This past weekend, my family and I had the chance to take a little trip to Toronto (my second home!) to catch a Toronto Argonauts football game, thanks to Old Navy Canada .   It was the perfect weekend—warm and sunny—and the perfect way to say goodbye to summer.  We got the chance to wear the new officially licensed CFL Superfan Nation sports shirts from Old Navy which made us feel like true fans. Go Argos, Go! We loved the shirts so much. They were the perfect fit. The best part? They're completely, ridiculously affordable. We're talking under $20.00 for the men's shirts and just $12.00 for the children's shirts. Total score, right?  (Or should I say... touchdown?)  Usually sports shirts are very expensive, so it's great that there is an alternative now—so everyone can show their love and support of their favourite sports team without breaking the bank! These shirts are so cute, we'll wear them even if when we're not at a ...

It's August, so that means it's officially time to start thinking about a new fall wardrobe! Okay, perhaps not an entirely new wardrobe—but it's certainly time to make room in your closet for a few new pieces, right? When I was in school, my favourite part about going back (along with seeing all my friends again) was the going shopping part. From school supplies to clothes, it really was the happiest time of the year. Now that I'm no longer a student (I miss those days!) I love taking my boys back-to-school shopping for all the new things they need to start the school year off to a great start. We do a lot of our shopping in Old Navy because of the stylish clothes and the really, really affordable  prices. I love working with Old Navy for their annual Family Day event, too! Whether you're a high school student, starting university, or going into the third grade, Old Navy is full of amazing, stylish, clothes for everyone. And? The Old Navy back-to-school sa...

Life is busy. Sometimes overwhelmingly so. Being a mom is a constant job, and having a full-time job on top of everything else? Might as well throw the word balance out the window. But, busy is good, for the most part, despite the lack of sleep and constantly being on the go. I do wish life came with a pause button, though. These moments with my boys are precious, all of them. And time passes too quickly, it's almost scary. The days I can drop the boys off at school and pick them up are extra moments with them that I'm grateful for. Conversations in the car, extra hugs on the playground, and big smiles when they see me at the end of their day make my heart skip a beat. I wish my schedule would allow me to do drop-off and pick-up everyday. It's something I'm working on. Blogging has slowed down a bit for me, because I can't turn the computer on when I'm home and my children are awake. If there are distractions, I might miss things like: "Mommy, I don't ...

It seems like February is the busiest month of the year. Maybe because it's a short month, or maybe because keeping busy when it's so cold helps us forget how bad the weather is outside. I have Post-It notes everywhere to remind me of all things I will likely forget if I don't have constant reminders to look at. I'm happy it's a busy month, because it means we are one step closer to summer. (Call me optimistic if you will...) I've been busy playing catch-up at home and at work, and staying on top of all the school and after school activities with my boys while trying to maintain a somewhat active social life. Also, can we talk about how hard it is to get six year old boys to focus on homework? It's not an easy task, let me tell you. I'm breaking out in a cold sweat just thinking about it. I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like to be, here or on my Yummy Mummy Club shopping blog , but I hope to fall into a more regular routine again once all...
