School is finally done today ! and the first thing that came to my children’s mind was to shop for summer clothing and preferably some  hip hop clothing they had expressively told me last night.   We haven’t done much shopping for the summer yet – because we were all busy trying to finish exams and [...]

Preparing for a whole 2 months of summer with the kids isn’t really that easy – that’s for sure.  We will be doing a bit of traveling of course – whats a summer without some vacation and swimming in the pool right?  Are you excited yet?  I am !  I can’t wait to spend some [...]

School is almost over for the oldest and while he is preparing to go to college – the nephew is preparing to go do his  online business school – so that he can stay home with his girlfriend who is having a baby soon.   He didn’t want to miss out on seeing his kid being [...]

I saw one of these at the local pharmacy – and am tempted to get one – not only are they pretty – they can be used now for the summer – during the evenings when friends and family gather around the patio.   Does it really keep one warm – or just to make the [...]

The weather isn’t the best yet – it had been raining hard here – the children and I can’t wait for summer to come because we are all geared up for our road trip to Cape Breton.  We’ve got our emergency roadside assistance and our RV is look at by the garage – and we [...]
