Never have I ever needed a decluttering challenge more than I do right now. After months and months of pandemic life, spending more time at home and less leaving the house for school, work and life in general, the piles of clutter have become overwhelming. Holiday Clutter At this time of year, at Christmas, I also find myself frequently overwhelmed but the extra decorations and details that make the home festive but also visually cluttered. I feel like it’s impossible to do a minimalist Christmas. That’s okay, I think, but at the same time I live and work in my…

At the start of the pandemic I looked for ways to stay positive. I think many of us did actually. There weren’t many optimistic and hopeful things to see then as events were cancelled and schools closed and sports stopped, gyms closed and well you get the idea. And, there was so much worry, in every single corner of my house. WE lost multiple trips we had planned and we were worried often. Everything was so much harder, especially when schools closed and remote learning was the new normal. My kids did not do well with that at all. MOM…

Orca whales are so fascinating. So is the orca whale life cycle. So, this orca whale life cycle games booklet should be an excellent activity for the younger kids in your home. While I have been whale watching, and I have seen several outside Tadoussac, Quebec, I have yet to see orca whales in the wild, in their natural habitat. That is a bucket list travel goal. These whales belong to the Oceanic dolphin species and can be found in many places around the world. They are highly social and have been heavily mythologized in indigenous culture. Orca Whales live…

So, after the year we just had, is it even possible to have New Years Resolutions? Is it advisable? It is worrisome? Well, maybe just a bit. But I am tentatively creating some anyways and holding a few close to the chest. Didn’t we all have all of the intentions and resolutions last year at the start of 2020 before the world went topsy turvey and the pandemic was declared? SMART Goals I can’t even imagine a year now where my resolutions are not SMART goals. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely. BIGGEST emphasis…

Enjoy this wine word search this week when you have a spare moment. By now, you all know that word searches and word games make me happy as a clam. This stems from all the time that I spent in the hospital with Crohn’s disease as a kid. People would always bring gifts of crossword puzzle books and word search games. The Gift of Words Those were amazing ways to pass the time when sitting there in the hospital unable to get out, go shopping or even go to school. Those word games helped fill the hours. Of course, I…

So, you know how we began this horrible pandemic? After railing against the unfairness of the entire situation, channelling a bit of depression and anger, we started looking to our neighbourhoods for cheer and inspiration. This was the year that I spied all of the little local nooks and trails and messages of hope in windows. Getting a Smile That made me happy. It also helped us to resolve to do our own part to add to the cheery atmosphere of our own little corner of the world. We began by adding colourful pictures and seasonal colouring pages to the…

So here we are. Almost…The mother of all nights….New Year’s Eve. Oh there will be some serious celebrating, but it won’t be at bars or at big parties. It will be the close to home kind of fun. Maybe with a little New Years Charades thrown in the mix. I genuinely hope that all of you are making smart and healthy choices this New Year and that you are staying home. This year, we will probably ski during the day close to home and then chill out and share some scrumptious snacks and maybe watch a live broadcast, drink some…
