I often go off on tangents on Pinterest. I will run into one pin I like and then get pin crazy with that idea/theme. That is what happened with my recent party I put together to celebrate a late Father’s Day/early Birthday for my husband. It started with seeing one root beer recipe, and that quickly snowballed into a whole menu of root beer recipe and a matching themed party inspired by Dad’s brand Root Beer.

On Wednesday I did something I said I wasn’t going to do as a parent; I let my son play hooky from school. I had a chance to meet a friend and decided it wouldn’t be the end of the world if I let my son skip one day of Kindergarten to come along and play a round of minigolf with his sister and my friend’s son. Hopefully this doesn’t bite me in the butt later down the road!
Since we were already out and about, we also decided to meet up with my husband for lunch. We ended up with a bit of time to kill in between, so I decided to take a stroll through Chapters and finally check out the new American Girl section in the West Edmonton Mall store.
On our way out of the children’s section of the store, I happened upon this beautiful Finding Dory inspired book on the shelf of Staff Picks. I was immediately drawn to Three Little Words
I feel like I am already way behind in getting this year’s Summer Bucket list completed! Last year my son’s preschool ended in May so we had a whole extra month to take in all the fun without school getting in the way. We also bought our camping trailer last summer and my husband is itching to get out as much as possible, so this opens up a whole new list of things to do and explore this summer! We will be buying a National Parks pass and are looking forward to exploring Banff, Jasper and Waterton, as well as enjoying some of favorites in and around Edmonton.

Bus Driver Appreciation day was celebrated in our school district in April and I came up with these quick little gifts to thank each of my son’s bus drivers for their hard work all year. Now that it is the end of the school year, I thought I would share in case anyone is looking for a last minute gift idea for the bus driver’s, teachers, or other school support staff in your child’s life. Continue reading “Hail to the Bus Driver”
With the school year rapidly drawing to a close, I thought I would compile a list of all the fun treats I came up with to send in for special holidays and birthday treats over the past 10 months. I love the chance to get creative in the kitchen, so when the opportunity comes up to bring in a themed treat I am more then happy to sign up and bake up something new.

My youngest just turned 4 and we celebrated with a colorful and girly My Little Pony themed party. After doing a Princess themed party for the past two years, I was happy to get familiar with some different characters and start a whole new party inspiration board on Pinterest.

Since a Disney trip is not in the cards for us this year, I decided to try and fill that void by booking us tickets to Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream. After reading glowing reviews online and seeing by my 3 year olds reaction to the commercials for the show on Disney Junior, I knew we would all have a great time. Continue reading “Disney On Ice: It Pays to Be Prepared”
Even though I am a stay at home mom, I don’t get the chance to go in and volunteer at my son’s kindergarten classroom because my 3 year old is home with me. To try and make up for this, I often sign up to bring the treats for holiday celebrations and their monthly birthday celebration. Continue reading “Storytime Treats inspired by Mo Willems”
Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park has been on my husband’s camping bucket list for the last several years, so when we finally got a camping trailer we decided to take a week long trip this past August to explore the area.
