lilsugar

My family and I have been Canada’s Wonderland ambassadors for many years now, but what is more important is that we have also been members of the park for years before that. When I was little we’d visit with my parents annually, and as a teen my very first job was at Canada’s Wonderland. The park has been a huge part of making memories ever since I can remember. One of the things that we revisit upon park opening every year is indulging in their famous funnel cakes. Funnel cakes…

Loaded Burrito Bowl Recipe

lilsugar

It’s no secret that I am slightly in love with all recipes that call for a little bit of chorizo. I make these healthy burrito bowls for myself at least once a week for lunch or a quick dinner option because they are so easy to make and taste amazing. If I am being completely honest, I do not like vegetables. I know, I am a horrible example of a grown woman but it’s the truth. It takes a lot for me to eat healthy on a regular basis and…

Need a last minute gift idea that won’t break the bank, or perhaps something to make your house feel a little extra merry this holiday season. Stovetop potpourri is one of my favorite smells! Especially because it can be made easily, reused a couple of times and simply made up for gifting too. The combination of oranges, cranberries, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks just feels like Christmas. Simmer on low for a couple of hours and your home will feel so cozy and inviting. The smell lingers for hours afterwards too!  …

Simple Valentine Dinner Ideas Your Kids Will LOVE

lilsugar

Everyone wants to be the Pinterest mom, the woman who brings it all together for every single occasion with little to no effort. Truth is, it is nearly impossible to pull everyday off with the Martha Stewart flair we all long to have. Some people just have  the ‘it’ factor and some just seem to fake it easily. I am the latter, I pretty much take the easy way out of celebrations and I tend to do it with ease because I focus on the things that (in my opinion)…
