Happy Canada Day!
Happy Canada Day from my family to yours! This is one of my favourite Canada Day photos from years gone by. We love Canada Day here because, of course we are Canadian, and also my older daughter has a birthday the day right after Canada Day. So it is always a Happy Canada Day here! Wishing You the Happiest of Canada Days! Happy Canada Day and where did June go? June is such a crazy chaotic and fast month. To be truthful, it is not my favourite. While I genuinely adore the warmer weather, I do find that MANY kids don’t do well with the less structured days that…

My Favourite Month – July Colouring Page Printable
My favourite month of the year is here. July makes me happy, just like this cute July Colouring Page printable. I love the warmer temperatures and frankly it’s the month of my birthday and my oldest girl’s birthday. In fact, I think that alone makes it worth celebrating. Add all the other stuff in there like the beach, or the cottage, and the lazy summer days by the pool. Put that all together and clearly that’s a recipe for the best month of the year. So happy July to you and welcome to the summer months as well. Thought it was time to post this fun July Colouring Page just…

Fun Canada Day Matching Game Printable
This month have some fun with this Canada Day matching game. It’s a great way for kids to spend a few moments when you are getting dinner ready or doing something that needs to be done. Canada Day is one of my favourite summer events. First of all, it heralds the start of summer and second of all, it is close to my daughter’s birthday. She was a July 2nd baby. So, that makes her birthday so easy to remember. But, it means many people are always away that time of year and party throwing is tricky. Don’t miss the Canada Day Fill Ins page I have available here too…

Seven Road Trip Necessities This Canada Day #ChurchandDwight
Road trip season has begun in earnest around here, so I am stocking up on a few road trip necessities. Car and van trips can be equal parts fun and chaos. Stack the deck in favour of fun and be prepared for anything with these popular brands. This past weekend we headed to Muskoka and the Huntsville area for a weekend away at Ontario Pioneer Camp Blogger’s Weekend. We have several more road trips and plane trips in the works this season and I am looking forward to each one. BUT, I am also preparing for each because road trips with kids can sometimes equal chaos and upset stomachs. A…

Wonder + Simply Free Blog Tour and Early Canada Day
This year we plan to be out of the country for our Canada Day celebration (well at least for the day that Canada Day actually falls on.) That will be odd because we often spend Canada Day at Niagara Falls or at home having a big party. See our family does summer big with multiple birthdays and anniversaries and cottage time and barbequing is a huge part of that tradition. This year though we had a chance to participate in several barbeques leading upto the big day and we helped host one for friends and family, with the help of Wonder + Simply Free and Mom Central Canada.We held the…

Our Canada Day
I wholeheartedly, unabashedly love Canada Day. The first of July every year heralds summer here and we typically go out of our way to make this celebration of our country a fun family experience. Maybe it’s the fireworks. Or maybe it’s because it is the day before my eldest daughter’s birthday. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a time when we moaned at length through high school and university about the lack of a true Canadian culture. The lack of a Canadian identity. Entire careers and courses were made or taught on the topic. But somewhere in the last 10 years I think we discovered our Canadianness and tapped a source of pride. I…
