    Pretty Parchment Paper Style Vintage Christmas Gift Tags

    December 15, 2017 - By 

    Are you wrapping your gifts already? Then it’s time for the embellishments like these vintage old Christmas gift tags and bookmarks. You know what makes a gift really pop underneath the tree? The tags, bookmarks, ribbons, bows and cute little notes that make the gifts look so much cheerier. Those are my favourites, especially because it’s easy to find great examples of cute Christmas tags and bookmarks all over some of my favourite blogs. I know my Vintage Gift Tags from years ago do well this time of year. Everyone downloads and prints these ones out. So I figured you…

    December 15, 2017 - By 

    Holiday snacking is something everyone does. I don’t know about you, but I am stupid busy right now which means my time to prepare nutritious meals and snacks has vanished entirely. The good news though is that healthy snacking doesn’t have to be hard. I’ve found a snack that is perfect for travel, and for busy days running around during the holiday season. Slammers are my go to favourite right now. They are marketed for kids and they are great for in school lunches. But they are also amazing for road trips and holiday travel. This month we received a…

    15 Creative Star Wars Cupcakes for Fans

    December 14, 2017 - By 

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi is about to hit the theatre, and we can barely contain our excitement! I am a big Star Wars fan, especially since the new movies featuring kickbutt females have arrived. In fact we were having this conversation the other day at our breakfast table and my daughter stated there have always been kickbutt females in Star Wars movies. Might have to agree with her. Anyways, this month we will be showing up at the theatre to see this one for certain! Nothing hits the spot like a themed treat to satisfy a Star Wars craving.…

    Take Care of Yourself, So You Can Take Care of Others

    December 13, 2017 - By 

    From the moment they arrive, your kids become your number-one priority. We all know it, and there’s nothing wrong with that — but it sometimes causes you to neglect yourself. Here’s the thing: Taking a break and treating yourself is absolutely necessary for a healthy body and mind. Moms need to remember to take care of themselves — and yes, sometimes even spoil themselves — so they can properly take care of their children. BOTOX COSMETIC® treatments here in London, Ontario (or another treatment at the medical spa) are sometimes all the R&R you need to look and feel rejuvenated.…

    17 Best Snowman Treats to Enjoy

    December 12, 2017 - By 

    There’s something awesome and childlike about building a snowman that first snowfall every year. Hopefully by December you have each had the chance to experience a snowfall in your area. Unless of course you live in one of the southern States or countries. By December each year we often have a fair bit of snow. That translates into snowmen and snowballs and snow forts and all kinds of creative snow sculptures too! Why not extend that idea to include snowman treats as well?   17 Snowman Treats I have been sharing some fun and easy treats to make with kids…

    Love Out Loud with Teleflora for the Holidays

    December 8, 2017 - By 

    Love out loud. Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate all your loves.

Gratitude, thankfulness and love. Love Out Loud is more than the tag line for Teleflora’s #LoveOutLoud campaign. The idea has been around forever, as long as love has existed.

This past two years in a row my kids have had amazing teachers. Now I know it’s not necessary to buy every single year, but sometimes it is a nice thing to do. Do…
