When my toddler walks out of his bedroom each morning, the first thing he asks for is a treat. “No Cameron. We don’t eat treats for breakfast.” As soon as he finishes his cereal, he asks for a treat. “No Cameron. You just ate.” When I ask him what we should have for lunch, he…

Fluffy Family
“I’ll be right back. Mommy just needs to change Gavin’s diaper.” Little feet hit the floor behind me as I turn to walk towards my bedroom. “I come too, Mama! Wait a me!” I lay Gavin down on his change mat and turn to look at the stack of cloth diapers sitting on the dresser….
What Do a Busy Mom and a Fisherman Have in Common?
Truth? I’ve never ever gone fishing. I would rather my fish not look like fish, thank you very much. In fact, most days, I’d rather no fish at all. So why do Nova Scotian fisherman Jean-Guy D’Entremont and I have such a strong connection? Jump on over to my Sobeys blog to find out. Since I don’t…

Going Home
Today is Labour Day. The end to a weekend of camping, a summer of camping, when I was a kid.

Making Friends: A Vlog in which we Adopt a Cat
“We have been to Build-A-Bear twice and we still don’t have a bear!” my husband said as we walked out of the mall on Thursday evening. It is true. We first went to Build-A-Bear a short time after Gavin was born. It was part of our attempt to treat Cameron a little special now that he…
