On Canada Day, the weather was a bit weird and so as usual, I packed for everything and told the kids to be prepared. Of course there were CANADA duds…but Caity picked this. That is the Sun Day Afternoons Play Hat available from Mountain Baby. It did not leave her head the entire day. The […]
Stain Talk with Dr. Beckmann
People (ok. MOMS) are always interested in hearing about new cleaning products for our clothes, homes, children, etc. So I assume quite a few out there have been interested in this chance to test a new product and with THAT, earn a chance to win an iPad 2!. Dr. Beckmann’s Stain Devils and other household […]
My Own Leaptop
With all the gadgets around the house, the kids have pretty sophisticated tastes when it comes to their electronics. Trying to keep Tara away from my Xoom and iPhone is a full time job.

Will I be pretty, will I be rich
What goombas couldn’t think about what dates there would be a NEW arrival nine months after conception? US. Yes and now all our birthdays line up in a hellish row of planning and overspending. We start with Patrick in April and then rush into the kids May, June and July, and by the time […]

True Cuddles and Crunchy!
I love meeting all the women who blog or blog and run amazing online and offline businesses in the Lower Mainland. The spirit of entrepreneurship is strong in these parts. I also feel that what businesses call ‘networking’ is all just about being a friend and part of a community that supports and reaches out. […]
Beluga Enounters
Adam’s birthday was on the last weekend in May. The big thing he wanted to do was either Whale Watching or the Beluga Encounter at the Vancouver Aquarium. Despite the fact that we couldn’t get him in there for his actual birthday, we went down to the aquarium the following weekend for this […]
We Won!
Thank you to TELUS and to all the people who helped us vote for our choice of the next Telus Critter. Our kids LOVE these commercials. Tara SHRIEKS when we show her the Hippo…THAT is her favorite. Due to the blogger angle that Telus threw into this challenge, and our little Saw-Whet Owl winning, […]
