My boys are turning 6 and 8 in September, can you believe that? They’re getting so big already and can do so much on their own now. I recently came to a life-changing realization: they’re old enough to help with chores! Why are my husband and I doing all the work when we have two…

Back to School with Stuck on You {Giveaway}
How is it possible that summer’s almost over? It always goes by much too quickly. Now I have to start thinking about school supplies, and new clothes, and homework, and after school activities, and packing lunches, and my head feels like it’s going to explode! Luckily, we’re prepared for lunches because Stuck on You provided the…
Counting Sheep Coffee helps you sleep
When I heard about this coffee called Counting Sheep that claims to actually help you fall asleep, I had to try it. You might have noticed that I like coffee a little bit. Okay…a lot. I’d drink it all day long if I could, but unfortunately it keeps me up if I drink it in the evening….
Salmon Burgers #FlavourStory {Giveaway}
One of my favourite memories so far this summer was when the boys caught their very first fish. It was such a thrill for them to feel the tug on the end of the line as the fish grabbed hold of the bait. They were totally enthralled as the fisherman showed them how to reel…
Matcha Cherry Banana Smoothie
I’m still trying to use up all of those cherries that I mentioned in my post about Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins, and I discovered that cherries make delicious smoothies. I’ve also found that Matcha powder is a great ingredient in smoothies. Kiss Me Organics provided me with a package of their Matcha Green Tea Powder…
Grilled Shrimp with Mixed Greens and Maple Vinaigrette #FlavourStory
With the weather heating up, it’s the perfect time to heat up the grill and give the oven a break.

Sadly, we have…

Design Your Own Snack Mix #SummerWithChex
Summer is finally here, and my boys have already uttered the dreaded words “I’m bored” numerous times this past week. I work from home, so I’ve been trying my best to keep them occupied while I’m busy. They spend a lot of time kicking the ball around in the backyard, or if the weather isn’t nice, they’ll be inside playing Minecraft, Lego, or board-games….
Fun Ideas for Thermos Lunches & “Stuck on You” Labels Review
When my maternity leave came to an end a few months ago, Ayla started daycare full-time. I was so worried she was going to have a really tough time, because she was very attached to me and screamed every time I left the room. Well, she completely surprised me! She settled in at daycare without…
Puro Fairtrade Coffee: Saving the Rainforest (and my sanity)
Since having kids, I’ve grown accustomed to broken sleep and early mornings. I’ve learned that kids do not care if you’ve been up most of the night with a teething baby. They need you to serve them breakfast, answer a billion and one questions, help them find their various misplaced items, and do it all without losing your cool. Needless…
