Life As A SAHM Was More Emotionally Taxing Than My Job

December 1, 2018 by Alexandria Durrell 161 Comments

For ten years, I worked tirelessly at home as a business owner, freelance writer, mom, and wife, and I thought I was the happiest woman alive. As it turned out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. Despite my insistence that my life at home was exactly what I wanted, it took a major shift to realize I’d … [Read more...]

August 31, 2017 by Heather Dixon Leave a Comment

Hey little gals, Did you know that ever since you were born, I’ve been devouring as many parenting articles as I can? I really believe that knowledge is power.

Screw The Summer Learning—This Break, I’m Letting My Kids Just Be Kids

June 29, 2017 by Leslie Kennedy 1 Comment

Another school year has come to an end. I remember the last days of school fondly. We’d all scream “no more pencils, no more books!” The last day of school was always the best day ever. Sure, we’d maybe miss our friends and teachers over the summer but that final moment of leaving the school on … [Read more...]

Summer Came Early And I’m Barely Hanging On

June 24, 2014 by Amanda 4 Comments

I live in BC where the all the teachers in the province went on strike last week, bringing summer holidays a full two weeks earlier than I was emotionally prepared for.

Asking the Big Questions

September 18, 2013 by Amanda 2 Comments

We are asking big questions right now. Questions like: how do we want to live, how do we want to work, what are the real priorities for our life and family? It's so easy to rattle off phrases like, "My kids and marriage come first!" but then live as though the opposite is true, giving all your best … [Read more...]

Daddy Day Care

August 20, 2013 by Ryan Leave a Comment

This past Saturday my bro-in-law James and I were put to the test. My wife (his sister) went away for the whole day, and his wife (my sis-in-law) was at work all day. That left the two of us and our combined 6 kids to fend for ourselves. Our precious cargo consisted of a one year old, 2 three year … [Read more...]

Every Lunch Hour I Go On A Guilt Trip

July 17, 2013 by Ryan 1 Comment

I'm the kind of guy that eats a lot of the same thing day in and day out. A few years ago when I was trying to lose weight I ate a quarter chicken with salad (balsamic vinaigrette on the side) for 4 straights months. Turned out it worked. I lost around 18 pounds. I credit my OCD and bland palate to … [Read more...]

I am excited about this

June 22, 2013 by Nancy 6 Comments

[youtube id="YYnr2ZF-TsY"] I am really excited about this. For almost 12 years I have been teaching children and adults art and I continue to do this. I have touched every single canvas that has gone through my business. While this makes my work very personal it also limits my reach.  I have … [Read more...]

Hog Wild

May 28, 2013 by Amanda 4 Comments

Marriage is hard. Rather, marriage is hard when life gets in the way of it. When Steve and I were in Hawaii, just the two of us (for the first time in eight years) we were so happy, so blissful, so in love. But that's not reality, walking down the white-sand beach with a pina colada in hand with no … [Read more...]
