Bring Home Happy with Trolls
It’s been a crazy few weeks over here, and it’s time to bring home happy! We would first like to disclose that this post has been written in Christine’s words, but since she is still unable to have any screen time until she recovers from her concussion, a few of us have volunteered to type […]
World Prematurity Day: No Baby Unhugged
No Baby Unhugged. November 17th is World Prematurity Day, a day intended to raise awareness of the high rates of premature births worldwide. When babies arrive early they’re sensitive, vulnerable and in need of care around the clock. And while medicine and machines are an important part of their treatment, hospitals are now discovering human touch […]
Time Flies! Our Little Preemie is EIGHT Years Old!
I never fully understood what people meant when they told me “Enjoy them while they’re young”, “They’re only little once”, and “Time flies!” Then I had a child and all of a sudden, I knew what others meant, and boy, were they right. Time flies! It’s hard to believe that this time eight years ago, […]

Lumpiang Shanghai ~ Filipino Spring Roll Recipe
Some of my earliest memories are of my mom, her sisters, and my grandmother gathering around the kitchen table and making Lumpiang Shanghai and other Filipino food together. There would always be lots of laughter and chatter as the sisters worked together to prepare a feast for the family. The sound of laughter and the […]

Last days of summer #LetsLiveBig
It’s hard to believe that we are nearing the last days of summer! I’m usually a “glass is half full” kind of person, but let’s be honest. August is just flying by at warp speed and soon the kids will be back in school. What better way to cling onto savour the last days of summer […]
MomSneak – It’s a thing! How do you #MomSneak? #StreamTeam
I kid you not. MomSneak is a real thing. 9 out of 10 Canadian moms feel that watching TV or movies alone is valuable “met time”. I have to admit that there is something so satisfying in being able to unwind at the end of the day when the kid is asleep, and watch a […]
Gift Ideas for Dad this Father’s Day #LoveHallmarkCA

Revitalized: Rest and Relaxation at Casino Rama
It’s been a pretty stressful year so far. Since Hubby’s accident in February, life has been tough. Work, work, work. Farm, farm, farm. Family, family, family. It’s easy to lose one’s self when there is little to no down time. When the opportunity to sharpen up social media and marketing skills AND get some rest […]
You Could Win FREE Gas for a Year from State Farm Canada! #StateFarmFreeGas
Would you believe me if I told you that you could win FREE gas for a year from State Farm Canada? I don’t know about you, but some days I find “adulting” really challenging. To be honest, having to deal with bills, upon bills, upon bills, and work like crazy, only to do it all […]

Hard to Believe I Haven’t Done Groceries in Three Weeks
It may be lack of time or it may just be tightening our belts, but it’s hard to believe I haven’t done groceries in three weeks! Not having done groceries in three weeks has not been intentional. Life’s been really busy with school starting again and having visitors, and being away for a wedding in […]
Calving Season ~ A Day in the Life of a Farmer #FarmVoices #OntAg
This post on calving season was written by Hubby (aka: Farmer John). John occasionally contributes farm posts in hopes of providing an understanding of farm life, farm practices, and sharing agricultural information with readers. Spring is an exciting time of the year on the farm, mainly because we get to experience calving season. It’s something […]
So, You Want to Marry a Farmer?
Yes, having taught English from 1998 to 2012, I realize that you should never begin a sentence with “so”. So, You Want to Marry a Farmer makes for a fun title though, doesn’t it? I did contemplate on the title and thought I would call this post, A Day on the Farm. So, You Want to Marry […]
