Let me start off by saying that taking the kids to swimming lessons, has historically been, one of my least favourite things to do as a parent. It’s really is just not my thing. Ask my girlfriends – I grumble about it every time the kids are registered.
…AND…for a whole laundry list of reasons, I ESPECIALLY detest taking the twins to swimming lessons in the wintertime! [Read more…]
Ever since my husband and I scored tickets to the Ellen Degeneres Show, the number one question I have gotten is, “How did you get tickets?” – so I thought I would write about it for you!
Here is the good news my friends – it actually really wasn’t that difficult. It just took time, patience, teamwork, and a little flexibility!
Periodically, the Ellen Show opens up their website to accept ticket requests for a select range of dates. That’s a [Read more…]
Here’s a funny story – Not that many weeks ago, I was on the verge of closing my Instagram account . I literally had a conversation with my BFF telling her that I have been thinking about shutting it down for a while.

Wow! I can’t believe I’m finally here!
This tiny idea of having a personal/lifestyle blog has sort of become a bit of a project, so I am elated to finally be sharing it with you!
(starting a blog seems like it should be simple but, man, there are A LOT of things to consider before actually getting to put your pen to paper! That’s definitely going to have to be a blog post later!) [Read more…]
Hi! I’m Dionne – and, welcome to my mommy blog!
I’m a busy mom to kindergarten-aged twins, a small business owner, and a wife.
…and when I can, I try my best, to be a good friend!
