George and I have never been much into the costume world ourselves, but ever since Smallie, Smallie 2.0 (and the furry smallie siblings that preceded them) came into our lives, we can’t imagine a Halloween without fully immersing ourselves… as a family. Or what has eventually evolved into what we like to call, Fam-o-ween. Along the […]
DIY Jessie Toy Story Party ACTIVITIES :: On a Budget
We survived the prep, we sorted out the food, we finalized the decorations. So, what next? Planning the Toy Story party activities was our most favourite part of the process. We brought out the toys. We soaked in the vibrant, bold colours. We jumped in the inflatable houses. We had an all around great time! I […]
DIY Jessie Toy Story Party FOOD :: On a Budget
What’s a party without food, right? That’s our philosophy anyway. Even better, Toy Story Party Food! You can have all the decor and do all the preparation you want, but at the end of the day, those kids are looking for some good eats. Then again, if food isn’t top priority to the party planner, […]
A DIY Jessie Toy Story Party on a Budget :: DECOR
Little Mama‘s DIY Jessie Toy Story Party was ready to go after a few weeks of preparation (see our Toy Story party prep post here). We were so excited, and a little… overwhelmed. Little Mama noticed she was matching from head to toe with her decor but didn’t quite know how to process all of […]
A DIY Jessie Toy Story Party on a Budget :: PREPARATION
A Jessie Toy Story Party… On a budget. What the prep!?!? Not too long ago (okay, a million years ago… we were a little behind with this post), Little Mama turned into the not-so-little 5 year old she always dreamed of becoming. Even as a 3 year old, she kept talking about turning 5 and […]
A Valentine’s Day Gift for Preschoolers :: Heart Springs
Valentine’s Day is always a hit for preschoolers and school aged kids, and even now, as a big kid – I’m a huge fan of celebrating this holiday. Yes – everyday should be Valentine’s Day, just how everyday should be Christmas, and in our case, everyday should be Halloween! We should be showing our love and gratitude for […]
Little Lady in Red :: Christmas at the Castle
Weeee! Apparently this Little Lady in red has a pretty exciting event to attend this Christmas holiday! It’s that time of year where we go to Big Daddy‘s “castle” for his company’s annual Family Christmas party. That means, crafts, balloons, and a big, jolly guy in red (much like our little lady in red) bearing gifts […]

First Day of Kindergarten for Little Mama
It’s the first day of kindergarten for Little Mama. And she is nothing short of thrilled. But me on the other hand… I’m just… sad. Why? Because for the last 5 consecutive years, this has been my life… And now, I can barely lift her in my arms. She’s far too busy reaching her own heights. It’s first […]
Teaching My Child the 5 Signs of a Great Friend :: Vol. 39 #5Faves
Back-to-school is literally moments away (for us, anyway… the rest of the world is pretty much in full swing), and backpacks, pencil cases, and bento boxes are flying off the shelves. Kids are squeezing in the last chapters of their summer reads, while parents are pulling their hair out making all attempts to nail down their kiddo’s […]
5 Fave Stylish Little Girl Hairstyles :: Vol. 38 #5Faves
Now that Little Mama is 5 years old, I am constantly in search of creative and stylish little girl hairstyles that would suit her hair length, and dare I say it – sassy ways.

5 Back To School Must Dos :: Vol. 35 #5Faves
Where did July go? Better yet, where did January go? How are we already talking about back to school must dos, when we are barely scratching summer’s surface? Apparently, in spite of the validity of this question, it’s all the world, their kids, and their kids’ dogs are talking about these days. What to wear? […]
5 Fave Things I Never Thought I Would Buy My 5 Year Old :: Vol. 24 #5Faves
Yes. Little Mama‘s five years old. And she’s the only child (ish). So it’s no surprise that the littlest being in our home gets the VIP treatment. Don’t get me wrong, we’re not all about spoiling her (ish). And we try our darnedest not to be the helicopter parents we work so hard to avoid. However, there […]

Little Mama Gives Back :: Teaching The Gift of Giving at Christmas (With Elf Feet)
We have been pretty on top of things this year – and when I say ‘on top of things‘, I mean, we actually DID things this Christmas. Crafts, Holiday family activities (we finally got to ride that horse and buggy!), fun, lame, warm, cold – whatevs! We did it. That’s light years ahead of what we […]
