I love to read…and, I love reading to my kids…now especially, I love listening to my daughter read. It’s pure magic. Not to mention how amazing it is to get taken into the land of make believe with every story told- I really believe it’s where dreams first begin. The magic of possibility, don’t you agree? So when I was offered the opportunity for my kids to review advance copies of the AdoraPet Children’s Books, I couldn’t resist. The only…
I’ve been a fan of Frecklebox since my daughter was sent her very own personalized book just over 2 years ago. We still love that book and I know that Brooklyn just loves seeing her name in print (especially since she started reading a year and a half ago). When I received an e-mail telling me about their new *Not Yet* Personalized Book, I had to post about it. It immediately made me think of a friend who is due…
My kids are just like their mama….they LOVE stationary. Often one or both of them can be found drawing little pictures or writing notes to each other, their friends, or, my favorite…ME! 🙂 When the opportunity came up to review stationary from Smilegram Paper I knew this was something they would LOVE! So I set to work trying to pick the design they would both like…The Fun Jumpin’ Froggies did the trick! Not only do they love the paper…
A few years ago I read a blog post about the writer’s *word for the year*. Having really liked the idea, I decided to adopt the idea for myself. Since then, I have done just that….choosing a word that represented something I wanted more of in my life or wanted to work on – such as my word last year which was, Simplify. What’s interesting about that is last year was anything but Simple. In fact the past two years…
Well, after the library portion of our date, we set off to our local Cupcake Cafe – which unfortunately was closed….so we continued on to the next best thing….TIM HORTONS! My kids LOOOOOVE it…though you’d probably be humoured to know it’s not because of the donuts, but rather, the bagels (so good). Because I am really trying to get my act together and go back to being Gluten Free, I ordered pretty much the only thing on the menu that…
Today brought a unique opportunity for me to be able to spend time with JUST Brooklyn. Since she’s in school full time and of course we have Jonah too, it’s not something that happens very often so I wanted to make sure to maximize on the opportunity. We dropped Jonah off at preschool and set out to do a few errands (bank, clothing donation, and dropping stuff to the second hand store for hopeful buy out….just in case you’re wondering)…then…
While packing for our holiday to the Mayan Riviera (where we stayed at the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort), I saw my adorable flip flop Bra Barrette and knew I couldn’t leave it behind, particularly because I had just purchased two t-back tank tops for the trip. It did not disappoint and I was thrilled with how it fit, how comfortable it was, AND of course that it hid my bra straps so perfectly. I don’t personally love the look of…
