Just seven days after my sons grad party we hosted another party this time for my youngest daughter. She graduated the same week, back to back, it was one hectic week I tell ya.
The parties were the fun part! She wanted a strawberry themed party, I of course had no objections to that, anyone who knows me knows that I super love anything to do with strawberries! …

The time has come, it just happened so fast! I know you would think we as parents had all this time to prepare for this moment, but in actuality it hit us hard, as if time just passed and we don’t know how it happened! …

My daughter Dina had a business project with a partner, her job was to come up with a edible playdough and her friend was in charge of marketing, they had to present it to the class as if they were on one of those shows like the Dragons Den or Shark Tank. The project was a succsess! I decided to write a post about it and share the recipe with you, as I had wished I knew of a homemade recipe when my kids were little. I really can’t stand the smell of store bought dough, and how it sticks to everything and always having to watch the kids making sure they weren’t going to eat it. With homemade dough, no worries about any of that!…

Tis the season of cold and flu…and in my house that means getting a jump start on building up our immune system! A few years ago I had the ‘swine flu’ and I cannot tell you how sick I was, and with three kids to take care of. I just don’t know how I did it, it could have been worse if I didn’t know these tips that I will share with you today! …
I have a story to share with you, I read it a while ago….not sure where I found it…but a friend of mine re- posted it and so I was able to read it again. I wanted to share this with you, as it has touched me and makes me appreciate my mother and grandmother and the sacrifices they made.
The sacrifices a mother makes for her children is something that is amazing and just comes naturally. A mother sacrifices even the last morsel of food for her children, this mother sacrificed something even greater.
No matter where your from in the world, we all can relate as mothers….the love, bond we have with our children is something we all share!
Mothers day is this weekend…but who says its only one day in a year! Mothers day is everyday! Wouldn’t it be nice to surprise your mom when she least expects it at any time of the year!?
To all the Moms out there, thank you for your care, love and compassion and sacrifices! We love you!…
From my fellow Canadian blogger and friend Katrin 🙂 So glad that we met through this foodie land<3 If you don’t already know Katrin or her blog go check her out runningwiththedevil-eggsthatis! !:)…
