With not enough time to shop, prep and cook we fall back on easy meal ideas like tacos, pasta and summer barbecues. Not great, we know. Especially since our kids’ schools and daycares also stick to a pretty tight routine of pizza, pasta, hamburgers and fish sticks.

An 8-year-old girl went to her grandfather,

who was working in the yard and asked him,

responsibilities of intercourse.

When he finished explaining, the little girl was

looking at him with her mouth hanging [...]

Here’s how it all went…..

The other night when [...]

Kids bored? Break out the kids board games! While the sun is shining on most summer days it’s inevitable that rain will pop into the forecast once in a while. Just like the rain is good for the flowers in our garden, it’s a nice break for our kids, from the heat and all the bumps, cuts and scrapes that come along with outdoor play.

With plenty of options to fill up rainy days like going to the movies, hitting the [...]

Have you ever traveled with a newborn? It’s a shitty experience… literally.  I’ll tell you why.  When my son was born my husband and I moved home to Montreal from the UK but decided that it would be a good idea to travel around the world for 3 months to “see the world”… with a 10 month old. Now I will confess that we booked our plane tickets while I was pregnant so I had NO idea if this was [...]
