My family has a new favourite cereal. When we received Kellogg’s brand new Cinnamon flavour of Corn Pops I was over the moon. I love trying Kellogg’s new products. Kellogg’s is a brand I trust. But cinnamon. Well, I defy you to find me someone who does not like cinnamon. It is a comfroting flavour and a sweet homey aroma that reminds me of French toast and childhood. Baking with cinnamon makes the whole house smell comforting. So I had high hopes for Cinnamon Pops. They were met, luckily. We have in past bought the regular Corn Pops and the…

Okay, I know I promised you all a healthy recipe this week because we keep cooking sweets lately and last week those cupcakes were yummy. So, here it is simple. Couldn’t be easier and my kids, well the shortest one, she could make these every night. Salmon patties. (for four) Double the recipe if you have more people or big eaters. One can of salmon. Drain and remove bones. Toss it into a bowl. Add two eggs Stir and add bread crumbs or for yummier results crush crackers and use as breading. Pat into balls. Then flatten them in a…

This was tossed onto my bed yesterday after school. Post-meltdown apology. We received a great new campaign product and are ambassadors together for Mom Central Canada and the Clearasil Perfectawash face system. While opening the package and assembling the really cool motion activated stand we inadvertently started it up which was cool and then I was having a Mommy moment because I love motion activated stuff. I mean how cool is that? Apparently I used too much of her face wash and that unleashed a shrieking three headed puberty monster girl yelling: Turn It OFF! Clear proof that we are…

Today we had a field trip to the school board because my daughter’s school continues to fail her and today all she needed was a bit of attention and help getting into class. But one person yelled at her, yanked a timer from her hands and told her to go home. Another adult told her she has to want to be in school or she will have to go to a different school (in front of me) and same said I am really busy right now. Then we ran into her at the bank three minutes later, because I pulled…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day edition of Cooking With Kids. Today we are baking cupcakes, with a twist. We’ll call these Pot of Gold cupcakes. Oh and I have a giveaway open to Canadians today. So read to the end and let’s get cooking or baking. Yummy! Well, look at that. Oddly my cupcakes were so pretty the youngest didn’t want to eat them. This time all we did was make a batch of cupcakes from a Betty Crocker box. I let Ainsley be in charge on this one, so we tossed baking gumdrops into the batter and heart sprinkles and…

If you have kids, you have dishes and messes. The three simply seem to go hand in hand. I am thrilled, as you can tell by the vlog, to be a part of this Canada-wide #FinishRevolution. Finish is a product I use and trust. There are few products that work harder in my house, and few appliances that work as much as my dishwasher. I hate doing dishes! So brand loyalty for Finish is huge in my house. Finish Canada and Mom Central Canada have chosen several bloggers to introduce this great Facebook campaign called the #FinishRevolution. Pop by right…

I saw this on Pinterest recently and knew it had to be Demspter’s White bread. Don’t get me wrong, we eat a lot of whole wheat and 16 grains and various heavy duty flax breads throughout the week, but there are times when only white bread will do. Like the day after Christmas when turkey is screaming for a bed of lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiched between the white bread. And this….how cute is this? Kid peanut butter and jelly sushi sandwiches. The key here is fresh white bread. Trim the crusts and spread a thin layer of each on top…
