I don’t know what his name is. Maybe it’s Peter or Jake or Brandon. It’s his first day of school. And the excitement is radiating out of him. He has been waiting for this day for as long as he…
In two days my daughter starts school. Even when I type it and read it back I have a hard time wrapping my head around this fact. My little girl is going to school. Is she ready for it? Yes…
Ok let’s just get this out of the way right now – Mac & Cheese WITH Coconut Milk? Yes! I know your skeptical. It doesn’t really sound like it would work. But it does. Wonderfully. It’s rich and creamy and…
I have been thinking about creating an Indian inspired potato salad for some time now. Potatoes are such an important part of Indian cuisine that it just seemed like a natural fit. So when I learned my challenge this month…
I love Twitter. I think it may be my favorite social platform. Twitter is quick, easy and to the point. Sometimes it can be a challenge getting your point across in 140 characters (or less if you include an image)…
I can’t believe that we are more than half way through summer already. It’s been an amazing summer though. Last year it was cold and rainy and so short. This year we’ve had some really nice weather and although the…

In less than two short weeks my little girl will be climbing into the school bus for the very first time and heading off to kindergarten! I’m still trying to wrap my head around this. Where did those five years…

We barbecue a lot in the summer. The truth is we use the grill all year long but it’s a lot more fun when it’s not -40 outside. We are a family of foodies and always enjoy trying different things…
How is your summer going? Have you been making the most of the warm weather by getting out and getting moving? Summer always seems so short here in Canada that I think most of us try our best to make…
Well July is almost over which means we are smack dab in the middle of summer. I don’t know about you but our family has already managed to make some pretty great summer memories. But we aren’t done! When you…
I use to read a lot. Settling back and getting into a good book was my “me time”. And then I had a kid. And now, well I still read, but my reading now is more for my daughter’s pleasure…
I can remember six years ago, right around the time we got married and started trying to start a family, like it was yesterday. Making the decision to start a family is a huge one. I happened to be 37…
