It's finally arrived! The TROLLS WORLD TOUR is available on Digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD!</div>

Queen Poppy, Branch, and the rest of your favourite Trolls are back for another musical adventure that's bigger - and louder - than ever before! In TROLLS WORLD TOUR, Poppy and Branch discover that their kingdom is only one of six musical realms - Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop and Rock - that were once united in perfect harmony. When the power-hungry ruler of the Rock Trolls threatens to silence all other music so her tribe can reign supreme, Poppy and Branch must embark on an epic quest to unite the realms of Troll-kind, before the songs in their hearts are lost forever!</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Our family's takeaway from this adorable movie is that the diversity amongst the Trolls is what made them stronger and that harmony is made from many different voices coming together. The interactive Dance Party Mode was a lot more fun for me then it was for my kiddo as I'm the "dancer" in the family, LOL! As for my kiddo, she's in her teens now and so trying some of the dances for TikTok is more her thing. I love that with Covid-19, it encourages the younger kids (and those young at heart) to get up and move around. We've all been couped-up in our homes and could use the "excuse" to get up and dance</div>

According to today's news release, our beloved Tim Hortons will now be offering a 1-After-7 chance of winning and you don't even have to roll up that rim!<br />
<br />
Let me explain:<br />
Visit any Tim Hortons location to receive a reusable loyalty card OR simply download the newest version of the Tim Hortons App. Personally I prefer using the app. I always have my phone on me, so I'm guaranteed to be making the best use of it while ensuring I make each visit count towards my next Reward.<br />

When you've done that simply visit your local Tim Hortons and flash that app (or card) before each purchase to start your journey to deliciously FREE treats! Take note that a minimum purchase of $0.50 is applicable and the purchases must be made more than 30 minutes apart. Pretty easy right?<br />
<br />
After your 7th minimum purchase (who am I kidding, no one spends <i>JUST</i> 50 cents at Tims' right?), you will accumulate 1 Tims Loyalty Reward which can be 1 of the following:<br />
1) Free Coffee;<br />
2) Free Baked Good (excluding bagels and timbits); or<br />
3) Free Tea<br />
<br />
You can accumulate up to 5 Tims Loyalty Rewards at time. When you redeem your Reward, the most expensive item (from the ones listed above) will be FREE!! You heard it . . . FREE! Winner, Gagnant! * For a limited time, you can earn 1 Reward with your very first purchase of $1.50 or more, so get it while you can! *<br />
<br />

<br />
Now, I started my little blog with a Tim Hortons gift card giveaway when they launched their TimmyMe App, so it's only fitting that I'm going to continue this tradition and offer another giveaway. This time I'll be giving away a $50 Tim Hortons gift card. Enter below to win! Good luck to all of my readers and remember, you can't win if you don't enter!<br />

If there's one thing that can be said about me it's that I love to save money!

