Moms, crafts, and empty bottles. A great weekend project

If you are like me, I hardly have time to sit and read articles for projects. I scroll on Pinterest when my kids are in bed, and if I there was something that I wanted to see, it would either need photos or a quick write up. I don't have time for much with kids, work, family, laundry, cooking, lunches, and the list goes on!! That is why when I find these cute, quick easy projects, I want to make reading about them as easy as possible!   Moms, are you like me, and during this pandemic, have any empty...

15 minutes is all I need.

15 minutes is all I need. As a mom, have you heard yourself say this before? I usually try to listen to podcasts while I am driving. I try to listen to them in the house while cleaning or cooking, but that usually does not work, so I try to cram in as much podcast as I can when driving.  Now most of the time I listen to business ones, but I try my best to listen to ones that are by moms. Not because as moms we know everything - but if you ask my kids for now they...

Do you ever watch those shows where the neighbours just walk into the others home.

You know the shows, where the moms can message or call and the other ones are there in a heart beat?   You know what? I don’t think that exists.   The house that we bought when I was pregnant with my first child, was the...

Moms, we need a win don't we?

Moms, we need a win don't we?

I need a win. What about you?   Sometimes the day to day gets so overwhelming and the noise gets in my head. There is a schedule for everything. Every moment has been penciled in. There are kid drop offs, pick ups, meals, play time, outdoor time, homework, and well the list goes on.   Sometimes it gets really hard pushing the things that we, as moms, know we need to make our kids do, when you know they only want to have some fun, and hang out with mom. Sometimes that is all that we want to do as...

It's Spring, and you need time to drink your coffee hot

Hello Spring!   It’s that time of year again where the weather gets warmer, the sun starts shining, the snow melts, you start hearing the birds in the morning, and there starts to be a trickle of kids playing outside.  We have  all been cooped up inside for so long, but now that we all can go outside again, without having to deal with your kids hands being cold because they won’t wear the mitts you brought them. But what can we do?    Depending where you are, the world looks a little different for us all. What our comfort...
