And a BIG 21 month old, at that. Weighing in at over 31 lbs and standing 35.5″ tall, we have committed to the idea of taking our family to Disneyland next year if Jonathan keeps growing and can reach 40″ to go on Radiator Springs Racers at California Adventure! This boy is absolutely head over […]
Hockey and Good Deeds Go Hand in Stick
At the beginning of the hockey season, I posted a photo of the boys skating at the arena and captioned it: “We’ve moved! Our home away from home for the next 6 months!”. It sure feels like it’s true because we are at arenas up to 5 days a week with power skating, skating lessons, hockey […]
I Won’t Let My Anxiety Consume Me
I have so much going on in my life that I’ve wanted to share with you. So many recipes I want to write up, and even start making videos for. I still need to finish blogging about our trip to San Francisco, but I have half finished posts sitting in my drafts pile for weeks […]
5 Signs a Messy Toddler Lives Here
When I’ve shared photos this past year of the “you know you live with a toddler when…” variety, people frequently comment how lucky I am that our first two toddlers weren’t as destructive and messy as Jonathan is! Third time’s a charm, perhaps? I can’t believe how many times we catch him absolutely destroying his […]
Jonathan is 20 Months Old!
Truth be told, I can totally believe Jonathan is 20 months old…he already seems like he’s 2 years old because of his size and his language skills. I don’t have an official weight on him but he’s gotta be well over 30 lbs and he’s so tall he can see over our kitchen table now […]
Large Batch Cinnamon Rolls, Made to Share
I am so happy to be hosting my family for Christmas this year. Not only is there no travelling for my own family, but there will be lots and lots of Christmas cooking and baking in my future. I absolutely love hosting people, and one of the ways I show my love the most is […]
How To Plan a Trip to San Francisco | Accommodation, Travel, Clothes
Jay and I haven’t traveled anywhere longer than a weekend away, just the two of us, for a few years now. When we celebrated our 10th anniversary this summer, I really wanted to plan a vacation so we could celebrate. His parents generously offered a time share trip to Mexico, which would have been great, […]
Jonathan is 19 Months Old!
This month just flew by and before we known it he’ll be 20 months old at the end of the year! I would guesstimate by the way this boy eats that he’s well on his way to 30 lbs, if he’s not there already. When he had his 18 month vaccinations he’s in the 95%ile […]
Every Child Needs Thomas in Their Life
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mattel Canada for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. I’ll never forget the first time our oldest son Braden laid his eyes on Thomas the Tank Engine. It was over 6 years ago when he was 18 months old. Ever since then, Thomas & […]
Teach Your Kids To Clean Now & They’ll Thank You Later
I can’t recall how many times I have texted my mom in my adulthood thanking her for teaching me how to clean and to keep a nice home. I was fortunate enough to be influenced by her and my two grandmothers who kept immaculately clean homes, always. I am still working on my immaculateness, I […]
