I love sharing books with my children that deliver heartwarming messages surrounding the holiday season. Holiday Kid Books are a staple in our house year round. My children fight me every year when I try to put their holiday books away for the following year and they often win, resulting in holiday kid books being read year round. There is nothing wrong with that, however, and I am always happy that my children are choosing to read! The Magic Christmas Key, My Snowman and Me and The Hope Tree are three lovely stories published by Pine Tree Publishing. This is … Continue reading →

Holiday Crafts for Kids

Last weekend, my kitchen exploded with Christmas crafts! You see, I store all of our Christmas craft items in a large box and I brought it upstairs. The kids literally took the entire box apart, looking at all of the fun Christmas materials and activities that we have and they started using their imaginations and creating Christmas crafts. It was so much fun to watch them create their own holiday creations using all of the Christmas craft materials that I keep from year to year. Do you keep your old holiday cards, gift wrap, ribbons etc. for your children to … Continue reading →

Abeego Food Wrap

I have been on the hunt for a product that would reduce or better yet, eliminate my need for plastic wrap. Last year, while at the One of a Kind Show in Toronto, my Mom and I discovered Abeego. Abeego makes natural food wraps created from pure beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin infused into a fabric made of hemp and certified organic cotton. It allows food to breathe which slows down the rate of decomposition. Have you ever had a block of cheese that has gone slimy after opening because there is too much moisture? I have been trying … Continue reading →

Do you have a favourite cheese? In our house, our favourite is stretchy and flavourful mozzarella called Mozzarellissima. It is our “go to cheese”! Each of us has our own preferences for how we like to enjoy it best! My son enjoys Mozzarellissima melted on a plate as an after school snack. Yes, you read that right – just melted cheese on its own. It is THAT good! Lately, I have been trying to re-introduce him to melted cheese on crackers… My daughter enjoys a small chunk of cheese to nibble on. I love Mozzarellissima in many of my dinner … Continue reading →

Subscription Box for Kids

It isn’t very often that I come across a Gift Idea that I KNOW every single child would love to receive. What child doesn’t love to receive mail? Do you know one? I certainly don’t. My children ask me every single day when I pick up the mail with them whether or not there is something for them. Curiosity Box is a subscription box for kids! When my son discovered that there was mail for him and not only was it mail, but it was a BOX with his name on it, saying that he was thrilled is an understatement! … Continue reading →

November is World Diabetes Month and in recognition of large number of people who suffer from Diabetes, I am sharing my Low Sugar Banana Muffins with you today.

Last Saturday night, we had a family movie night in our home. I was SO excited to finally be able to watch Mr. Popper’s Penguins! First of all, I absolutely LOVE Jim Carrey, I think he is hilarious, don’t you? Inspired by the classic Newbery Award-winning children’s book Mr. Popper’s Penguins (that I read when I was in GRADE FIVE!!!), this movie was a wonderful story to watch with my children. Putting family first is something that is truly important and this movie captures that idea in a hilarious yet insightful way. Common Sense Media didn’t give this movie the … Continue reading →

yoga wear for girls

I have always been a girl who chooses practical wear over being dressed up. I’m all about comfort. If I can look good and be comfortable all at once, I feel confident and I consider it a success! It is very important to me that my daughter becomes her own person and to express herself freely. Naturally, I would like to influence who she becomes, but it is also very important for her to make her own decisions and choices. Fashion is one of them. My daughter loves bling and glitter, but she also LOVES comfort too! She gets equally … Continue reading →
