Best Burger Joints in Halifax I know a thing or two about burgers! This past April, Campaign for Kids, for which I am the communications coordinator, ran a fundraiser called Burger Wars. We sold 5502 burgers from 23 restaurants, and I took one for the team and ate just about every one of them! So, […]
Sweet Squares When my friend got married for the take home gift, she made recipe books. When you sent in your confirmation of attendance card you also submitted a recipe. These recipes were then combined into a cookbook and sent home with each guest! I love these kinds of cookbooks because you know everyone puts […]
Coin Hockey Sometimes you need a quick and easy way to keep the kids entertained. This is especially true if you are waiting in a restaurant and you are trying to keep the kids off electronics. Have a few minutes? Have a table? Have 3 coins? Then you have everything you need to play coin […]

Swimming at UPEI We have discovered a hidden gem in Charlottetown! Thanks to a tip from friends, we spent a great afternoon in PEI. Sometimes, when the weather is too cold and wet to go to the beach and the kids are hanging from the curtains, it can be hard to find something to do […]

Thanks to […]
