Clean socks are a privilege, not a right
When we were at Disneyland for the Mickey and Magical Map debut in the Spring, Tara would only look at Merida from a distance. Which was probably just as well due to the HUGE crowds lined up to speak to her. Her head may have exploded if she had seen Rapunzel too. We watch Tangled […]
I will freely admit to not liking the new CFL bulbs. I get the energy saving, eco and money saving, but I don’t like purchasing something that I have to be so careful with to dispose of and also to have around me kids. Lets not even mention how harsh the light is on them, no […]
Okay, I am a terrible chicken when it comes to people jumping out at me. Add that to rides that scare me, this is a bad combination. However, for my son…this is magic. Unfortunately he is 11 and apparently Fright Nights at Playland are REALLY scary. What about you? Do you like to be […]

HOWEVER, Ariel is her and has always been her favourite princess. The Ariel ride was her absolute favourite at Disneyland too, […]
While I actually enjoy cooking, I HATE coming up with meals for my family. I hate the effort for what seems like very little return apart from a few grunts that could mean either they loved it or hated it. I find it a CHORE. Needless to say when I am feeling inspired I look […]
My son will hate this post. I am having a hard time with grade 6 so far. Okay. I am having a hard time with the creation of this boy who seems to be at the centre of the social swirl. I have hardly seen my son since school started. At the moment, […]
