Wow, what a turn around 2015 has already been for me and my family. I can’t even believe it myself to be honest. First off we can all agree that while 2014 did yield a positive outcome, it was nothing but a big fat mess right up until the bitter end. I’m so excited to… Continue reading 7 Stages of Moving

How To Be A Good Neighbour
I live in suburbia (for now). As do most of you, I’m sure. I have a fence and a back yard. I have grass that is confetti’d with yellow flowers that are also lovingly displayed on my kitchen counter in a plastic juice cup as a gift from my littles. I have a driveway covered… Continue reading How To Be A Good Neighbour
April Fools
Giddy up y’all. It’s April! Spring is here and well so is the snow. It’s been a slow start to spring and if you’re like me and just about anyone living in Canada, you’re D-O-N-E with winter. Since it’s so close to April Fools day I thought I would do a little wrap up of… Continue reading April Fools
Go Cut Your Hair
Here’s my number one tip for parents everywhere: STOP SAYING “DON’T”! The truth is, our innocent kids have not yet acquired the ability to hear negatives. Don’t touch that, turns into fingerprints. Don’t eat that, turns into teeth marks. Don’t fight with your sister turns into me screaming at them! When one of them tries… Continue reading Go Cut Your Hair
The Joy of Napping
I stopped napping when I was 4 years old, or so I assume anyway. When I had babies I was told over and over again, “nap when the baby naps”, HA, as if. If I napped when the baby napped when would showers be taken? On Sunday, I was overcome with heavy eye… Continue reading The Joy of Napping
Bad Mommy
Oh this is bad. Not like, forgot a birthday bad but bad enough. Hilary, little Hilary, has a few things she considers important in her life. Her blankie that she’s had since she was born that is so full of holes and knots that it resembles something more like sea weed knotted together floating in… Continue reading Bad Mommy
We Ran Out Of Milk
I’ve been trying to get my kids to try different foods since day one. I made spaghetti squash and hoped that they would at least try it. I’ve made lentils, fish, loads of different kinds of veggies and heaven forbid, something green! But today we experienced a miracle in our house, we ran out of… Continue reading We Ran Out Of Milk
Why Abby?
There’s just no point in being mad or yelling when something like this happens. All you can do is laugh because it’s fracking hilarious. And this, my friends, is why I blog. -Why Abby? Why on earth did you cut your brand new pj’s that our elf (on a shelf) brought you for… Continue reading Why Abby?
Christmas Break?
In November I drag my butt thru the days as they get longer and longer. All the after-school activities are in full swing and school is in a good rhythm. But by the time December rolls around and the high shopping season starts and the lists get longer and the weather gets colder and… Continue reading Christmas Break?
Never Say Never
Let me tell you a story about a girl who used to say things. Yeah, she would say things like, “I don’t run”, not even across a parking lot on a cold winter day and years later she has decided that running is actually her workout of choice. She’s worn out 4 pairs of running… Continue reading Never Say Never
