It’s Dance Recital Week…..arguably the busiest week of the year for me. It started tonight with Jonah’s preschool concert {last one ever}, and continues with dress rehearsals for dance Tuesday and Wednesday, and follows up with performances Thursday night, Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night. I also have a baby shower to attend thursday night and another I am helping plan for Sunday afternoon. Busy but super exciting week. As a result, my blogging will be minimal…but instead of…
I first discovered Jill-e Designs last Fall while doing some computer work {ie google searches, blog reading, online shopping, etc.} and was thrilled when they contacted me in March to do a review. I mean, I do have a fabulous camera bag, but the truth is there are SO many awesome options out there – I want to check them all out.…
Years ago, thanks to a good friend, my love for adorable stationary began. I was constantly buying cute notepads and cards and other paper products to send little notes to friends. It sort of became an addiction of mine – and in fact just a year ago, I finally finished off the last of my collection started over 10 years ago. I admit, part of that is because sending these little notes has taken a back seat {thanks to facebook…
I didn’t like bacon at all {can you imagine?} until our son was born. To get a little personal, I really had to struggle a lot to keep my milk supply up {something I did not have a problem with when our daughter was a baby}. I was eating all sorts of things, trying to see what helped, and strangely noticed a rather large improvement after having a homemade bacon and egg sandwich. Bacon became a go to item for…
Do you remember my post last November where I discussed not having any shoes? I really didn’t….though luckily our winter was so incredible I was able to wear my flip flops most of the time. #solucky But of course, every Canadian knows it won’t always be this way and I’m going to need to invest in some winter-appropriate footwear. In that post I discussed my fondness for some boots from a certain well known company. And I do love them,…

My Favorite Things To Build Memories #Hasbronews #fishertoys #thestep2company
You might remember THIS post where I talked {for the hundredth time lol} about how much I love holidays – and why. And how I really love the idea of putting them as one of our family and financial priorities, instead of on THINGS. STUFF. But, there are some companies out there whose products I LOVE and think are must-haves and really help facilitate some amazing memories. Because, let’s face it, we can’t holiday ALL the time {bummer}.…
Sitting in the condo over Easter break, enjoying some RnR after a fun and busy day of shopping and swimming, a commercial came on. We all snickered a little at the kid versions of popular hit songs – while our kids immediately began singing along and moving to the beat. And every time the commercial came on we were met with serious begging to purchase the product. Little did my kids know that I had one coming for review.…
This was originally intended for Friday, but Jonah had a birthday party to go to and our morning was spent getting groceries and birthday gifts. Saturday also involved a birthday party that resulted in a fun cousin sleepover {our house} with lots of playing and crafts. So it became today’s *fun activity*…
