Our front yard is probably a bit bigger than the average Toronto yard compared to others I have seen, It is only several feet away from the street, but thankfully, we aren’t on a main street but just off of one, so there isn’t really much traffic except for people in the neighbourhood. Every now and then I squealing tires and honking horns can be heard in my somewhat quiet neighbourhood, where the speed limit is 40km but some feel the need to go 60km to get to the main street, … Continue reading →

Now that spring has arrived, its time to bring out the bicycles and go for a ride, but just like a car, bicycles need to be serviced at least once or twice a year. My husband has been riding for as long as I have known him, and has now started his own business. He takes pride and pleasure in fixing bikes. There is no job big or small that he can’t fix. He offers quick service and will beat any advertised price. Be safe this summer and have your … Continue reading →

Freshening up the inside of the house. “The not so much fun” things to do, but needs to be done. What I cant wait for is to get … Continue reading →

When my daughter turned one, we decided that we would get her a pet since she showed interest in the neighbourhood animals when she saw them. We decided to get her a cat, so I started the search for a female cat. It didn’t take long to find any, we just had to wait a few weeks until the kitten was old enough to leave her mother. Since our house was already child-proofed, we decided we better get it kitten proofed. ; The day came for us to pick up our … Continue reading →

When you have an infant or toddler, diapers are a big part of your expenses. Finding the right ones through cost and effectiveness takes some time. When my daughter was born we started off using huggies since we were given some as a gift. We continued using them for months, not thinking that we could save money by buying other store brands, figuring the NAME brands would be the best to use. We had been talking about how it was almost time to change the diaper size from newborn to … Continue reading →
