Happy Friday! After coming back from Toronto and presenting at Blogpodium (it was great!) we went apple picking and had such a great time. If you get a chance you should go as well, it’s a really nice fall activity. Now I’m looking for apple recipes so we can use the 20lbs of apples we …

Last weekend we went camping and overall we had a great time, despite me being cold and not being able to sleep. I’m not a big fan of camping, but the kids have so much fun that I succumb once or twice a year and head on out to the woods. I actually enjoy all …

And it’s August already. Summer is slipping through our fingers and I want it to stop! With the kids being away this week, I took the opportunity to tidy their rooms and the playroom. I took everything off every shelf and out of every bucket. Anything that was damaged was thrown out, things they had …

In two weeks we are heading to the ocean! I can’t wait to smell the salt air, feel sand between my toes and hear the waves crashing on the beach. The kids are seeing the ocean next week already when they visit their grandparents with their dad. Sigh… In anticipation of going away, I’ve been …