Flipp is this girls best friend! You can browse most of your local retail flyers (not just grocery stores either!), build your shopping list and be off on your way to getting the best deals around! </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Using the latest addition of their "Coupon Matchups" option, it shows you where you can price match and add the selected coupon(s) to optimize your savings, I easily save $50-70 a week using this method!</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1) Time to herself. (this includes letting her sleep in!)</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You don't need to send her to a spa, just let her have a day to herself. Let her do whatever she wants to do, ALONE. And by all means, if she wants to go to a spa (she'll be dropping hints if she does), then get her a gift certificate to a local spa and let her enjoy it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>2) A freshly made bed.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ah, who doesn't love the smell of clean sheets? And the feel of neatly tucked in taught sheets against your skin. Need I say more?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>3) Breakfast in bed. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually, make all of the meals that day! There's nothing more satisfying than eating a meal that's been freshly prepared by someone else.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4) Laundry done and put away (same goes for the dishes).</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Nothing else needs to be said about this. It's the "not having to do it" that makes it wonderful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>5) Printed photos. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">OK, so I know you have a gazillion photos stored on your camera, your phone, you google drive, iCloud (I could keep going!). Take the time to pick out and print special photos from the last year, buy a photo album to place them in or print a photobook and wrap it up. She'll love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At the end of the day, showing your mom how much you love her is all she really needs. Flowers and chocolate are nice, but save those goodies to be used randomly throughout the year, she'll appreciate the surprise. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">**Feel free to use the above list for ANY special occasion </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in which to celebrate that special woman in your life!**</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Unless you're a mole man/woman, you already know that Season 2 of Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" is out! I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to this season, so the day it was release I started my binge-watching. I finished the whole thing in 2 days and now I'm dying for Season 3!!! Yes, this fabulous Netflix Original has been renewed for yet another season so here's to another year of waiting. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">March break is an awesome time of year at our house because we spend most of our time beforehand planning our daughters birthday party. With all the hustle and bustle of party favours, invitations, and venue bookings, we often find ourselves without a plan for things to do during the <i>actual </i>break! This year, with our dollar being the way it is, we've decided that we're going to have an awesome family Staycation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Here are 7 ways to get away while on a staycation:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">1) Watch a movie that is set in a tropical location.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>2) Go for a walk in a local conservation area.</b> (We're going to try Geocaching this year!)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>3) Put the internet away for a day. </b>This means no cellphone (except for actual calls!), no emails, no tablets, no video games, and definitely no working from home!</span><br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">4) Visit a local museum, science centre, or aquarium.</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>5) Read a book.</b> Escape through the magic of words. Let yourself be transported into a new world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>6) Go fly a kite. </b>Literally get outside and fly a kite, take a walk, go for a bike ride, or kick a ball around.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>7) Get glamourous.</b> Hair and makeup are not just for celebrities anymore. Get your family all dolled-up and become a hometown tourist.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The wonderful folks over at <i>Church & Dwight </i>have got you covered for your March Break. From taking care of your laundry with OxiClean coldwater detergent packs to taking care of those aches and pains after a long day with night-time Rub A5-35. They've got vitamins tailored for men, women, and Lil' Critters too :) </span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "interstate"; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "interstate"; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 28px;">It's hard to not get caught up in this documentary after the first episode (of ten). </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "interstate";"><span style="line-height: 28px;">Imagine finding yourself a victim of the "justice" system, not only once but twice! We start with a young Steven Avery. A son, husband, and father with his whole life ahead of him, who suddenly finds himself a convicted man, sentenced to 32 years in prison for the sexual assault of a prominent young woman. After fighting for nearly 18 years proclaiming his innocence, DNA evidence exonerates him and places the right man behind bars. Fast forward to a little over 2 years of freedom, and shortly before possibly reaching a 36 million dollar payday, he finds himself back behind bars, this time for murder. While watching the series, episode after episode, I was honestly hoping that this would be a fictional story. I watched a man lose his entire life as the world kept on going. His wife had left him, his children grew older and had children of their own, and there was nothing he could do but sit and wait. As I was watching, I felt the most pain for his parents. F</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "interstate"; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;">ighting to free their son, w</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "interstate"; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;">atching them grow older, and missing out on all the little milestones as the years passed only to find themselves in almost the exact same situation. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "interstate"; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "interstate";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;">I'm not saying they're innocent nor am I saying they're guilty. I'm simply saying that the justice system has failed them both. They both deserve re-trials, too many questions went unanswered and there was a clear conflict of interest from the beginning of the investigation. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;">The directors, <a href="https://twitter.com/allHs" target="_blank"><i>Laura Ricciardi</i></a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/filmgreek" target="_blank"><i>Moira Demos</i></a>, have done a stellar job in condensing 10+ years into a short 10 episode documentary. While there is plenty of controversy surrounding the series, I recommend you watch it and judge for yourselves. If </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;">you've already watched the series, I'd love to hear your thoughts. What did you think?</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "interstate";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;"></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "interstate";"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 28px;">If this were to ever become a movie, here's how I'd cast it. I've added Kathleen Zellner at the end only because, should they be granted re-trials, I think she'll play an integral role in the outcome of this craziness. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Earlier this year my daughter and I had the opportunity of attending our very first Monster Jam. Upon entering the Rogers Centre, all we could hear was loud (I mean REALLY LOUD) engine roaring. Having never been to one of these, I didn't realize that ear protection was a must for kids! Luckily, they sell these adorable monster truck tire ear muffs for adults and kids alike! I have to admit, I had an amazing time!</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I don't know where each and every one of you live, but in the GTA (Ontario) there has been very little snow. So little, in fact, that my grass is still glimmering green! To me, it doesn't really feel like Christmas without snow (I'll even settle for a light dusting). I find that snow just gives it that Christmas feeling (please tell me I'm not the only one!). Well, since I can't control the weather, I have to find some way of "amping" up that Christmas umph inside our home. I can't think of a better way than snuggling up with a warm cup of hot chocolate, with floating marshies, and watching some Christmas classics and newbies. This year, to-date I have watched Home Alone 1, 2, and 3 what feels at least like a thousand times! I even finally got around to watching the 4th for the first time, and to be honest, if you haven't seen it yet, you're not missing much.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_FYocTiec9F4gYBg9i8pEgtNtbWnDQhyphenhyphenFEkbnl6Boo2UePXa1exWW6azlOfN0m9R8f6Y1xvBxGYRimVkEl9uhaahdWkAp6CVkz1e2jfdFIHi4eSi3GYbGRCdA14pHfUlp0q63hUxm1zz/s1600/arthur_christmas_wallpaper_5-wide.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA_FYocTiec9F4gYBg9i8pEgtNtbWnDQhyphenhyphenFEkbnl6Boo2UePXa1exWW6azlOfN0m9R8f6Y1xvBxGYRimVkEl9uhaahdWkAp6CVkz1e2jfdFIHi4eSi3GYbGRCdA14pHfUlp0q63hUxm1zz/s320/arthur_christmas_wallpaper_5-wide.jpg" width="305" /></a><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This year, we've watched quite a few Christmas movies on Netflix already, and our family favourite so far has been Arthur Christmas. If you haven't seen this gem yet, I highly recommend it! Here's the Synopsis:</span><br />
<i><span style="color: blue; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Everyone knows that, each Christmas, Santa Claus delivers presents to every last child on Earth. What everyone doesn't know is that Santa accomplishes the feat with a very high-tech operation beneath the North Pole. But when the unthinkable happens, and Santa misses one child out of hundreds of millions, someone has to save the day. It's up to Arthur (James McAvoy), Santa's youngest son, to deliver a present to the forgotten tyke before Christmas morning dawns."</span></i><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After we put our little one to sleep, we watched the new Netflix Christmas special "A Very Murray Christmas". With it's star-studded cast, we were laughing and singing our little hearts out all the way through. Although a little warning, it's definitely not for children as it has some adult language and content. Check out the trailer and tell me what you think!</span><br />

