Memory Making

Traditionally, Labour Day weekend coming up is a family’s last hurrah before diving into the school year. Most kids are back at school already but receive a four-day week to start, thanks to Labour Day. This long weekend, I have five really fun activities for you to choose from to…

Today was the first day back to school for my boys. Everything was pretty relaxed, and easy to get together this year, and it felt good. We didn’t need a slew of shopping trips for new clothes, they had what they needed. We bought them new runners earlier in the…

It’s fair to say that if you were a child born in the late seventies to early eighties in Canada, you knew and adored the musical trio phenomenon, Sharon, Lois and Bram. Not only are they the OGs of children’s music, but they were everywhere: on the radio, on our…
