Whether you are new to this concept or it is one of your yearly family traditions, you want it to be special. This the first time we have chosen to do a Christmas eve box…or as I have rebranded it a ‘Christmas box’. Whether you are choosing to give it on December 1st, like me, [...]
Reading to your children is not only an enjoyable way to pass the time but actually carries so many more benefits. We've implemented a strong routine into our children life, whereby reading is included daily. Not only is it an enjoyable pastime but it carries so many other benefits for both you and your child [...]
Prior to Covid 19 I wasn’t really one for thinking out of the box. But, since that turned the world upside down and changed each of our every-days, I have found there are plenty, and possibly, more meaningful ways to show appreciation and make time at home special and personal. And, of course these can [...]
Happy Easter! I started this post weeks ago! But, in the Easter spirit it’s better late than never. Easter is fast approaching and our household is now isolating due to Covid 19.

I never thought I of all people would be advocating for Valentines Day. Normally, it is not a holiday that Dennis and I celebrate, but with March marking the 1 year anniversary since Covid-19 sent us into some form of national lockdown, I feel this is the year we need to sprinkle the love around [...]
