During the holidays when you are not expecting anyone, and the panic starts.

Oh no!! We have all been there before. This year may just look a little bit different. You hear a knock at your door. You are not expecting anyone, and the panic starts. You look out your window, and standing back from your door is someone who you know. A friend, a family member, a neighbour, co-worker; whoever it is, they were unannounced.   They saw you  in the window, and now you have to answer the door. They are so sweet. They just came to drop off a little something for you, for the holidays.     I don’t...

The Last of Sparkle Heart ideas... Our Elf on the Shelf

We are almost done! We have almost made it!! This calls for celebration. It is too early in the morning for me to have a glass of wine to celebrate, so having a nice hot coffee will do. The elf is on the last half until he or she goes back to the North Pole for the year. How are you doing mama? For the first 10 days our resident Elf Sparkle Heart was in a jar in quarantine. Even then, there were so many times she had to be moved…after I went to bed. Now, we are at the...

Sometimes getting out to preplanned activities were what we needed for any type of resemblance of normalcy.   Here’s what we did over the weekend.     Go skating. I am not talking...

Christmas this year is going to be different, so...Let's have a contest!

I pride myself in my work and consistency. So I owe you all an apology for not showing up the last week, especially for #momsinbusinessmonday   I do not want to be too repetitive and talk about the same moms each week, and I am still searching for more and new moms to feature. Because there was a lull, I quickly fell off track, and it was easy for me to fall into a slump last week. Running a successful business during these times it not easy. Running two businesses during these times with kids, is even harder.  The last...

Quarantine that ELF!

Elf on the shelf ideas   Obviously after your elf does his or her 10-14 day isolation, you will have to come up with some new ideas of what to do. Last year was the first year my family did this tradition thanks to a gift from my sister, we were forced into it. I actually do not mind doing this, and my girls loved seeing where Sparkle Heart was every morning. But I can also appreciate how hard it is to come up with new ideas, and not repeating ideas as the years go on.   That is why...
