Ready for my secret reveal? I am finally going to share with the world a piece of me… I am a tattooed mama- though you would never know it- I am. When I was younger I never thought of the idea of getting a tattoo as much of a choice. In my family, we just didn’t think to even ask or do something so altering to our bodies. Then my brother-in-law came into the family- tattooed, pierced and a full on tattoo artist too. Within a few years, we were…

I am not personally a fan of soup, nor a fan of chickpeas or spinach….BUT I love this soup! My mother and aunt have been making it for years and I have finally decided to make it at home for my boys. Since most kids hate veggies, I pureed theirs to look like what we like to call ‘Swamp Soup.’ Later I realized they liked the soup with the ‘chunks’ too…either way, this is a hearty and delicious soup the whole family can enjoy! PLUS it is the perfect meal when…
Since Earth Day is fast approaching, what better way to get your children (and yourself) motivated to kick it into high gear then with movies and education?I love Netflix for the simple fact that movies and documentaries are categorized for viewers like myself. I am a strong believer of showing my kids real-life without sugar-coating our environment. I feel that if they see things first hand, I can have the opportunity to show and explain to them why things happen. We have been watching some great Netflix…
When I was asked to review the Infiniti JX35, I jumped at the chance!! Just look at this Crossover!When I first drove the Infiniti JX35, I was surprised to see how smoothly it actually drives….a little too smooth at first. I am used to pressing on the gas to accelerate and breaking often takes a while to come to a complete stop. NOT with this car! Breaking is fast and efficient, and accelerating is soft and smooth! While driving this car for a week, I felt as if the whole ‘driving’…
This post is part of YummyMummyClub.ca‘s support of the Dove Celebrate Mom Contest. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post reflects my personal opinion about the information provided by the sponsors. You can nominate inspiring moms here: www.CelebrateMom.ca. Inspirational women are all around me, friends, family members, idols and even strangers. The way these women interact with their children, carry themselves, how they think and what they have accomplished is often overwhelming. Thinking back, the only person I hold high on the pedestal of perfection is my mother.…
They taste so good, you won’t believe veggies are hidden inside! Here is a great recipe for kids and adults alike! I gave these to my sister to taste, and she couldn’t even tell there were vegetables in them! **TIP** I always sprinkle with granulated sugar or caramel chipits on top. Gives this recipe a little more ‘sweetness’ but they still taste great on their own too!! Before you start: Grease and flour 12 muffin cups. Ingredients: 2/3 cup vegetable oil 2 eggs 2/3 cup…
Let’s face it, sometimes dessert is necessary…ok for some of us it is always necessary! lol Every year, in the summer we have made a traditional dessert in our home called ‘edible sand.’ Basically it consists of cookie crumbs and Philadelphia cream cheese and usually eaten in a plastic bucket, but for the purposes of this post I we did not have many cookie options nor clean new buckets to eat from so we substituted with a plain bowl and Dad’s Original Oatmeal cookies. I personally love this dessert because…
