Kids fashion, my little obsession
Let me start off by acknowledging the fact that I have a problem, I have 2 guilty pleasures which take up quite a bit of my Pinterest browsing. These are makeup and kids fashion. I’m by no way a fashionista or expert, I am merely a Mommy who loves following whats in and out for kids. I also don’t always follow these or run out and buy what Harpers Bazaar says is in. I do however like looking at whats out there and drawing some inspiration with my own kids. Shopping for boys can sometimes be so hard, there is definitely not the variety available as wide for boys that…

Getting crafty these holidays
Seeing as though the holidays are almost here I thought I’d do a fun post on various arts and crafts activities you could do with your kids during this period which will not break any budget and which the kids will enjoy! Also great to do over weekends when the rain keeps you indoors. Lets face it, kids don’t like walking around a shopping centre and if they’re anything like mine then they’ll appreciate doing a hands on activity so much more! This will also keep both Mom and Dad sane when cabin fever sets in. Enjoy getting crafty! 1. DIY balloon bowl Definitely something we will be doing in…

Please and Thank You
Remember, please and thank you these are the magic words, if you want nice things to happen it’s the words that must be heard… Anyone else know this kids song? Its from Barney. Well raising our boys with manners, is one of the non-negotiables in our family and in our home. Simple you may say, or obvious you may think BUT it actually is VERY hard and takes WORK. We, I think, have pretty awesome boys. They behave well most of the time (the acting out is normally just in the confines of our home when only Carl and I are witness to it), they say their please’s and thank…

The Father
Growing up I always looked to my Dad as my hero, the provider, the head of our Spiritual home, the protector, my supporter. I think that this is what most little girls do, they love them through the good and the bad. We put them on a pedestal and when we look at them we think “My Daddy”. But as we grow older we see their flaws, we see their raw emotions and in my case we see them at their weakest. Slowly they move lower and lower off that pedestal. We learn things about them, we fight with them, we get angry, we blame them, we go silent, but…

STOP Pinning START doing
Let me start out in saying that I’m OBSESSED with Pinterest! There, now that that’s out of the way let me get to the point. Its good to have a hobby, actually GREAT and as a Mom we very rarely find time to schedule some us time and focus on our little crafty projects (if that’s your hobby) or gym or whatever it is. So we turn to Pinterest and pin away happily and have these wonderful visions and ideas in our minds of all the lovely things we’d like to make and do. Some on our own, some involving the kids, others for our home. And as the list…
