23 Comments

We have mentioned Earth’s Berries before on here and they are so amazing that we want to mention them again, and again, and again! Earth’s Berries or Soap Nuts “aren’t technically nuts. They’re fruit, taken from the soapberry tree (Sapindus mukorrosi). In appearance, they’re similar to the lychee nut, yet they’re not grown for consumption. Thanks to their high concentration of foaming “saponin,” soap nuts are used throughout the world as cleaning agents.” (taken directly from http://www.earthsberriesoapnuts.com) I bought two 1 kg bags of Soap Nuts back in April (you get free shipping for orders $60+) and I am just … Continue reading →

“Fall Back” with Kids

When I was in high school, University and when I was married without children, I used to look forward to this weekend. I used to love the “fall back” time change because this was the time you could catch up on one hour of sleep. Sweet. When you have young children, you don’t get an hour of extra sleep, you actually lose an hour of sleep because their little bodies haven’t adjusted and we all know they work on clockwork. My six year old daughter wakes up for the day between 5:30 and 6:15 and my son wakes up between … Continue reading →

On a Hunt for #EqualCanada at Boston Pizza #CBias

Tonight I took my two young kids out for dinner by myself. I was feeling brave because typically my 3 year old doesn’t do too well in restaurants! We chose Boston Pizza as our destination. As I started driving out of our neighbourhood, I realized that I was heading in the opposite direction of the newest Boston Pizza that is close to our house. I took a slight detour and we were on route to a fairly new Boston Pizza location. When we arrived, the restaurant was completely empty. We were greeted by some very eager and friendly staff and … Continue reading →
