Look, I’ma be honest: I’m probably not the right person to come to for financial advice. So this is really more of a we’re-in-this-together kind of post, where I’m learning right alongside you and doing my best to teach my kids about the importance of saving money. Because they haven’t exactly had the most frugal…
Scouts games, team-building games for kids & more
As my kids inch closer to starting their first year of Scouts in Canada, I’ve been taking a look online to see what kinds of Scouts games they’ll be doing and how those play-based activities will help them develop skills to conquer the “real world” as they get older. From team-building games for kids to…
FALL in love with Wheat Canada (because it’s hard to “autumn in love”)
OK. Now that kids across the country are firmly in school and your brain is no longer racing with all of the things you needed to get them out of your house, let’s talk shopping. Because if you’re like me and you remember back-to-school shopping, it was always for fall clothes. But, let’s be honest,…
Wheat Canada: spring/summer ’15
If there’s one thing we know for sure about springtime in Canada, it’s that we don’t know a damn thing. Will it be sunny? Rainy? Warm? Cool? Or all of the above in the same day? Yes, yes. Probably that last bit. So that means we need layers. Lots of them. To hit up the mall/park/movie…

Naturepedic waterproof mattress protector pad #SafeSleep
The K Man didn’t move into a big boy bed until he was well past his fourth birthday this year. Part of this was his own hesitation about leaving the comfort of his little toddler bed, which – to him – still felt so much like the crib he’d loved for more than three years…
George’s Cream – a cure-all, but at what cost?
When the nice people from George’s Cream contacted me about trying out two of its products, Miss Q had just had another bout of cradle cap. She suffered from the yellow flakes as an infant, and I used Substance’s Nappy Rash Ointment to help ward it off. I didn’t know when the cream would arrive…
SwaggerTag custom ID tags
When I discovered personalized labels (the likes of Mabel’s Labels and Lovable Labels), I ordered one of those starter packs that came with a little bit of everything. One of the products was a dog tag-style ID tag; and I’ve had it on The K Man’s backpack ever since he’s had a backpack. But I…
