On October 6th, 2023 my mom and I went to Canadian Plasma Resources for our first appointment. The plasma donation centre has now been renamed Grifols. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I knew the least we could do was get some information. Like many people, I’m always looking for opportunities to bring more…

Rekindling My Love Of Reading.
I’ve always loved reading, ever since I was little. The library was my absolute favourite place to be. Falling down the rabbit hole of a good book and getting lost in the pages. I remember I would stay up till midnight reading. It’s a great way to escape without actually escaping. I’ve always been an…
Became Debt Free Then Booked PRK Laser Eye Surgery
I’ve been wearing eyeglasses since I was 8 or 9 years old. I’m going to be honest before I got eyeglasses I always thought that wearing glasses made people look cool. I’ve never thought glasses were uncool, I always thought they made people appear smarter. I wanted desperately to wear glasses. Then I started wearing…
Cooking Class For Beginners.
I believe that cooking and baking, is something that should be taught at a young age. It’s an important life skill, because living off only Kraft dinner and hotdogs isn’t something I want for my kids. Although to be honest, Kraft dinner and hotdogs is a pretty good dish on occasion. Don’t judge. So a…
Adventure Time.

Birthday Fun, Zaden Turns Six.
Today we celebrated Zaden’s sixth birthday, and I learnt a lot about hosting a birthday party. I’ve never hosted a birthday party, at a location other than our house…with people other than family. I thought it would be simple, and stress-free after all it was going to be hosted at another location. No cleanup required…
Zoo Day Out, Parenting Four Kids.
What do you do on a beautiful sunny Sunday, you take the kids to the Zoo of course! This afternoon the kids, my mom and I met up with a friend and her son at the Zoo. Her daughter was supposed to come too, but she had a play-date with another friend. I love play-dates…
Organization/decluttering bedroom, plus some IKEA finds.
We made a family trip to IKEA a few days ago, because I needed to buy a new dresser. Right now I’ve got two dressers in my room, both of which only have three drawers. Which means we’re lacking in organization, and clothing storage space. The set up so far is Zaden’s using one of…
Jack Astor’s food review| Exploring new restaurants.
Do you ever notice that we as people, usually gravitate towards the same few restaurants all the time. It’s not that we aren’t opened to eating elsewhere, it’s just that we go to whats familiar. This evening we were driving around, looking for a new place to eat. When I seen Jack Astor’s, we quickly…
