Roasted pumpkin Seeds are one of my favourite fall treats and are a fun way to get the kids involved in the kitchen. We started this morning with gutting our pumpkin. Keira wasn’t too thrilled at the idea of getting “yucks” all over herself so this job got relegated to me. She couldn’t wait to …

It’s been awhile since I last did a cloth diaper review. I haven’t been avoiding it per say but I’ve definitely not gone out of my way to pursue any opportunities.
