TV time is a very important time at our house. Well, at least my kids think it is. Like most kids, my children are completely entranced by the characters they see on movies and on television. We all know how nice it is for mom when a kid will sit quietly on [...]
Spring and summer are wonderful times of the year, so we’re all happy! We’ve waited months for the change of season, and the nicer weather that it would bring. Sadly, though, summer joys can be ruined very quickly if you or your child is covered with painful and swollen bug bites! Bug bites can ruin [...]
A friend recently tagged me in her own HostelBookers 7 Super Shots blog post and asked that I write a post about my seven favourite photos. My first thought: only 7!?! Thank goodness there are categories because if I had to choose just seven favourite photos this post wouldn’t be published until 2015. I started [...]

No, that’s not my 3-year-old taking over my keyboard; amazingly it’s what a Swedish couple tried to name their baby (it’s apparently pronounced “Albin”). Deciding what to call a baby is a huge decision for most parents. After all, it’s something our kid is going to be stuck with [...]
When we decided to sell off our lives in Canada and move to France, it was truly a leap of faith. We started with the idea that time together has value. Here, defining Time Currency is the first step to putting our travel plans into action. When my good friend Francesca told me about ‘Time [...]
My smart, curious, thoughtful and sometimes goofy daughter turns three years old this week. She is the second born child of my trio which puts her smack in the middle.
