Back when I was starting the Little Man on solids, I used to think that life would be so much easier when he could simply eat what we ate. Less prep, same level of control over what went into his mouth. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Typical 2 year old “I don’t LIKE it” [...]

I have a dilemma…. Ok, well I have many but in this case, I’m talking about a specific one: my eating habits. I eat and feed my family fairly well. I always have a butt load of fruits and veggies on hand, my pantry is well stocked with whole grains, organic foods and minimally processed [...]

How was everyone’s weekend? Did you get out and enjoy some nice weather? I’ve seen a few out there that were able to get out and enjoy the beach. Very jealous! Beach season is still a few months away here in the prairies so my legs will remain a glowing shade of pale for a [...]

Last week was a short week and I was oh-so-thankful for it (more on the trials of my temper-tantrum throwing, boundary pushing two year old another day). If you recall from last week’s menu, I didn’t try any new recipes because I was trying out a new dessert. I had two on the agenda but [...]

If you remember from last week, my menu plan was pretty jam packed. I actually ended up deviating quite a bit from the plan for several reasons: -My chicken taco soup was AMAZING! The Little Man ate it every night, no complaints, no muss, no fuss. Even hubby loved it enough that we ate it [...]

Thanksgiving Feast

One thing I started doing during my first maternity leave to save time and money was to menu plan. I am the first to admit that not only am I not a good cook (I am thankful each and every day for a husband who will eat very nearly everything I put on the table, [...]

The other day, I wrote about my trip to the indoor play pad at the mall with the Little Man and the awesome compliment I got when we were eating our lunch that I had prepared at home and packed with us. I thought I would share a bit of my strategy when heading out [...]

I like to get out with the Little Man as much as possible. With winter on it’s way, now more than ever I’m trying to be outside with him as much as possible. It’s a lifestyle I want to instil  on him early in life in hopes that when he’s older and faced with a [...]

Fall is here. The air is crisp, the days are cooler and I am in my happiest of happy places. I love the fall. I like summer but much prefer the fall. Now that the little man is a bit older, mobile and curious about ev-er-y-thing, I excited that I can introduce him to more [...]
