We are a family that LOVES music. In fact, Paul and the boys just recorded their own song for me and made a CD so I can listen in the car to their lyrics and incredible rapping skills! When Jayden was younger, we would set up our living room like a concert hall. We would love watching him dress […] Read more…
Summer is here and while I’m slowly adjusting to life on thyroid medication, it turns out that in addition to some lovely side-effects, my new bedtime is 9pm! The up side to this of course, is that I have a great excuse to crawl into bed and grab the remote to watch some of my […] Read more…
Last week’s Prince HitnRun concert in Toronto just reinforced that music was just incredible in the 90s.

Our July 1st traditions also mean the official beginning of summer at my parent’s house in Fenelon Falls. Their […] Read more…
I had such a great time at the Netflix StreamTeam Advance Screening of the Orange is the New Black: Season Two that I wanted to throw my own OITNB party with some of my great girlfriends! We were all ‘allowed’ to watch up to episode 3 of the second season before our party, so that […] Read more…
You already know that the kids and I have been making our way through the 9 seasons of “The Facts of Life” on Netflix and that it would not be uncommon for Jayden to be singing that theme song as he goes about his day, but in breaking “Throwback TV” news, THIS happened the other […] Read more…
Since turning off the lights during Earth Hour on March 29th, we’ve continued the dialogue about Earth Day (April 22nd) and conserving energy in our family. With the boys learning about saving electricity in science this month, we’ve created four family goals to all pitch in and make a difference in our own house! Our […] Read more…
