Oh yes, I’m on the hunt. A full on obsessive, all consuming, dreamer kind of a hunt. I’m a Mama on the lookout for a summer cottage rental! What? Too soon? As a kid I was lucky enough to spend every weekend swimming in a crystal clear lake, driving a boat, fishing and playing in the woods. My sister and… View Post
The countdown is on! Be careful my friends, if you are anything like me, before you know it, Christmas will be here. Are you ready? I’m not! I’ve started to haul out the decorations and we picked out our tree this weekend, but beyond that I am so not prepared. It’s okay though, that’s how I roll! This is just… View Post
It is the best of times, it is the worst of times…it’s real life with kids. A girlfriend asked me what life with kids is really like, the honest truth. Does it really change things? Um. Yes, yes it does. And so the flashbacks and all too honest snippets began. Prepare yourself. This is what it is really like surviving… View Post
I don’t want to jinx it, but this weather is kind of freaking me out! Yesterday it was gloomy, raining and foggy, but it was 10 degrees! My Hubby even went golfing, you know, just because he could.

One of the things I adore most about Christmas is the excuse to have get together with friends and family, and of course this means those road trips far and wide. What I don’t enjoy…the long drives with two little ones in the back seat asking “Are we there yet?” After countless road trips over the past 13 years, I… View Post
I am not a Doctor. I don’t make professional recommendations on major lifestyle changes, eating habits or exercise; it’s just not my shtick. What I do know, that I must share my Husbands experience with a product that has quite simply changed his life. For the past twenty plus years? Maybe even longer? My Hubby has suffered from the most… View Post
Today I made a jump on my Christmas shopping. Hey, it’s not even December yet, for me this is EARLY! I dragged my butt out of my warm and cozy house and headed to Canadian Tire to pick up a little something that has been on a certain someone’s wish list for two whole years. (now that is all I’m… View Post
Confession: There are a few things in life that I am not very good at. One of these is Window Shopping. When I head out and see something I adore, I pull out the plastic and I CHARGE IT! Gail Vaz-Oxlade of To Debt Do Us Part would have a field day with me! One thing I am good at… View Post
The weather guy is all doom and gloom. “The snow is coming.” “Get out those winter boots and have your shovels ready!” “We can expect a high of minus 5 degrees Celsius tomorrow.” It’s enough to make a sun seeker like me want to puke! So what do I do? I curl up next to a fire, open up my… View Post
