Bright Star KIds has some really fun Wall Art in the form of Removable Stickers that is just perfect for the job! We chose Super Cars Wall … Continue reading →

This post is part of #FDF (Finally Diaper Free), an event all about Potty Training co-hosted by The Knit Wit. As a Mom of twin boys I always tried to tell myself I was never too concerned about potty training. I was on the “it will happen when it happens” side I said, besides, changing a diaper is easier than spending hours in the bathroom with the 2 of them. We did everything we were suppose to – had the potty out all the time, they (still) follow us to the bathroom, tried rewards, tried down playing it, tried no … Continue reading →

Date Night. Two words I only wish I heard more often.  I firmly believe that finding time to connect with your better half is super important, not only for your relationship, but also for raising a happy family together. With small children in the household it isn’t quite as easy as it once was to organize an evening’s worth of one on one time, but it is still definitely a priority. What about you folks; How often do you manage to have date night; Need an excuse to arrange for a little quality time with your sweetheart? Maple Leaf Mommy … Continue reading →
