It wasn't long after that last school bell rang that I was digging deep into our bins of footwear, sorting out mine and my children's shoes. A quick inventory and having them try on so many that it would make Cinderella jealous, proved that we all needed summer footwear. Sure some were outgrown since we wore them last, but we actually wear summer footwear all year long - with any vacations and special events that come ... read more
Comfort Matters in Family Travel
We as a family have travelled often enough that I can pack in a moments notice, and have a ton of tricks up my sleeve. Looking back to our first voyages, it was a lot of trial and error when deciding what to pack for our trips - and most importantly, learning what was crucial to bring and what really isn't needed. What it really comes down to, is safety and comfort when travelling. The trip can really suffer ... read more
Mother Daughter Date Ideas
With three daughters and an obviously chaotic schedule, finding time to connect with each of my kids individually, is pretty tough to pull off. As much as I'd love to have more time, energy, and resources to designate ample opportunities to 'just be with' one child at a time, it's oftentimes not feasible. Yet if the conditions are just right {my husband isn't away working, or activities and the schedule ... read more
Put a Spring in your Step
We've had great pre-spring weather here in Alberta, resulting in melted snow and 'beautiful' brown grass gracing our presence. Yet wouldn't you know it, once it officially became springtime - snow appeared in the forecast for the next week. I'm insisting that the weather cooperate with the calendar! Despite the grey skies and the persistent chill falling upon us, hopefully it's just one last go of the ... read more

Great Steps Throughout the School Year
For most, the new school year has began. Like a whirlwind. Somewhere in the weeks leading up to this big milestone; items were purchased, labelled, and sent. Our hope is that the 12 glue sticks is enough {?}, the clothes remain hole-free, and you don't get any type of letter home from the school that leads to the regret that all your hard work and prep went to waste. Like this one: 'Here are your child's indoor ... read more
SoftMoc for Back to School
Recently I headed into our local SoftMoc shoe store for some back to school shopping. This aspect of this seasons prep is one that I don't care much for. As many shoes as my kids have, it seems like I'm buying endless pairs this time of year. Fall footwear, indoor shoes for school, boots and then specialty footwear for activities like dance - that's a whole lot of shoe shopping, even for those that grin like the ... read more
SoftMoc – Birkenstock for Spring and Summer 2015
Besides touring magnificent castles, churches, streets and iconic attractions during a trip to Germany when I was in High School - I had one other specific mission. To get a pair of Birkenstock sandals! I had wanted a pair after falling in love with a style my friend had, and almost made that purchase at home, for the trip. Then I decided that if I was going to get this German brand of shoe and was going there anyway - ... read more
Skechers Winter Boots
After trying for years to avoid anything to do with winter, I've settled on the 'if you can't beat them, join them' attitude. It was actually my daughter that pointed out a few years ago, that we never went sledding or skating etc, and my 'I hate winter' response was getting old. I had to buck-up, slap on that fake smile and get out there. Brrrr. So, here we are, in winter yet again and one must prep for the season, ... read more

Stonz Winter Bootz
Last week resembled the definition of weather here in Alberta. It was a warm 20°C one day and 2 days later, -15°C. The morning resembled Fall and the next there's a blizzard out my window. As much I try to organize the chaos and be prepared for anything, it's something that's always a work in progress. For example: I was packing for my daughters Girl Guides weekend campout, and realized she had to bring ... read more

Swaying People to the ‘Love Them’ Side
I really do think that Crocs get a bad rap from some that believe this brand could never be stylish. Pfft. Fact: The original Crocs were a hit with some and a fail with others. A love 'em or hate 'em type of shoe. I personally see them of upmost importance when it comes to activities such as camping and gardening. A friend of mine wears them indoors and for work, due to the think cushioning and how they ... read more
