#Mamalife

Social media makes it easier than ever to keep in touch with family and old friends, colleagues, and acquaintances. We can share status updates, photographs, and milestone events. However, are we sharing TOO much? This is officially the first day of school for many children in Canada. It’s about a…

I am the typical mama. I make appointments for the children. I make sure they have their teeth cleaned, their annual check-ups, and their vaccinations done on time. If they have a scratchy throat, a sore ear, or a fever, I’m on it. When they get hurt playing sports or…

It’s a place I visit often. I pin, I post, and I search everything. Whether it is a recipe for dinner, how to craft up slime with the boys, or what natural ingredients make the best cleaning products, it’s all there. Pinterest is my go-to place to find anything and…

It was a late winter night as we approached the country house. The boys were sound asleep in the car as we began to empty bags and bring them inside. We tried to keep quiet as we brought in the groceries, the luggage and all their special treasures, stepping in…
