We’ve been east and we’ve been south, but until now my husband and I had never traveled to western Canada. (Yes, I realize I left out a cardinal direction, but unless I get invited to Santa’s actual workshop that one isn’t high on my list.) A few months ago, we decided that to celebrate our […] Read more…
Warning: this is my *cheesiest* post yet! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!) My loyal readers know that I am very discerning when it comes to brand partnerships. I receive tons of pitches that range from not-quite-a-fit to wildly-inappropriate, and I don’t hesitate to decline…a lot.

My husband and I are proud graduates of the Queen’s University Faculty of Education (the Trent/Queen’s Concurrent program), so what better place to take the girls for a mini-break than the beautiful city of Kingston, Ontario? We started our visit with some creative fun at Crockadoodle. The girls each chose an item of pottery from […] Read more…
If there’s anything worse than the “What’s for dinner?” question it’s “What’s for breakfast?” It’s worse because it’s often asked in an angry, you-just-woke-me-up voice, because the response is usually followed with “I don’t want (insert reasonable breakfast food here)” and because, well, it’s asked in the morning.