I've tried, and failed, and tried, and failed again. I've given in to the baking gods and now buy all of my shortbread cookies. For the amount of time, money, and stress that ruining them has cost me, I'd rather spend an extra dollar or two and just buy the darn things! It's a win-win for everyone; I don't stress, and the cookies are delish. Do you have a winning cookie recipe, that's fool-proof (that's what I'm looking for!)? I'd love it if you shared your best shortbread, or any cookie recipe for that matter in the comments below (or a link to one if that's easier). I wonder if this is the year that I finally get it right, LOL! For now I guess I'll just settle on letting our little princess decorate some pre-baked gingerbread cookies ;)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">'Tis the season of giving and the wonderful folks over at Netflix have given me not one, but two (that's right, TWO) 6-month Netflix memberships. As an added bonus, if you already have a memebership and win one of these #Netflixmas gifts, you can add it to extend your membership! So good luck to one and all, and may you all have a wonderful and safe Christmas!</span><br />

The new limited edition Fujifilm Instax Mini Hello Kitty instant camera is the ideal gift for any young girl. Featuring a built in flash for when the light is low as well as automatic exposure to help ensure consistency in exposure no matter the lighting conditions. There is a built-in flash (which also has red-eye reduction). It’s an automatic flash with the ability to adjust the brightness. My daughter has always been a huge fan of Hello Kitty, so when she heard that this camera was coming out, she was super stoked. Keep in mind she's 8 and the camera is as big (if not bigger) than her head! It's next to impossible to not smile when someone is taking your photo with and adorable Hello Kitty face looking at you.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok, let's start from the beginning, we have let our little monkey sleep in bed with us since she was born. They recommended this option to us at the hospital as she was a preemie, the warmth would help comfort her. Well, a few months turned into a year, which turned into quite a few more. Getting her to transition into her own bed was a hassle on its own, never mind the "falling asleep" part. She mastered the art of wearing us out. "I'm thirsty", "I'm too hot", "I'm too cold", "I'm hungry", "I need to go potty", and the my favourite of them all is "I'm trying really hard, but I can't sleep" (then falls asleep within 2 minutes of climbing into our bed). She's the best at what she does, but thank to Netflix and their new partnership with DreamWorks Animation, they've condensed full episodes of Dinotrux from start to finish in just 5 short minutes. This means that the "Can I just watch one more show?" line, can be used and you can "give in" without giving in! In a mere 300 seconds, your little bugger will be speechless as they march themselves up to bed knowing they got exactly what they wanted. <span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><div>

