Giving to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto is something that my family likes to do year round. This past Labour Day, my daughter hosted a Lemonade Stand to raise money to help the children at the hospital. She is five and I was so grateful that she is already starting to learn how important it is to give back. The Holidays is a really excellent time of year to give to the Hospital as it is a very difficult time for the children and their families. Every child deserves to have a smile on their face on Christmas Day. Here … Continue reading

Did you know that smiles are contagious? In my house, they are seriously contagious and one of the many things that I absolutely adore about being home with my kids is that they make me smile just about all day long!
