As soon as the snow melts I start getting antsy about being back outside. This year’s never ending winter just about drove me insane (in fact, I ended up setting up the kids trampoline two snowstorms too soon). Over the past couple of years we’ve taken a basic yard, and turned it into a backyard…
Bakery Style Oreo Cake

So, last month a bucket list goal of mine came true and I was offered to partner with Dyson for a couple of blog posts. We’re about to do a deep dive here folks, because I have been OBSESSED with their vacuums for over a decade, and with this Dyson Ball Animal 2, some of…

It’s absolute perfection paired on a crisp fall day with some apple cheddar muffins! Fall has always been my favourite season. I’ve never been a sun worshiper, the heat just ain’t my thing. In the fall though, when the…
