Little Monkey turns 6 today!!! Birthdays are always a big celebration at our place but the kids’ birthdays definitely draw the most attention. Grandparents who live in Nova Scotia and grandparents who live in Niagara on the Lake will all be arriving to our place this afternoon for a weekday celebration as Little Monkey had […]
The kids are back in school and the autumn feels are in the air. As you know, we’ve been away this summer and are quite excited for all things autumn. From jumping in piles of leaves to layering up (best fashion season!), we’re looking forward to it all. Living in Ontario means that there’s plenty […]
As we come to the last month of our trip we’re starting to think about back to school and as you can imagine, one of the things I was never a fan of was the kindergarten lunchbox prep that needs to happen every single day. I’ve always prepped the lunchboxes the night before and it […]
As you know, I’m always looking for dishes that are not just healthy and easy to make, but also ones that will be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. This is how I discovered my love for Israeli couscous. I first had it at a restaurant and then spent a year trying to find it […]
We’ve been experiencing some hot days during our travels through Spain and Morocco and we also recently had the pleasure of meeting some new friends. Being on the road we miss our weekend hangout sessions with friends and it’s not easy meeting new peeps as we keep moving on a weekly basis. We lucked out […]

This year we’ll be in Spain for Easter and I was a bit sad that we’d miss out on some of our favourite Easter traditions. Sure there’s the egg hunt but it’s the treats and the celebration of new life as our extended family gathers together, that I’ll miss most. In typical fashion, I decided […]
If you follow our Instagram stories, you know I love having the kids in the kitchen any chance I get because it’s just one way to keep them from fighting with each other or being glued to their iPads. Little Monkey has always shown an interest in cooking but it was only recently that Baby Boy has […]
This month Gay Lea asked me to share some of my secret indulgences and the first one that came to mind are the “girls nights in” that I end up hosting once a month. Yup! It wasn’t eating in front of the iPad watching Netflix ALL BY MYSELF or enjoying that decadent piece of chocolate with […]
I wish I enjoyed cooking, I really do, because I certainly like to eat. Every time I have a memorable restaurant experience, I think to myself, ‘why don’t I try to replicate this at home’. Yet whenever I find a recipe I think I would enjoy following, I end up a broken man, having usually […]
