In A World of Graphics Is Content Still King?
I’ve been feeling a bit jaded by the whole blog thing. I’ve actually been feeling a bit jaded about the whole internet thing. As I’ve been trying to learn how to get my content out there for a wider audience, it has been becoming clearer and clearer that the internet is one huge grift. I have read what feels like a million posts about starting a blog and the number one thing all these helpful posts say is that you need to be able to be helpful, provide a service or advice and then they will provide me with a “freebie” mini-course, printable whatever. Well I can tell you I’ve…

The Worlds Most Excellent Five Ingredient Hamburgers
One of the few meals my whole family will eat without complaint is hamburgers. The only caveat is that they must be these Most Perfect Hamburgers. The store-bought frozen pucks just will not do. Luckily, these perfect hamburgers only require five ingredients. They are fast, easy, and taste as good cooked on the grill or in your cast iron pan. (Or any pan you choose. However, we try to cook everything in cast irons – check out my favorite here). What are the five ingredients? You should have all of them in your pantry, fridge, and freezer. (check out my post about stocking your pantry/freezer here) The Fab Five: That’s…

Although weeknights can be hectic, due to rushing out of work to pick up kids and then quickly preparing dinner before rushing off to the next activity or two.

As a result of this way of thinking, there are more obese kids now than ever before in history. Statistics Canada reported, that in 2022, one in three Canadians aged 18 and older were obese! That’s 30%…

How to Feed a Family of 5 for $200 a Week or Less
Today I will teach you how to save hundreds a year with meal planning. This meal plan is designed to feed a family of 5 for $200 or less. When my husband and I first started having kids we decided what would make the most sense would be for me to reduce my work hours to part time. I would stay home with our son and my mom – for a nominal fee which we insisted she take – would stay with him the days I worked. Then our second child we moved to a less affordable (but still manageable) home in 2019. We were still living the good life…

Shopping Mindfully: How to save $100’s on Groceries
As most Canadian families are now dealing with the insane inflation that has affected grocery stores across the country, I’ve found myself finding ways to feed my family healthy meals without breaking the bank. According to an article in Forbes Advisor, as of February 2023, grocery prices in Canada had risen 10.6%! I don’t know about you but to me, that is absolute insanity! And I can tell you with 100% certainty that prices have only increased since February 2023.
