We’ve just started traveling with our children. It’s not always easy, it’s not always fun, but it’s so very worth it.

It has been an awesome summer! You certainly did see much of me over here, but if you follow me on Instagram, you definitely got to see pictures of things we got up to! This was a summer of travel, exploration and lots of fun. Disclosure: Please note that some of the links in this post […]

We are pretty big baseball fans in this family. I grew up on the diamond and both of my brothers played ball in University.  So it was such a blessing that my husband loves baseball too.  Go Jays Go! Disclosure: Please note that some of the links in this post are affiliate links and if […]

This week my social media has been blowing up with articles and memes posted by concerned friends and family with regard to children being separated from their families at the border. With each post, each new piece of knowledge, my heart broke a little bit more.  Until tonight, when a woman was asking for suggestions […]

I’ve been chewing on what to write about this week, well all week! Monday was a holiday, and we enjoyed a wonderful play date with dear old friends (both mine and the kids’). Tuesday, my awesome sister-in-law took the older two to an indoor playground, while the baby and I hung out at home cleaning […]

To all who celebrate and to those who welcome warm wishes, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter/long weekend!   We are a secular family, however, we still participate in the cultural elements of many Judeo-Christian celebrations.  It is really a cultural thing and passing on the warm memories of our own family traditions to […]
