I was staring inside the freezer pondering what to make for dinner the other night and had this sudden explosion of feeling fortunate. I looked around me at my kids playing outside, the clean air, the fresh water, and opportunity […]
I have done enough crazed holiday shopping to know that it never works out well. That last minute run to the mall, the battle with the hoards of shoppers on "sale" days and hauling bags …
Our kids LOVE making iced sugar cookies. The cookie cutters, the decorating, the whole thing is a tasty craft project (that means TONNES of mom time) But what to do with that glob of over rolled, …
With iced up mornings and cold floors and a constant fire burning this week, I keep thinking back to last year at this time. Last year, our two weeks in St Lucia with kids (thanks to …
We never make a big deal about the grownups for the holidays, but every now and then if there is something special on the list it arrives under the tree. This fall I fell in love …

Ariel has always been our favourite, especially the hubby. With two little girls in the house and Disney movies on the go and princess twirling in our imagination, the conversation had to come up eventually. DD: …
