Eva loves to bake, and both girls love making videos, so the concept of Eva’s Kitchen was a very natural evolution. Shot and edited on Liv’s old iPod (she uses iMovie), the first episode finds Eva in our kitchen baking chocolate overload cookies (one of the recipes/ingredient kits that she was given by my mom […] Read more…
I’ve been on the lookout lately for interesting celebrity quotes to share, and I love this one from Jessica Biel in Hello Canada, when asked in what ways motherhood has changed her (she and husband Justin Timberlake are parents of two-year-old son Silas): I think becoming a mother has changed everything. When you […] Read more…
It’s back-to-school time, and parents and kids are abuzz with preparations: stocking up on school supplies, choosing new outfits, and even dreaming about Pinterest-perfect lunchboxes. More important than all of this, however, is making sure that our kids stay healthy this school year, which includes keeping them up-to-date on their vaccinations. There are […] Read more…
Going to the Lindsay Ex has been a tradition for us since before we even had kids (my husband has been going his whole life), and my girls are already talking about how excited they are for this year’s festivities (September 20th to 24th) – it’s something to look forward to and a nice reward […] Read more…
While I have been to Global’s The Morning Show in Toronto in the past, and visited the Corus Building on a fun behind-the-scenes with my girls last summer, today was my first time on-air (video at end of post)! It was a real pleasure to meet Carolyn Mackenzie and Liem Vu and to share my […] Read more…
It’s more fun to share screen time with someone else, especially when you’ve found a fantastic show or movie. It’s not always easy to convince our loved ones to join us though…so if you’re anything like me, you have to go to a bag of persuasive tricks, whether for your kids or your significant other!

As the daughters of a blogger, my girls tend to get excited when parcels show up on our doorstep…because quite often it means they are going to be reviewing products! This time, however, I was excited too…because moms (and teachers!) also deserve some back-to-school goodies, and they arrived in a box from Canadian Tire! First […] Read more…
We all worry about our kids’ health. Cold and flu, cuts and bruises are all normal parts of childhood that we stay on top of. But how often do you think about your child’s back health? Research shows that more than half of younger Canadians experience at least one episode of low back pain by […] Read more…
If you’ve never taken the kids to Bingemans in Kitchener, you should definitely add it to your list! First, they have a great campground, with lots of trailer and tent spots if that’s your jam. I’m not much of a camper, so I was excited to learn that they also had cabins, and we took […] Read more…
I have a special place in my heart for Laurie Gelman, author of the hilarious new novel Class Mom. When I had just launched This Mom Loves and was trying to establish my Momterview feature, Canadian-born Laurie was kind enough to oblige (at that time, she had just finished hosting The Mom Show). I didn’t […] Read more…
