Today I made the leap and did something that I was very hesitate about doing. I posted my before picture, alongside my progress picture onto my Instagram. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve done so far, and I’ve had three kids lol. I made the personal choice to post these pictures, and be completely…

My first attempt at making mild salsa.
If you had told me years ago that I would have a fridge full of tomatoes, I would think you were nuts. I know it sounds bizarre, but despite liking ketchup I never liked tomatoes. Then one day when I was pregnant with my son, I tried out a tomato sandwich for the first time…
Zaden’s first day of kindergarten
Time sure is flying by, it seems like only yesterday we were bringing Zaden to his first day of preschool. Today was his first day of Kindergarten. *Cue the water works* This morning went well Zaden got up and ready for school, without any fuss. Keera on the other hand has already adapted the “five…
Keera’s first day of grade three.
Today is Keera’s first day back at school, and she’s off to 3rd grade. I can’t believe it, I’ve got a third grader! Every year a couple of weeks before school starts, I get searching on Pinterest. I desperately want to be that cool parent, that does creative back to school pictures. I think up…
Tacos in a bowl.
Have you ever wanted to try a food, that’s so simple to make yet you’ve just never got around to it? I was hesitant on trying out Tacos In A Bag. I mean in theory they sound delicious, and we’ve had tacos before lol. With five of us here, I try sticking to foods I…
My first strawberry pie.
I was checking out food recipes on Pinterest several days ago, because I don’t know anyone that doesn’t like “pinning” recipes. There is so many delicious looking recipes around the web, then I noticed a friend of mine had pinned a recipe for a Saskatoon pie. It got me thinking, I should definitely make another…
First time making turkey burgers.
Lately I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen, I want to try eating and cooking different foods. I love spaghetti it’s great, and it’s always a crowd pleaser. I’m just looking for a change, you know something less routine. The kids aren’t big fans of me going crazy with new foods, I try to limit it…
Eating healthy on a budget.
I’m always on the search for things, that will give me the best bang for my buck. I want to feed my kids healthy meals, however I don’t want it to cost an arm and a leg. Our family likes to have meat for our suppers. Meat can get pretty pricey. On our busy days…
Walking the pond, with the trio.
It’s been a little over three weeks since I started working out. I usually end up doing my workout, right after I put the kids to bed. I find that it’s easier to focus on the workout, when they aren’t up being loud and fighting with each-other. I put my headphones in and then blast…
We took the trio to Menchie’s.
It’s summer time, and I’m constantly wanting to do stuff with the kids. Unfortunately between the kids camps, work, and the bigs going for sleep-overs there’s not much time to do stuff. Tonight I really wanted to take them somewhere. I thought about going for ice cream, but then thought that wouldn’t be a smart…
