Dempster’s Lunchbox Inspirations

in Everyday on

Mini Lunches for my Mini Me’s I’ve been honoured to be part of the Dempster’s Lunchbox Inspiration program. A place we can all go to when we hit that wall. You know the one, the “sandwiches for lunch again Mom?” wall. It’s a hard one to avoid! I’ve been making lunches for my dear daughters for about 8 years now… View Post

My Hubby went away for “work” and all he bought me was a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup.  Oh wait, it weighed A POUND. Did I mention there were TWO of them in that package?

I Am Not Winning Mama Of The Year

Apparently I am the meanest Mama ever, I’ve been pushing my dear daughters buttons… *I will not allow my children to do a little jig at the top of a slide.  Apparently they think there is zero possibility they will fall down from the top of the 7 foot slide and land head first on the cement that surrounds.  I’m… View Post

When I was “young” shh please don’t tell anyone that I’m admitting to feeling pretty ancient today both Hubby and I craved cars that were all flash.  We were after style and speed and not much else.  Now that I’m a Mama, I have to admit I still want style and speed, but you know what else?  I want safety… View Post
