We’re in business! The past two weekends, Mairead has been raking in the cash with her new lemonade shoppe, one quarter at time. It’s been the latest hangout for all the kids on the block. Of course, they have all had to try their hand at customer service. There are some serious business men and women in the making on our street! Our neighbours were generously supportive of Mairead’s new business. Our mail carrier and even two RCMP officers purchased some…..but not…
Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE tea. Hot, cold, 3 days old, I drink a shit ton of tea! Ginger is my all time favorite, earl gray coming in at a close second and various peppermint versions at third place. I even make my own homemade honey and cinnamon tea that I swear cures everything but the plague. However in the summer months, I find I drink a lot less tea and as a result, my overall gut health…
TGIF (tomorrow)! My day was packed with a to-do list as long as my leg (hey now, no short jokes) and it’s almost 10 o’clock and this is the first time I sat down all day. Anyone who says stay-at-home Mom’s do nothing all day can eat it! I have been on the go non-stop. I have been really sporadic with my posts lately, I apologize for that. My laptop is giving me some trouble and Mairead and her friends have been…
Those of you who have been with me here at Three Happy Folk since the beginning might remember the early stages of this project. This blog began over two years ago (a little earlier than I was ready to) to meet a deadline of a contest that I was hoping to enter as a blogging contributor. I laugh at myself now looking back and how little I knew about the time and effort a (good) blog actually requires. Yet I was…
It’s official, Mairead is a big kid! This week we celebrated her graduation from preschool. They had the sweetest little ceremony complete with gowns and caps, then a party with her classmates. I’d be lying if I said that it didn’t tug at the heartstrings a little that these days have some to an end. Now on to big kid school! Crazy. After all the celebrating, I took Mairead to a spray park this afternoon to cool off. Funny story….last…
*This post has been edited from its original version. The company has since changed their name from Flynn & Sage to Conscience Beauty Lab but their beauty products are still the same great quality. I still recommend checking them out 🙂 Hi folks! I’m taking a twist here on the blog this week and sharing something that my new friends at Conscience Beauty Lab have in store. They reached out to people willing to try out some new products and…
I am not looking for any kind of congratulatory ratification here but I have been kicking ass in the clean eating department lately. Part of this is due to the hot weather and me not wanting to stand in front of the stove and also to Aaron being away, therefore, Mairead and I have been surviving on a mostly raw diet. But it has been great; my skin looks healthier, I have so much more energy, and guys, I have…
I’ve created a monster. As soon as my daughter was old enough to eat solid foods she no longer ate her meals. But providing her with 25 small snacks throughout the day she was able to get enough nutrients *rolls eyes*. It almost drove me nuts! Because sitting at the table as a family at meal time is important to me I quickly quit that bad habit and now we fight at the dinner table to “eat your supper, sit…
With the beautiful warm days we have been having here lately we are spending lots and lots of time outdoors. Although the sunshine is welcome, with it came a whole new gang of neighbourhood kids for Mairead to play with. I am very grateful for this as it has lessened the time I have to role-play ninja turtles and her asking to watch tv, but they always want so many snacks! And the looks I get when I suggest a…
It is no secret I love all-natural beauty products and now that the warmer weather is here my skin could use some extra attention. I’m limited to what I can buy in this town when it comes to organics and although I am no stranger to shopping online, I do avoid these items. I like to be able to smell the soaps and lotions and also to read the ingredients label to make sure that they are in fact made…
