We’re back to regular programing around here. Routine is good for us all, I find. While I loved having no schedule, time off work and loads of time to “just be”, lots of time indoors because of the extreme cold had us all going a bit insane. I always find the end/beginning of the year is such a reflective time – what’s happened over the
Happy New Year, guys! We had our usual seafood dinner, dance parties and kiddy countdown last night, and the struggle to make it to midnight was real. Andrew woke up 20 seconds before midnight, we did a quick toast and went to bed. Low key, a little crazy, a lot of loud, and kinda how we roll most days. Today was finally less silly cold
Sometimes I think it would be nice to get dolled up and dance the night away at an adults-only event with Andrew on New Year’s Eve, but really, there’s no place I’d rather be then home with my babes squeezing out the last moments of the year together, even if it gets a little (okay a whole lotta) crazy.

Well, we are pretty proud Canadians, who believe in living with a spirit of generosity and kindness, and keeping our family values central to all we do.
It is my hope, that even through what can become the hustle and bustle, over-doing, magic-making of the holidays, remembering the reason for the season will be at the heart of our family time. On November 17th, SONY Pictures Animation releases a heart-warming film about the greatest story ever told – the very first Christmas. The cast is “star”-studded, including Patricia Heaton, Oprah Winfrey, Tyler
I’m going to be really honest – the last month has been overwhelming and kinda knocked me off my productivity rails. Among all the regular crazy of our large crew, the start of hockey season and still trying to find my groove back at my day job, there’s been what seem like unending, unexpected stressors that are weighing on my spirit. Having so many things
Blogging has been a great outlet and endeavour, but can also feel lonely and isolating at times. Getting out to network and learn more about the industry is not only rewarding from a growth perspective, but to get out of the blogger bubble once in a while and interact with some incredible people in the digital realm.

If you’ve followed our “Things We Love” series on the blog, you’ve heard me talk of my love for (or slight obsession with) the film “Dirty Dancing”.
