All the Experiences

I often get so wrapped up in the gift-giving traditions of Christmas that I sometimes overlook the value of experiences during this time of year. Gift-giving is my love language; there’s nothing quite like the joy I feel when I see someone’s face light up at the sight of a…

Hockey Fam

I was initially hesitant about keeping our hockey season tickets with two young kids, but I’m so glad we decided to go for it. While I’m not entirely sure the boys fully grasp the ins and outs of the hockey game, they absolutely love the experience. Sharing a row with…
