Once upon a time I used to pride myself on getting up and out the door in twenty minutes flat! Nowadays…..It can take that long for my daughter to decide if she wants to wear the unicorn shirt or the princess shirt to school! Mornings are HARD- especially when you’re trying to get everyone up, […]
Sumer is my BEYOND favourite season. I wait all Canadian Winter for it to finally come and basically start counting down as it starts to get chillier until it comes back again. I don’t mean to be a Debby Downer over here but the minute the August long weekend hits I feel like summer is […]
