture… I don’t have a scanner, so I’m reduced to taking a picture of a picture) That’s my Nanny. You could call her Nanny or Helen, whatever. She wouldn’t have minded.

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. [...]
