Easter’s almost here and the kids are getting excited about all the candy that the Easter Bunny is going to be bringing them…oh goodie. Okay, so I’m a little less thrilled about the whole candy thing than they are. It’s not that I don’t like candy, but it seems like we are bombarded with sugary…

Cheesy Shells with Broccoli
It’s spring break, and I’m taking the week off work to spend time with my kids. Since I want to spend as much time as possible with them instead of in the kitchen, I’m going to be making a lot of simple, easy, kid-friendly meals this week. This recipe is one of our favourites. My…
Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast
French toast has always been one of Cole’s favourite foods. His tastes have changed a lot over the years, but his affinity for this delicious breakfast treat has remained consistent. In fact, he loves French toast so much that he’ll often request it for dinner. Sometimes, if I’m feeling particularly nice (or lazy), I’ll oblige….
Cheering on Team Canada with Yoplait {Giveaway}
It’s hard to believe the 2014 Winter Olympics are just around the corner. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that our city of Vancouver hosted the winter games in 2010. Has it really been almost 4 years? I hunted down photos from that exciting time and was surprised how young my boys…
Cakes Under the Influence
Monday was my birthday. Bennett gets really excited about birthdays, and had been counting down the days until my big day. When it finally came, he wished me happy birthday as soon as he got up. Then he sang me “Bonne Fete” just like he learned in his french immersion class. When he got to…
Rest, Relaxation & Reiki {Giveaway}
If you read my post about a day in my life, you know that my life is pretty busy right now with three little ones. That was actually a really good day, and luckily I have many of those days where things run pretty smoothly, but there are some days when I feel completely exhausted…
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
When the weather gets colder, I start to crave soup. There’s nothing better than a warm belly full of soup on a blustery day. I love making soup in the slow cooker earlier in the day so we can come home after being out in the cold to the comforting aroma of soup and dig…
Tips for Stress-Free Holiday Meals
I remember the first Thanksgiving meal that I ever prepared by myself. This would have been about 10 years ago, when I was newly married and didn’t know my way around the kitchen very well yet. I had helped my mom prepare turkey dinners before, and she wrote directions down for me on recipe…
First Moments with Cheerios
Ayla will be 8 months old in just another week. I know people always say this, but time really does fly by, doesn’t it? A baby’s first year is so fleeting and filled with so many precious first moments that will never happen again. I do my best to document these moments so I don’t…
Celebrate Your Everyday Moments with Yopa! Greek Yogurt
Sometimes the simple moments in your day deserve to be celebrated. Today I made it out to the grocery store with all three kids without a major meltdown. I say that warrants a little celebration! I like to indulge in a little cheesecake now and then, so I tried Yopa Greek yogurt in “Ooh-la-la! Strawberry…
