It is important to take a minute or two as often as you can to think about the people that are most important in your life. Better yet, let them know how important they are by creating your own unique video (it is SUPER easy and takes less than a minute) to send to them. It sometimes takes seconds, but when we reach out to our friends and our family, it can mean so much to them! In today’s world, we live such busy lives.

After School Checklist

The school year is now well under way. We have had a couple of weeks now, to figure out our after school routine. Have YOU figured out an after school routine that works for you and your family? Once you have found an after school routine that works for you, you will notice that your children may be more calm and have less meltdowns. My son is very prone to meltdowns, he often has a hard time regulating himself, especially when he is tired or has been sitting still for a long time at school. I have found that when … Continue reading →

Easy Peach Crisp

Earlier this week, I published my Simple Apple Crisp Recipe for you to try out. Peach crisp is another wonderfully easy dessert to make. All it takes is a bit of labour to peel the peaches and it can be thrown together in a matter of minutes after that. There is no trick to baking it, other than burning it (just keep your eye on your oven after 20 minutes have passed), there really is NOTHING that you can do wrong with this dish. So if you aren’t a baker and would like to try a dessert, this would be … Continue reading →

Pringles Tortillas Giveaway

I’ve always been a huge fan of Pringles chips! They make a wonderful guilty pleasure snack. I love the way they come stacked in a can. I love the way they taste AND I love the way they are sturdier than other chips which makes them great for dipping. However, Pringles has now come out with Tortilla Chips and the big debate is: Do you need to dip them? Traditionally tortilla chips are for dipping, but I have to say that I have not needed to dip these chips as they are full of delicious flavour all on their own. … Continue reading →

Apple Crisp

For me, Apple Crisp is such a simple, yet incredible dessert in the Fall. Wouldn’t you agree? The experience of picking the apples off of the tree, peeling and slicing the apples and mixing the crisp topping is so wholesome. There is nothing like the smell of freshly picked apples in the fall. Perhaps it is the memory of apple picking at my Grandparents’ apple orchard or the LOVE for fall with the crisp breeze and the sunny days. Perhaps Apple Crisp is a dessert that I remember fondly from my childhood. I honestly don’t know what it is, but … Continue reading →

Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread

When I was younger, my Mom used to call Zucchini bread, “Christmas Bread”. Somehow, giving it a fun name made my sister and I much more willing to give the bread a try AND we loved it! With my children, I really wanted them to learn from a very young age that zucchini was a delicious vegetable option and while we don’t eat it plain as a vegetable, I do add it to baking all of the time. So, I was up front with them when I served them zucchini muffins or Chocolate Chip Zucchini Banana Bread and told them … Continue reading →

Muffins are a favourite snack in our house. In fact, they aren’t just a snack, we eat them for breakfast, lunch, snacks and sometimes dinner! I find muffins are very easy to make and they are a tasty, preservative free snack that I feel good about serving to my children.