I collected cards, played with the neighbourhood boys during the spring, summer, and fall. I loved (and still love) hockey, but have yet to set foot on the ice with a stick and a puck. I remember asking my parents to put me in a league for girls, but they always said it was too expensive. I understood and took it at face value. When my younger brother turned 10, he asked to be put in a league, and without hesitation money was found, equipment was purchased, and he was enrolled in less than a month. I assumed that this meant I could ask again, and when I did, I was told "Hockey isn't for girls. It's too rough, it's a boys sport." I didn't understand. They knew just how much I loved hockey, why couldn't they just let me play and decide for myself whether or not it was "too rough". Up until that point, I believed I could be and do anything I set my mind to, but my world changed that day. I felt limited because I was a girl. *Not cool mom and dad, not cool* Time has passed, I've grown older and now am proud to have a daughter of my own. She's a little diva who's willing to try anything, and both my wife and I encourage her to do whatever she wants. Last year, after we attended her very first Leafs game, she told me that she wanted to give hockey a try. I was overwhelmed with such joy and pride, and was taken by surprise as she's normally not into sports. I wanted to do for her what my parents didn't do for me. This was my way of somehow re-writing my past, by letting my daughter follow wherever her heart takes her. Her skating may not have been perfect, her skill not refined, but there she was stick in hand, puck on the ice, and a huge smile upon her face. I couldn't help but cry as I watched her live out both our dreams. Things have changed over the years and now I sit with my mom and watch her cheer on my daughter with pride.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As the days get shorter and the air gets crisp, I can't help but turn my thoughts to Christmas carols and stringing lights on our tree. I don't know about you, but with our lives being so hectic, we usually find ourselves scrambling to get those last minute gifts and the cookies out of the oven before they burn! This year, as it will be our first Christmas without both of our grandmothers, we've decided to focus on the most important things, spending quality time with the ones we love and savouring each moment. Christmas without them will undoubtedly be rough and I'm sure there will be tears as we remember them and talk of Christmas' past, but we'll be comforted knowing that they'll be around us.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We've taken advantage of the warmer than usual weather and brought all of our Christmas decor out of storage and immediately got started on decorating our porch. For the last 12 years, somehow we've always waited until it was too late and had ended up decorating with blowing snow and negative temperatures surrounding us. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Not this year! We strung up our entire porch with green garland and then lined them with bright white lights. It was when we went to turn on the lights at night that we discovered that some needed to be replaced! A quick trip to Canadian Tire was definitely in order and off we went.</span><br />

Right at the entrance there were beautifully decorated trees and fully blown-up lawn decorations on display. I couldn't help but take pictures of them, they were so beautiful! As we walked further into the store, the seasonal section had been overhauled and transformed into a Chrismtas decorator's dream. Each aisle was tailored to a specific colour scheme, and what made it really impressive was that it all went together! I tend to find a way of mucking things up, so it was nice to see that they were thinking of me!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">All of our current decor falls in the traditional Christmas colours of red and green, but once we walked into the teal aisle, I fell in love. It looked so crisp, clean, and elegant. After a very short discussion, we decided that this was definitely the year for change and that a new colour scheme would definitely brighten things up. In less than 10 minutes, we were already in need of a second cart! We got so caught up in all the excitement that we almost forgot the very thing that we had come in for, the <a href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/holiday-collections-200-mini-outdoor-incandescent-christmas-garland-lights-assorted-colours-0512635p.html#.VkoP67erSUk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>outdoor white lights</i></a>! As we walked through the rest of the aisles, we picked up a few extras including <a href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/scentsicle-fir-scent-ornaments-6-pk-1515053p.html#.VkoQXberSUk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i>Fir scented sticks</i></a> to scatter through our artificial tree, Canvas Christmas crackers, and a new addition to our Christmas village. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This year our little family of 3 will be hosting Christmas dinner, and it goes without saying that we are in need of more cutlery, dining and serving sets to create the most perfect place settings to host our loved ones. We stepped into the dinnerware section and found such a wide variety to suit any colour palette and style. We picked up a beautiful </span><a href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/canvas-skyler-stoneware-dinnerware-set-white-16-pc-1420994p.html#.VknkV7erSUk" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>16 piece Canvas Skyler</i></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> dinnerware set for $99.99, which is now on sale for 50% off! After seeing that most of the Canvas collection had gone on sale as of last Thursday, we added a stunning </span><a href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/canvas-lattice-dinnerware-set-40-pc-1423554p.html#.VknkxberSUk" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>40 piece Canvas Lattice</i></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> dinnerware set to our collection for $79.99. Luckily we were able to get this one at the sale price. Add that to the 2 </span><a href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/stainless-steel-cutlery-set-newbury-20-pc-1422026p.html#.Vkn6OberSUk" rel="nofollow" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>cutlery sets</i></span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> that we purchased, and we're all set for what this Christmas has to bring us, I think. ~I'm sure a trip or two to Canadian Tire might still be in the stars before the big day~</span><br />

