Summer Meals Simplified with Summer Fresh We’ve just enjoyed our first Canadian long weekend of Summer up at the family cottage. While the lakeside views and crisp fresh air are unlike any other, let’s be real, cottaging with kids is A LOT of work. Two full days of prepping and packing and a whole lot of extra to think about once you’re up there
It’s hard to believe March is almost over…MADNESS! We’re prepping for our family vacay and have been busy with Hockey wind-downs – the boys going straight from the rink-life to BBall courts! Our big guy just made the school Basketball team (#proudparents), and to celebrate, we’re gifting one of you a 3-pack of tickets to see The Harlem Globetrotters World Tour in Toronto on April

With a lighter hockey schedule this weekend, and finally clearing out the flu bug that plagued our littles last week, #DadChef and I had fun cooking up our Valentine’s Day recipe we’ve been promising you guys.

After a few weeks of indulging to the max (it was the holidays…we celebrated, and that entails ZERO guilt or punishment), it felt good to get back to healthy eating this weekend. And since you know how much I love sharing cooking hacks, I will declare my new-found love of sheet-pan cooking! After weeks of drooling over recipes in the LCBO Food & Drink
Soulpepper Theatre Company celebrates the joy of the holiday season with its fifth annual Family Festival, starting in December. The big boys, Nana & I had such a wonderful time attending A Christmas Carol at the Festival last year and look forward to returning in a few weeks time to see Peter Pan. Located in its multi-venue home the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in
Tis’ the season to be overwhelmed…I mean jolly 😉 but amidst the busyness of it all, nothing feels as good or perspective setting as giving back.

The longer I’m on this blogging journey, the more important it has become to be involved with projects that reflect our core values and build those into the work I put out and the partnerships we align with.
