A Mama Necklace From Tiny Feet Creations


When my kids were really small, I was gifted a hand stamped necklace with their initials on it. I wore it all the time, but one day I realized that the pendant was missing. I am not sure how or when it fell off, but it made me sad.  I never replaced it.

Recently, I was gifted a hand stamped necklace from Kamerine at Tiny Feet Creations. It's a metal washer, with the boys names on it - and added in are gemstones to represent their birth months. I was given the choice of 2 different fonts, and the gems were optional, which I chose to have included.

When I received the finished product, I was very happy with how it turned out.


Kamerine makes many different products. They would make a great gift for your mom, your wife, or any new mom in your life. You can see them on her facebook page or on her etsy page. Don't be afraid to approach her with an idea either, she does sometimes make custom pieces.

March Break Has Come To An End



The kids have been back in school for a few days, and routines have returned.  Over the last few weeks, I have been dreading the break. Absolutely dreading it. That makes me sad. I was always one of those parents that absolutely LIVED for school breaks. We would have countdowns on the calendar until the next break. I loved having my kids home with me, being able to laze around watching movies, visiting with friends/cousins and going out to museums, play centers or movies.

Over the last 18 months or so, things have been pretty rough with my kids. They don't get along - almost ever. They fight constantly (bickering annoys me, but I can handle that.....but 97% of the time it ends up physical). I have tried separating them, taking things away, ignoring the behaviour etc....and it hasn't changed. It stills happens multiple times a day.

That can take it's toll on a parent. Not to mention the 3 year age difference (but with it being 3 years, Mr. K is pretty "young" for 7, so it seems more like 4-5 years sometimes) that makes it hard to find destinations that appeal to both of them.

I am happy to report that this March break was quite pleasant. We made slime, baked cookies, played lots of board games, and they were also not together for a lot of it. My niece spent some time at our house, Mr. K spent a lot of time with his Gramz, Mr. J went to my brothers for 2 nights, and Mr. K was at Beaver camp this weekend.

It has actually given me some hope for this summer (which I was dreading after summer 2017). So tell me - are you ripping your hair out and ready for school to be back in session, or did you have a great break?

When Calls The Heart: The Heart of Homecoming


 I started watching When Calls The Heart a few years ago, and love watching the goings on in the small frontier town. Today, you can own the special The Heart of Homecoming on DVD!
"The love story blooming in Hope Valley continues with the television special When Calls the Heart: The Heart of Homecoming on DVD from Shout! Factory on March 20, 2018.

From celebrated author Janette Oke (The Love Comes Softly series) comes a rigorous and romantic adventure as epic as the wide frontier. Erin Krakow (Army Wives), Daniel Lissing (Eye Candy), Jack Wagner (Melrose Place) and Lori Loughlin (Full House, 90210) star in When Calls The Heart, a beautiful story filled with “many of the values we all hold precious such as love, family, friendship, community, faith and caring about one another” (Military Press)!

The citizens of Hope Valley find the true meaning of the holiday season with a Wishing Tree that helps everyone’s dreams come true. As Abigail, Bill, and the rest of Hope Valley work together to create a special Christmas parade to warm the town’s collective hearts and bring everyone closer together, Elizabeth longs only for the return of her beloved Jack."

Are you a fan of When Calls the Heart? I have been rooting for Jack and Elizabeth since the beginning.

Sharpie Watercolour Ocean 16 Page Preschool-K Printable



When my kids were small, I was always looking for fun learning activities they could do.  This watercolour activity is fun for kids to paint, but also helps with printing, spelling and reading. Trace the letters and sound them out, then read the word - finish by painting the picture.  You can also buy educational books to learn more about the ocean and what is found in it.