Whether you 1 or 101, male or female, from anywhere around the world. There's no rhyme or reason for it (although doing certain things can definintely increase the risk of getting it). Cancer has touched all of us in one way or another. It makes you wonder how you can help and even wish you could heal them yourself, but you can't. What you can do however, is head on over to the<span style="color: #333333;"> </span><a href="http://www.princessmargaretlotto.com/two/main.php" target="_blank"><i><span style="color: blue;">Princess Margaret Cancer Centre "Welcome Home Sweepstakes"</span></i></a><span style="color: #333333;"> </span>page and order your tickets.

So my kid thinks going back to school is cool. She feels bad for all the other kids who are dreading going back to school. Wait a minute, this is my child? My child who almost a year ago had enough anxiety to kill a cat?!? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I'm so proud as a parent to know that she wants to learn! Netflix released a new series called "<a href="http://www.projectmc2.com/en-ca/home" target="_blank"><i>MC2</i></a>". <span style="background-color: white;">This new series follows four super smart and science-savvy girls as they are recruited to join the secret spy organization, NOV8 ("Innovate"), and the have to learn to work together to save the day. Each possess unique skills, but when combined there's almost nothing that can stop them. </span>Watching the new teen show on Netflix "<a href="http://www.projectmc2.com/en-ca/home" target="_blank"><i>MC2</i></a>" has really given her the push that she needs to know that there are girls out there who love science, math, and all the fun experiments that come along with liking those subjects.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The awesome folks at Netflix sent us a Mckeyla McAlister doll, complete with a lava lamp experiment kit. Well, my little Mikaela was over the moon with the fact that they randomly sent her a doll that had the same name as hers (just different spelling). That evening, we were lava-ing our newest addition to the family! Check out the unboxing video done by the one and only "Mckeyla McAlister" herself!<br />

The last week before school is usually the toughest for my little monkey. Dealing with the anxiety of going to school, meeting new teachers, and having different classmates usually takes it's toll on her, so I took it off to spend some quality time with her and ease her into it. With work, and other stuff going on, it feels like life gets in the way more than I'd like it to and I wanted to make sure she was prepared for an awesome year that lay ahead of her.<br />

Day 1 with her, and man oh man did I realize just how much I love this kid! We started the day off by having a nice chat over breakfast. *It's amazing what kids have to say when you actually pay attention to them. Not to say that I don't pay attention, but usually I have a list of a million other things going on in my head.* Once breakfast was over, we began building our "LoveBot" tin can robot. Check out the short vid of our completed little "LoveBot" on our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/7DtIVNs6ut/?taken-by=momsarecooltoo" target="_blank">Instagram</a>!<br />

Day 2 - Consisted of "mining" for gems<br />
<br />
Day 3 - We grew our very own Crystal Dino<br />
<br />
Day 4 - We dug up Dino bones<br />
<br />
Day 5 - And on our last day, we made some really neat glow-in-the-dark snow and attempted a game of "Justin Bieber's Backstage Pass". Our pup was just as amused as I was *insert sarcasm here* Don't get me wrong, I like the Biebs, its the game that was a little . . . different.<br />
<br />
We concluded our awesome week with our family tradition: the annual "End-of-Summer" trip to the CNE. <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Cancer sucks. I don't know anyone who hasn't been affected directly or indirectly by this disease. Just recently, a dear friend of mine that I met at a conference last year lost her husband to this monster. 4 blogger friends of mine are currently either battling cancer themselves, or are slowing losing their loved ones because of it. It breaks my heart to be hearing this happening on a more frequent basis. Back in 2004, my partners grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I believe that, because of the treatment and wonderful care he received from the staff at Princess Margaret Hospital, we were able to enjoy an extra 10 years with him. He eventually passed away due to the effects of dementia, but we are forever thankful for the extra time we were given with him. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Everyday, over 500 Canadians will hear the words “I’m sorry, you have cancer” and their families, friends and co-workers will rally together and prepare for the fight of their lives.

