“The best surprises are the ones when someone makes an effort to make you smile” *This blog post was written in partnership with KinderSurprise.ca My children are always surprising me. I don’t think a day goes by when I’m not surprised by something they do. When they were babies they surprised me when they hit developmental […]
Maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle is an integral part to styling the inside of our lives. It isn’t always easy to make the healthy choice especially if you’re a busy parent on the go but staying informed, and educated can help with this.

I think people are super surprised when I tell them my mom is Chinese. My sisters and I totally take after our Italian and Scottish father. We didn’t typically grow up doing anything traditional for Chinese New Year aside from my mom giving us some lucky money. I do recall my mom buying mandarin oranges […]
One of our favorite Christmas traditions to do with the family during the holidays is to grab a cup of warm cocoa and check out Christmas lights. Some families like to bake during the holidays, others like to craft, and some families love to walk around with some hot cocoa in hand, and look at […]

It’s that time of year again. The dreadful cold and flu season is upon us. Luckily, my children haven’t caught anything yet and I’m hoping they don’t. Last year my entire household caught the flu bug and it was not fun! I feel so bad for the kids when they’re weak, helpless and sick. There […]
Happy April 1st friends! The sun is shining here in beautiful Vancouver, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and best of all… the kids are back in school after a two-week Spring Break vacation. Although we had a blast venturing out to different places in the city and enjoyed various activities, I have, to […]
Spending time with my daughters outside of my daily `bossing`them around and mundane activities, can often times be challenging, especially since I have three! In other words, I want to nurture my bond with each of them but I’m not always making the time. My two eldest daughters are beginning to shift from little girls […]
