It’s getting so close! Which means my kids are all Christmas, all the time. They want to watch Christmas movies, talk about Christmas, touch the Christmas tree, listen to Christmas music — you name it if it has to do with Christmas you can bet its being talked about, watched, or listened to in our…
Do you ever feel like a certain time of year you are more productive and you take on more projects or are a bit more crafty? I find this is me during the holidays. Christmas brings something different out in me and I love trying to be crafty and trying new things. I love saving money…
Tomorrow is the day! We are putting up our Christmas tree! I am so excited, I cant’t wait to get my decorations up around the house and get the tree ready for Santa! My kids aren’t as excited as I am, which is usually how it goes but we are all looking forward to it….
Halloween is now just a week away, so it’s time to bring out the fun ideas to make the kids lunches a bit more fun, and get them ready for the big day! Halloween is something I have always loved and always tried to make the days leading up to it fun for the kids!…
I can’t believe I’m talking about Thanksgiving already! But, guess what? Monday is Thanksgiving here in Canada! I for one cannot wait because I am craving turkey and all the trimmings so badly! Our last turkey holiday seems like so long ago and after dealing with Gestational Diabetes for the majority of my pregnancy I feel…
We love doing crafts in our house but sometimes things can get boring. We need to really be creative and think of fun things to do to change it up and make it fun for everyone. Being pregnant one of my weaknesses is we live in between two Tim Horton’s donut shops, and often walking…
When May rolls around it’s what we call in our family “Birthday Season” because starting in May we have a Birthday or two every month until October! This month on May 11th, we celebrated Jackson’s 5th Birthday! I still can’t believe he turned 5 it still feels like he’s so much smaller than that, but…
When it comes to having kids you have to be creative. The simple things although often do, sometimes just don’t cut it! When it comes to play dough we go through mountains of it in our house! I mean, mountains! I’ve made plenty of different kinds (here’s one) but sometimes when the kids want to…
Having kids at all different ages and stages can be so fun. I love watching them learn how to colour. My favorite is watching them when they are very young coloring for the first time. Justin, who is 2 loves to scribble. I have noticed though he can sometimes have a hard time with normal…
I’ve always loved making my own play dough. Buying it in store is all good but I find it never lasts. My kids mix them together, they leave the jar opened and it gets hard. So, why not make your own? Be able to replace what gets ruined, and always have some on hand for…
Sometimes I like treating my lips with some delicious lip scrub. But, sometimes I don’t like paying the often crazy prices to do so. As a mom I rarely find time to myself, which means I rarely have time to head to a store, stand around looking for the perfect lip scrubs. During the winter…
Now that I’ve started homeschooling Kyla again we’ve had to really try to find more fun things to do for our art time. I make sure to give her some art time as it’s super cold outside right now and we don’t want to be spending too much time outside – so I figured art…
