The Power of Positive Praise

This past September, Princess Peach moved from the senior infant room to the pre-nursery room at “school”. With the move comes a whole new set of learning expectations and changes. She is now learning a full nursery-based curriculum. They do circle time, letters, numbers, matching, gross motor, fine motor and religious based activities. It’s wonderful […]

The Never-ending Battle

Breastfeeding. That’s my never-ending battle. With both of my kids it hasn’t been easy. When I was pregnant with Princess Peach there was no doubt in my mind that I would breast feed. I didn’t even buy a bottle, formula or anything related to bottle feeding prior to her arrival. Why would I? I would […]

The “D” word

This post is a much more serious kind of post. I wrote it a long time ago, and have come back it to and edited it many times. I guess now that I’m a parent my priorities have changed and life sometimes isn’t just all about shopping, friends and trendy restaurants anymore 🙂 Death or […]

I have 3 children

Did I scare you? No, I’m NOT pregnant! The Hubster had surgery last Wednesday on his shoulder and his right arm has been immobile in a sling ever since (he is right-handed). This surgery was something that needed to get done. His shoulder popped out of the socket last year while playing hockey. At first […]

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, […]

Wardrobe Scores

I obsess about my kids clothes. No lie. I worry about what they are going to wear, stress about pieces they are missing in their wardrobe and what new outfits we can make with clothes that they have. The Hubster even feels pressured when he dresses the kids (haha i love writing that) because he […]

Toddler Crack

Yes, it’s true. There is such a thing as toddler crack. Have you heard of it before? Can you guess what it is? Before I even give you a clue, let’s see if you know what it is……… Ok here are 3 clues: 1) The sister is annoying  (that should give it away) 2) They […]

Sometimes you just have to laugh

We are now officially 6 weeks into our “newish” routine and things are getting better-ish. I use “ish” because there are some kinks everyday but that is to be expected at this point. Some days are better than others and some days I feel like I could cry….although I have yet to cry! So maybe […]

Getting Inspired at Blissdom Canada #BlissDomCa

At 6 months pregnant I signed up for BlissDom Canada. People on my Twitter feed were talking about it so, I looked into it on the website. It seemed interesting and something I might like to do. So obviously I bit the bullet and bought a ticket. I had no clue what I was getting into. How could I especially […]