Each Thursday, I'd like to feature tracks from a certain year, nothing too specific, no genre will be left out. In this debut edition of Thursday BackTraxx #TBT, I'd like to take you back to 2003 and give you some of the sweet sounds of that summer. But first, lets recap some major events of that year shall we? Jean Chretien</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgMLutH6nzN2G1sr46EKBTpQUu1st-9S_3eYbZUTsRpLKzdCgvCXNBqPBR68HuDcXY6qQ1ojjBulZpOy-409iD81gwDGjAbUVDfaCugmHzLjSSYX2oN53oNRbtCNO6aAQEc3_NV_KBiZba/s1600/2003.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgMLutH6nzN2G1sr46EKBTpQUu1st-9S_3eYbZUTsRpLKzdCgvCXNBqPBR68HuDcXY6qQ1ojjBulZpOy-409iD81gwDGjAbUVDfaCugmHzLjSSYX2oN53oNRbtCNO6aAQEc3_NV_KBiZba/s320/2003.png" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">was our Prime Minister, same-sex marriage became legal in 8 provinces, it was the year of SARS, Mad Cow, West Nile, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and the great Blackout which affected most of southern Ontario, Quebec, and parts of the northeastern United States! Yep, that blackout happened just 9 days before I was set to marry my best friend, greatest supporter, and future babymama :) As of this Sunday (the 23rd) we've been married for 12 years. 12, can you believe it? I remember it like it was yesterday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've made a playlist of some songs that made their debut in 2003. The first and last tracks are set that way as they were our first and last songs at our wedding. Alright, so MJ'S classic wasn't 2003 hit, but it was the first song played at our wedding. I can still hear my father belting out some jumbled lyrics to 50 Cent's P.I.M.P over the DJ's sound system. He took the MC's mic and was killing it right to the end!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What's your favourite song of 2003? I just might add it to this playlist :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Being on a limited budget in our household means having to create our own little adventures. Although we love playing outdoors, we also enjoy our rainy days. It gives us the time to cuddle up and spend some quality time together. So. . . what can you do when you're "stuck" inside? At our house we play dress-up (and no, you're never too old to play dress-up!), some classic board games, we bake, and our fave thing to do is escape in some of Netflix's awesome content while enjoying our famous "Indoor-Smores". What makes them famous, you might ask? Well, not much, except for the fact that I make them. My little one will not have it any other way!</span><br />

We watched an advanced screening of the first 2 episodes of Netflix DreamWorks' "Dragons: Race To The Edge" series. It was a day jam-packed with activities and snacks.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We received a "Dragons"-themed kit from our awesome friends over at Netflix, and amongst the goodies were a warm fuzzy blankie, and inflatable sword (for all of our dragon slaying!), awesome masquerade masks, sidewalk chalk, and delicious Dragon Scales, and Dragon Claws.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So what have Toothless and Hiccup been up to? This summer, our favourite characters from the critically acclaimed How to Train Your Dragon films are embarking on unparalleled adventures in the all-new Netflix original series Dragons: Race to the Edge - and inviting you along for the dragon ride. Soaring beyond their home on the island of Berk in search of new dragons, Dragons: Race to the Edge introduces some of the most exciting dragons yet, each with its own amazing abilities -- shock waves, cannon balls and fire blasts, just to name a few. With the magical Dragon Eye, an artifact Hiccup finds aboard an abandoned ship, Hiccup learns there is more outside the confines of Berk, and that a little curiosity and determination can make every day an exciting journey. In Hiccup’s own words, “this changes everything.”</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">With the Pan Am games in town, my little one loves to try all the fun tricks that she sees the gymnasts doing on tv. It's amazing to see how inspired she is by all of the amazing athletes that have been welcomed to our great city. Our couches have magically turned into make-shift trampolines, there have been many attempts at "synchronized" swimming in our tiny backyard pool with her cousins, and running laps around the park with our pups, all to get the gold medal!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Usually after work, I'm pretty pooped and want to do nothing more than to get home and just chillax. But having an active 8 year old means that we need to tire her out before she outtires us! I've found that the only way to beat being tired is to get out there and get more active. It's been proven that any form of exercise will usually increase your energy levels, which will make you feel awesome, and help improve your sleep (which is what you wanted to do in the first place AMIRIGHT???). We live in a pretty suburban neighbourhood but are surrounded by conservation areas where there is always something new to discover along the way. Our little one loves nature and loves studying animals in their natural habitat, so we don't mind taking a little longer on our walks as it's a win-win-win (she gets to explore, we get to bond as a family, and we all get to stay active). </span><br />
