Are you a meal planner? Or do you see your phone flashing 5 p.m. and hit the panic button? I am a bit of both. More manic panic meals than well thought out meal plans. So why should I be concerned?

Head on over to Facebook any night at about 5 p.m., or browse some blogs on a Monday. Menu Planning Monday is a whole thing. Until recently, I have taken a pass on this whole…

Parenting is a whirlwind amusement park ride some years. January commences with it’s blank slate of beautiful opportunities and it’s promise of zen like days stretching as far as the eye can see, and then February arrives faster and colder, and March and April skate by, and we all know the summer disappears in the blink of an eye. Suddenly you find yourself looking around you, surveying life and family on New Year’s Eve facing another year, and you wonder how did the kid’s feet grow by three entire sizes in the last few months? Life races past. Children are…

Dora The Explorer Live is coming to London, Ontario soon. My kids loved Dora when they were small. I loved her because she was educational and fun. What’s not to love about your child learning another language?

This was one of our first live shows that we ever saw, and it was also one of our first TV shows that the kids watched. In celebration of this upcoming show I wanted to share an exclusive Dora…

I found my word for 2015 in centergy class, where I do yoga and pilates moves and strive to get fit. I could care less if that sounds cliche. It’s the truth. I have been searching for a word to help me give a focus to this year. I choose one every year. But this year I have been stuck.

When we made this scrumptious and nutritious dinner last week, we actually made enough for two nights. The kids ended up taking some for…
