Living in the GTA we are blessed with crazy amounts of fun activities for kids that I never understood people who are wanting ideas. It’s a simple google search and the options are huge. Having said that not all will be worth your time or money, so based on my obsessive drive to keep my…

Walnut Orange Cake
This is a different take on the regular orange cake, which I usually find as very dry. This has a nice crunch, stays moist, and a great combination of orange and walnut. Easy to make and very simple on the eye but your taste buds will love it. Great for Christmas or thanksgiving, very wintery…
Kids and errands
I have, what I think to be, a higher than usual hyperactive child. It’s always been a challenge to keep him distracted while my wife and I catch up on any semblance of chores. I saw all the videos of Japanese kids cleaning their classrooms, and thought what the hell? Why is my kid not…
Religion and the Environment – A Thought
I don’t consider myself a practising environmentalist, but I certainly do my part and have deep concern for the current stage of the world, and being a traveller that is inevitable when you see the full beauty of this planet. I also do appreciate the impact that I as a person have on the larger…
Urination situation
My son has recently began, or rather regularly continued, a cycle of night bed wetting. My wife can’t relate but when I was his age (6-8) the second round of bed wetting (first round being when I was a baby) was embarrassing, frustrating, and confusing to me. So I completely understand where he’s coming from,…
Easy peezy ice cream cake
This is one of those cakes that looks more difficult when you serve it that to actually make it – which is the kind of cakes I like. More importantly it’s so easy and quick to make, that it will be your go to for company coming over, especially as a nice cool down in…
Why use a pacifier?
The ongoing debate of giving a child a pacifier vs. not continues to rage. I’ve read both articles advocating both sides of the argument, so back to square on really. Inevitably, nothing is black and white and for each decision you make there are consequences and depends on what you are willing to live with….
Arigato Nippon – another world!
Planet Japan – I came, I saw, I was awe-struck!
Before you sign for that new home
So you’re deciding to buy a home, if it’s the first time you do might want to consider a few things as you look for that perfect home. If it’s not your first one, typically you learn from your mistakes and already know some of these, but might be worth reminding yourself if a couple…
Hearty Harira Soup
Don’t let the ingredients overwhelm you, the hard part is chopping but you can do that ahead of time. Avoid using a food processor for that because it’ll do it too fine and you’ll loose that rustic chunky consistency. All ingredients are easy to get and the result will be well worth it. So prep…
