The plan was to take the kids out for supper, but as we were getting ready to head out Keera asked if she could pay for herself. I assured her that she didn’t have to pay for herself, we were going to be paying. She kept insisting, she definitely got her stubbornness from me! So…

Hot Chocolate and Cookies.
On work days I’m usually exhausted, thankfully Emilee’s a good sport and most of the time wants to nap with me. I work the night-shift and it really messes with the balance of days and nights. Especially when the kids, and I have got stuff to do during the day. I end up getting home…
Three Cheese Chicken Alfredo.
Years ago, and I’m talking roughly six years ago I made this dish for the first time. No it’s nothing fancy, heck it’s a common dish Chicken Alfredo. Since that first time I’ve made this recipe, I’ve probably made it at home a handful of times. It’s not in our weekly meal planning, it’s more…
Three kids, and I’m still learning.
The kids and I live with my mom, it’s not your typical living with parent situation. It’s more of a roommate situation, we split most things down the middle such as rent. She’s got her monthly financial obligations, and I’ve got mine.. Of course there are times when there’s grey areas, such as groceries and…
The importance of documenting your weight-loss.
Weight-loss is no joke, it’s damn hard to lose weight. I’ve been on this weight-loss journey unofficially since 2014, and I’ve fallen off the wagon more than a dozen times.

My daily reality.
So here’s the truth, it’s been really hard to get motivated to workout. Everyone says once you get into a workout routine, that it gets easier but I’m having a hard time believing that’s true. It’s so easy to convince myself to not go workout, between the kids schedules and my night job. On a…

Christmas 2016.
It’s become a Christmas tradition that when we wake up on Christmas morning, the kids get dressed and all the adults shower. Then we make ourselves a cup of coffee before we open gifts, it’s a way more relaxing way to start off the festivities. I think this Christmas morning routine is great it gives…
Keera turned eight.
Today Keera turned eight, eight years ago today we were supposed to go for breakfast at my mother-in-laws place. My grandparents were visiting, so I said I would sleep on the couch. I woke up because I remember feeling like I had to go to the washroom, as soon as I got into the bathroom…
Christmas Eve containers 2016.
I can’t believe that today’s already December 24th, it’s crazy to think how fast this year has come and gone. Only two years ago I started doing these Christmas Eve boxes, in the hopes that it would start a tradition for the kids and I. Two years ago I remember I bought the kids each…
