    Hugs from Dad #WordlessWednesday #Travel #Tremblant

    April 1, 2015 - By 

    I rarely share shots of my spouse here. Why? Because he hates having his picture taken. Sad but true. Husband of blogger hates having picture taken. Honestly. So capturing a nice shot of him on film is a big deal for me. I often point my iPhone at him when we travel and he turns or moves ruining the shot. Early in March we were all invited to Mont Tremblant to visit as a family unit. While we were there, the entire family learned how to ski in two days!! I am super proud of that, in case you couldn’t…

    Kid’s Happy Easter Bookmarks Printable

    April 1, 2015 - By 

    Happy Easter! If you are sharing some books with your children, or your grandchildren, nieces or nephews this Easter, then don’t forget the bookmarks too. I made these Kid’s Happy Easter Bookmarks for you to share. If you are at all like we are, then you are always hunting for a bookmark. Why is it always impossible to find one? Actually true story here. My older daughter was gifted a phone plan (she already had the phone but it wasn’t connected) last summer for her birthday. This March the phone went missing in a house full of readers and crafters.…

    Snorkelling with Stingrays and Nurse Sharks in Belize on the Last Day of the Year

    March 31, 2015 - By 

    It’s the last day of the year, a year that sped by lightning fast, but then again don’t they all? This is how we spent December 31 snorkelling with stingrays and nurse sharks in Belize. It still is etched on our collective hearts as the best way to spend the last day of the year. If You Go, Consider This: In hindsight I wished that I had bought a GoPro HERO4 SILVER before we took our first ever cruise. I had no idea we’d need one out in the ocean, flying along in a jam-packed speedboat on our way to…

    Ten Fun and Creative Easter Crafts

    March 31, 2015 - By 

    Spring weather inspires creativity. I have noticed just this week, in the first days of spring, that I am inspired to start new projects. I have also pitched old contacts new ideas and so on. That makes me feel positive and happy about the change of seasons. Are you noticing the same? Maybe it’s the thinner coats and clothes, but I feel somehow lighter and able to see all the possible wonderful opportunities to create. I am sure my kids are feeling the same in some ways. Lately when I knock on my older daughter’s door I see the sewing…

You can read more about that if you click through to the post from last August. We know that it is almost spring and some people are already starting their summer resort and cottage planning. After all when you live in Canada where we have a mere two months of summer, you need to get accustomed to wringing it for all it is worth. So you plan every last weekend and you map…

    March 30, 2015 - By 

    Who else loves bath bombs? I have teen girls and I can tell you that bath bombs are a massive hit here. But they can also be extremely expensive when you buy them. This year I thought what if we made some DIY Easter bath bombs to put in the Easter baskets? Happy Easter! There’s something about spring that makes me feel creative! I want to bust out the craft materials and the recipes and start building something fresh. Spring is a great time for that, don’t you think? This easy DIY Easter bath bombs recipe is just the thing…

    Happy Easter to you!! After a really long winter it’s time to all take a collective breath and get ready for the nice weather. I am looking forward to sharing a lovely Easter dinner with my family and seeing my nieces and nephews soon. What do you enjoy most about Easter? After the snow clears I like to get some fresh seasonal decorations and flowers out and spread them around the house to make it look fresh and inviting. This year I thought I would also offer my readers a few printables to keep you and the kids busy. This…

    March 27, 2015 - By 

    Easter Bunny Nail Art Tutorial Happy Easter! Well, soon to be Easter! I enjoy Easter as a rule because it is the first spring holiday and a great relief after all the snowy holidays. I love to see family and have a great meal together. And the weather means you can usually visit with a little less drama from the snowy weather. You could actually still ski if you wanted to. In fact I might actually try to sneak away just to do that very thing at some point. But not before we try this Easter Bunny Nail Art Tutorial…

    Easy Easter Bunny Bark

    March 27, 2015 - By 

    My kids love Easter almost as much as they love baking. So combine the two and you have a great way to spend an afternoon. This year we have had a lot of candy melts on hand so I let the kids loose one afternoon in the kitchen recently and this is what they came up with. This easy Easter bunny bark is super easy to make. Tastes pretty good too. I love bark for many occasions. It is easy to make and requires only a few simple ingredients. It’s not fussy at all because you get to break it into…
