It seems with children I have been inspired to grow, in many ways, but this particular post is concentrating on growing outdoor vegetables, fruits and plants. I want to show them that the fruits and vegetables that they enjoy, grow from seeds in the ground and that we can grow them ourselves. We are equally […]

Practice Cake
It was the beginning of May and Owen’s fourth birthday was coming up. The decision on the cake changed every day, every hour, so finally I asked Owen, what kind of birthday cake would you like for your birthday? Cars or Spider-man. Owen picked Spider-man. I was able to find a Spider-man cake pan from […]
Potty Training, part two, Daddy’s turn
There was one extra day after Easter that Daddy stayed home, for one last day to ensure Owen and Brandon were really good with the potty training. Uncle Derek, Aunty Colette, Zoe and Isaac brought a wonderful Easter gift for Owen and Brandon — bubbles. But not any ordinary bubbles, colored bubbles. The weather was […]
The Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter Bunny, the Easter Bunny….we woke up Easter Sunday morning and when we headed downstairs, why there were little Easter eggs hidden all over the house. They were in the bathroom (what!? the Easter bunny took a break in the bathroom), in our shoes, in our toys and in the kitchen! Owen loved hunting […]
Happy Easter
Easter was about a month ago, but well you know my story….Sean and I struggled to balance enjoying Easter and visiting with family and taking pictures, but we did get a few… I found an egg decorating set that came with a stamp and stamp pad and thought that would be a lot of fun. […]
Happy 4th Birthday Owen!

Potty Training
So I have come to a fork in the road, potty training. For the better part of the past 12 months Sean and I have worked at potty training with Owen. Stumbling along the way, trying this and then that, changing expressions, tone and words and googling, googling, googling for advice, tips, anything. By the […]
Our Aunty Rocks!
The boys have these too cute t shirts and before anyone assumes anything I will admit it was me that bought them and not one of the boy’s Aunty’s. Owen and Brandon’s favorite thing about the shirts is the guitars. Now the sippy cups….well those have been sitting in the cupboard for quite some time […]
Helping the snow melt
It was the beginning of April and there was little sign that all the snow we got all winter was going to melt anytime soon. I mean the sun would come out and warm up, but there was just too much snow and not enough daylight yet to really do any damage. Then it started […]
Young Yoga’s
Curious little boys will find everything, no matter where you put it in the house. Recently Sean and I have been exercising in the evenings, once the boys are tucked into bed. One of our favorites has been Yoga and with yoga, the mat and blocks are very helpful. So one day Owen and Brandon were […]
