Does The Springfree Trampoline Tgoma Pass The Jump Test?
I am constantly telling my kids to “get off their electronics and go outside”. Seeing them with their faces in a device while the sun is shining makes me unbelievably irritated. However ever since we got a brand new Springfree trampoline with tgoma, I’m happy to give the iPad to them. I know what you’re going to say. But Tiffany, … Continue reading

How My Daughter Met Superwoman Lilly Singh
Remember how obsessed you were over your teen idol? I was obsessed with Debbie Gibson, Michael Jackson, New Kids On The Block and of course, Alyssa Milano. Don’t you judge me. You know you loved her too. I would have given ANYTHING to meet one of them or even be in the same room with them, not counting the 30,000 … Continue reading
2017 Chevrolet Sonic: A Big Turbo In A Compact Car
I admit that when I was offered the use of a 2017 Chevrolet Sonic Turbo to drive over the mountains from Calgary to Vancouver, I was hesitant. The weather can change instantly thru the mountains from sun and blue sky to full on white out blizzard. I much prefer something with all wheel drive for such a trip but since … Continue reading
Dear Mom, You Did A Great Job Raising Me In 13 Years

My Confession After Watching 13 Reasons Why
As a mother, I usually watch teen drama shows from the view of a mother. Gathering information, educating myself, preparing for the eventual topics to talk about along with the standard stuff like safe sex and “say no to drugs”. By the time I got to episode 10, 11 and 12 I realized that I wasn’t just relating to the … Continue reading

Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Soup
This recipe for slow cooker butternut squash soup couldn’t be easier. In fact, the hardest part is peeling the butternut squash. I’m still looking for some miracle hack for that one. I love this soup on cold days, fall days, spring days, pretty much any day. I serve it with a sprinkle of shredded sharp cheddar and a crusty bread. … Continue reading
Chewy Puffed Wheat Squares
Some days I think chewy puffed wheat squares are better than rice krispie squares. They have all the crunch and sweetness of their counterpart but with that creamy cocoa flavour! YUM! My take on the ever popular recipe has a little less puffed wheat cereal and a little more sticky stuff to make them extra chewy. Perfect for the school … Continue reading
5 Shows On Netflix That Will Make You Want To Travel
No, I don’t mean travel shows. We ALL love watching travel shows were some young hipster effortlessly strolls thru a market place in Thailand, pointing out how amazing the shopping is. Lately, I’ve been finding myself watching shows on Netflix where the locations and the background are just as interesting as the storylines. Beautiful cliffs, white sand beaches, ancient castles. All these … Continue reading
