We had great fun participating in Andrea‘s 25 Days of Christmas blog post. We sailed with Santa and ate with him too, did crafts and puzzles, even went to the symphony and many other things, some of which I just never got around to writing about. Instead of focusing on work and general household tasks, [...]

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Best Christmas Books
I love the holidays, especially Christmas. Last week I talked about our Top 10 Christmas Albums we love to listen too. This week I’m thinking about books. We have a pretty big library of children’s books at home. There are so many great books out there but I have a real soft spot for seasonal [...]

Top Ten Tuesday: Favourite Christmas Albums
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I love Christmas. I love Christmas music. Some music makes me cry from feeling so happy. Some music makes me dance.

25 Days of Christmas: Day 3 – The Chocolateria
I love chocolate and really good hot chocolate. I could enjoy these all year round but there’s something about the impending holidays that makes that mug of hot chocolate magical.

Celebrating Christmas in 25 Days

In the past we’ve had all sorts of different advent calendars to mark the days leading up to Christmas: chocolate, toys, magnetic, colouring, even a storybook that builds a nativity scene. This year, thanks to Andrea at Quiet Fish, we’re looking at [...]

Catering Christmas
One of the things I look forward to during the holidays is that holiday meal. You know, the one with turkey and stuffing and potatoes and squash and cranberries and gravy. Yum, just thinking about it makes me hungry. In the past we’ve cooked the big turkey dinner but it always seems like so much [...]

It’s been a Think Geek Christmas
If you haven’t figured it out by now I’m a little bit of a geek. So it comes as no surprise that some of my geekism has rubbed off on my family. Take this past Christmas for example. Under our tree we had our share of movies and chocolates and toys and clothes, but we [...]

Flip Friday: Merry Christmas
I’ve been trying out my Flip Mino HD from Mom Central Canada and Flip. Christmas is a perfect time to use it too. How else would we be able to share this Christmas greeting with you: The built-in FlipShare software enables me to edit and share my video anywhere there’s a computer (home, the office, the [...]
Trying to balance life at home with my 3 kids (all under 7), while building my business and developing my writing. Oh and throw a load of laundry in and a dinner that isn't burnt. Wasn't working from home suppose to be easier?
