Last week I spent a bit of time clearing out my craft room. I got rid of a lot of stuff and now can actually work in that room. So I have decided to do the same thing with my two kid’s bedrooms. Their rooms are so small and they have so [...]

Earlier this week both kids brought home their first report cards. I’ve got to tell you all that I was highly impressed with the results that I saw. My daughter who is in grade 8 brought home a straight A report card with one A+ and my son who is in grade 6 [...]
I swear the children spend more time out of school than they do in school. This weekend is another long weekend for the children. On Friday they have no school as it is Rememberance day here in Canada. Then of course they will be home for Saturday and Sunday. Will I [...]
Babysitting success
Posted in Kids on Oct 24th, 2011
Last night for the first time ever my husband and I decided to try to see if our daughter and son could be trusted and left home alone. She’s 13 and he’s 11 so really there is no reason they shouldn’t be except that they fight a lot. But we thought we’d give [...]

Normally it’s my daughter who is bugging me about going back to school so you can imagine my surprise when I noticed my son on the middle school website last night. He was checking out the different sports programs that they offer and got quite excited when he discovered that they offer an archery [...]
The kids are helping out quite a bit
