The Best Gifts from Best Buy

He’s making a list, checking it twice…this line no longer applies in my household because I live with teenagers. Now that my kids are older, electronics are at the top of their list. I have no doubt that if you have older kids, a husband or just love electronics yourself, Best Buy is the go-to…

Red Velvet Pancakes for Your Special Valentine

February 9, 2015momstownRecipeNo commentsFamily, Holiday, Nutrition, Parenting, Preschool, Winter

Since we celebrate Valentine’s Day (of which I recently heard someone call “Single’s Awareness Day”!) on February 14th and Pancake Day on February 17th this year, I thought it would seem logical to have a recipe that is relative to both of these commemorations.

Valentine’s Day and Pancake Day both have their roots in demonstrations of love, and the idea that we must show another the love that is in our hearts. So, this recipe is well suited.

These red velvet pancakes are surprisingly simple, super festive, and I have added a special ingredient which makes them extraordinarily fluffy!

Ringing in the New Year with Momstown

January 9, 2015momstownFamily Life, Preschooler, ToddlersNo commentsHoliday

This year our Momstown New Years Eve (12:00pm) Party was one to remember! I think it was way more fun than what I was doing at 12:00am that night. We had a great time. We had over 120 friends attend our party and there was tons to do. We teamed up with Parkview Church and hosted the party in their beautiful facility. They have a kids climber play area that all of the kids enjoyed. Parkview supplied coffee and tea for all of our parents and some delicious cotton candy for the kids (and parents too!).

We had three crafts available at different tables. There was some colouring at on table, we were making paper plate tambourines at another table and the last table we were making very colourful New Years eve party hats.

Freezer Meal Recipe #1: Shepherd’s Inn Breakfast Pie

December 18, 2014momstownRecipeNo commentsChristmas, Easter, Family, Holiday, Mother's Day, Nutrition, Thanksgiving, Winter

Well, it is pretty safe to say that Canadians generally wait in hopeful expectation to see the beginning stages of the great Canadian winter.You know, the first snowfall, fun and cozy, long underwear, snuggly winter pajamas, toe- wiggly, warm slippers, chestnuts roasting by an open fire, and so on. This excitement quickly moves to a hibernation stage, as we not-so-eagerly look outside to see the snow piles heaped so high, that we have to dig ourselves out of our driveway in the frost-biting, bone-chilling cold days ahead. So, let’s just resolve to make some good old-fashioned comfort food, shall we? Whether it’s shepherd’s pie, soul-warming soup, or mouth-watering and cheesy quiche, that makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside, we’ve got a freezer meal recipe that will help you to find refuge from harsh weather and biting cold in the comfort of your kitchen.
