Just a little over a month ago I made and started a behaviour chart for the kids. The chart has three sections “Good behaviour/Bonne Attitude” (pink), “Stop and think/Reflechir”(yellow), and “Consequence/conséquence”(blue). I know the colours are odd, but that’s the only colour of construction paper I had at the time. To quickly explain the way…

I don’t care how clean your home is.
Over the last month or so I’ve noticed plastered all over my social media feed, parents arguing that they are better parents because; they either have a spotless home or I believe the saying is “excuse the mess the children are making memories”. This really pushes my buttons, neither of those things make you a…
First days aren’t scary.
Today has been a big day so far, I had orientation for my new job this afternoon and I start my first shift tonight. PLUS it was Zaden’s first day alone at preschool. Last year we had enrolled Zaden in playschool, but after a couple of month I didn’t like the playschool environment, so we…
Tinga taco kit.
We had a busy morning, and a busy afternoon. Next thing you know I catch a glimpse of the microwave it’s already four o’clock. Supper time was rolling around fast, and I was starting to panic I didn’t want to make a run to the grocery store. After checking the cupboards, the fridge and both…
Exploring the new preschool.
Today was a fantastic day to add to the books! We started off the late morning with a Chocolate Strawberry smoothie [Nesquik chocolate milk powder, some strawberries and milk], then we headed over to scope out Zaden’s new preschool. As I mentioned in my blog last year we had enrolled Zaden in playschool,(note these are…
Hello grade two.
Here we go yet another summer has come and gone, and it feels like it just flew by. *Gulp* Today Keera is off to her first day of grade 2, seriously?! Where’s my baby? Not that long ago she was off to kindergarten bawling her eyes on the bus, leaving me behind crying as the…
The behaviour chart.
The kids have always received appropriate disciplinary actions for their not so good behaviour. I am however starting to find that now that Keera’s six and Zaden’s four they are starting to learn how to really push my buttons…intentionally. Thankfully Emilee’s too young to do it, but I’m sure with two siblings to learn from…
Therapy at a standstill.
Emilee had an appointment with her Speech therapist today, it’s been a month since her last appointment. {Some back story: Emilee got introduced to therapy because she has Hypermobility Syndrome. It’s caused her to have difficulties with crawling, and walking; she required physiotherapy to aid her to progress. A month ago a speech therapist joined…
Get your smoothie on.
As many of you know, especially if you follow me on my Instagram. I love making homemade popsicles and smoothies. I don’t follow a particular recipe, I just try it out and see if it tastes good. I’ve created my own little recipe book just for smoothie/popsicle recipes, and every couple of weeks I’m adding…
Bulk fresh produce.
We found this really neat produce place it’s just on 5th avenue, NE here in Calgary. It’s called Freestone Produce Inc, and we got some pretty great finds. We bought eight containers of organic strawberries for (10$), two containers of small red grapes for (2.50$), and two containers of blueberries for (1.50$). Also we got…
