I’m In The Picture (week 7)

In light of the tragic events in Newtown CT on December 14th I immediately wanted to scoop up my 4 children and hold them in my arms for the rest of their lives. We couldn’t help but spoil them this weekend so yesterday we took them to see Wreck-It Ralph at the movie theatre in the afternoon and today we … Continue reading

I’m In The Picture (week 6)

The tree is up and the kids are 100% responsible for the decorating of it. It was so nice to hear them talk about the school-ones and the baby’s-first year ones. They look forward to seeing all these little memories hanging on the tree. It might not be Martha Stewart but it’s beautiful just the same.  

I Win At The Mall Santa Visit

I think that with a 3 year record I can safely say that I win at going to see Santa at the mall. In a perfect world going to see the “big guy” with the kids should be magical. They write their Christmas wish lists. They get dressed up in their cutest coordinating outfits (that Mommy lays out for them) … Continue reading

Today I Hide

So this is how today went for me…I got up feeling unrested. The sun doesn’t come out. The sky is a grey, dull colour. I go thru the morning routine of getting kids fed, dressed and packed to go to the school bus all while fighting the urge to go back to my room and lock the door and crawl … Continue reading

Life Is Good #99

I never ever get bored of this view. My kids go to school just outside of the city limits and when I drive out to pick them up on occasion, this view takes my breath away every single time. I may complain about the long winter months in Canada but at least in Calgary we get a lot of sun … Continue reading

Dirty Dishes: Weekly Meal Plan #3

Ok, I didn’t intend for this to turn into a weekly meal planning thing but as long as you’re interested, I’ll keep it up. So that being said, here’s what we’re having for dinner this week.   Monday Slow Cooker Chicken Cacciatore (purists are going to think this recipe is a total cheat but let me tell you, it’s worth … Continue reading

The Elf Cometh

I know it’s only the middle of November and I should just calm the eff down but I got a reader request to write about Christmas traditions. Tradition by definition is a long-established custom or belief that has been passed on. Every family has a tradition that is passed on from generations before but I think it’s equally important to … Continue reading

I’m In The Picture (week 5)

Ok, I’m all caught up on this project. I never thought taking a simple picture of me with the kids would be so much work. It just goes to show how important this project really is and how easy it is to NOT be in the picture.  

I’m In The Picture (week 4)

Telling the kids to “clean up” can sometimes turn into dumping and playing. I think it’s time for a pre-Christmas purge. What do you think? (a week late, I know. It’s been stressful around here but I’m still on it.)  

Dirty Dishes: Weekly Meal Plan #2

I’m really happy that so many of you read, liked and even tried some of the recipes that I posted in my last meal plan. Thanks for the feedback! As long as you guys let me know you want me to post more, I will do my best to post my meal plans and recipes. I’m also working on building … Continue reading
