Our month long Family Financial Challenge inspired by Gail Vaz-Oxlade #SavingMadeSimple #PGmom

In the last 3 years I have been on 2 maternity leaves. That means 2 out of the last 3 years I have made a percentage of my total income.  I’d like to think that I’ve budgeted and try to be “frugal” (although I’m really horrible at it) but there are some things that I […]

Potty Training Prep

Now that Princess Peach’s bottles are gone thanks to the amazing Bottle Fairies, we have been talking a lot about the Diaper Fairies. You know these little ladies who come at night, collect all the diapers, and give them away to babies who need them? I guess in our house they will be replacing diapers […]

A Rockin’ Time at Kidville

Kidville Toronto Yonge Lawrence Village

A few months ago I shared that Princess Peach and I would be spending 45 minutes for 16 Thursdays at Kidville taking the Rockin’ Railroad music class. I was so excited about this wonderful opportunity. Kidville opened for business in Toronto this past September 2013 and I couldn’t wait to see what it was all […]

Magformers Light Show Review and Giveaway

Princess Peach, for an almost 2.5 year old has a spectacular imagination. She loves playing make-believe with anything she can. We have tea parties with Tupperware, re-enact parts of her favourite sports and music classes and things that happen at school like circle time, getting all the kids to line up and music time. This […]

Growing Connections with the Grain Farmers of Ontario

On Saturday, Princess Peach, Little Dude, my mom and I attended the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. To me it was my first time attending although my mom said I had attended once before as a child. Clearly, I didn’t remember. I really had no idea what to expect. Sure, I knew there would be animals, […]

The new Kid(ville) in town

Fall (crazy, eh?) is around the corner. With that means fall activity programming. Last year with putting Princess Peach in daycare we had minimal programming to do as her days were planned by the daycare. It was a change from her first year of life, as I literally had her programmed daily from the time […]

Beautiful Lengths

I have a love/hate relationship with my hair. When I have it short, I wish it was longer. When it is longer, I wish that it was shorter and easier to manage. See, I’m very lucky to have thick hair but at the same time it’s a lot of work. In the colder months it […]

Fisher Price App-mazing!

Ever since I bought my Iphone I don’t think I have been without it for longer than a few minutes. You can find it beside me when I sleep, in my pocket, sometimes tucked under my bra strap if I don’t have a pocket, in the console of my stroller and usually its found in my […]

A sign of the times

In my field I have worked with many children who have used some basic signs to help aid their communication when they are unable to do so with their voice. So, when Princess Peach was born I knew immediately that we would be signing with her. From birth The Hubster and I have been signing […]
