How many questions do you get asked in a day? My count right now has to be close to 100. Inquisitive, curious kids are fabulous – though, truth be told, exhausting. While I have been known to respond with the day-dreamy “yep” in the car after responding to 38 questions about clouds, I really do…

Locally Grown in Ontario!
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of SUBWAY® Restaurants. All opinions are 100% mine. I have some wonderful news to spread and am eager to partner with SUBWAY® Restaurants to do so. But first, as always, a brief (not so brief) story … As you might recall, we had wanted to…

DIY Light Table that is Easier than Easy to Make!
I had been thinking about making a DIY light table for years. Literally years. I am not sure why I wasn’t making it, really – they look so cool – and I found some super easy tutorials online too. But for years we remained a light table-less family. Sigh. Those poor deprived kiddos of mine….
Make a Treasure Chest!
Do you have a little collector or two at home? I sure do.

As you may now, March of Dimes helps parents with premature babies and works to research prevention of premature births. With hundreds of thousands of premature babies born every year, support for the…

The conversation about how much firewood we should have always goes something like this: “I think 6 cords really would be enough. The neighbours have…
