This Sunday, head on over to Prince’s Island Park for the World Partnership Walk. Opening ceremonies start at 10:15am with the walk starting at 11:15am. The event is always a good time with lots of activities, food and fun!
Every dollar raised supports Aga Khan Foundation Canada’s programs in Africa and Asia and helps in the fight against global poverty.
Q is raising funds once again, so feel free to donate here if you’re so inclined. Hope to see you on Sunday!
Last year, my kids and I attended a Springfree Trampoline event at their store. From jumping on friends’ trampolines, we knew we already loved the Springfree but we discovered something more…tgoma! The first outdoor interactive game system for a trampoline. Guilt-free screen time. Yes, that’s right.
It’s important for me to work with brands that I love so I was thrilled to partner with Springfree as an ambassador. The kids were thrilled when the new trampoline arrived. Luckily they weren’t home for set up so this mamma got the first few jumps!

Thanks to social media, I had seen a glimpse of the offerings from The Street Eatery, and found myself drooling with most of what I saw. I was thrilled when I was invited to check them out for myself.
I went with my favourite little foodie, Q, for dinner on a Friday night. We went early and as the night wore on, the place filled up. The first thing you see on the wall is an amazing mural. The Street Eatery is a creation of three friends who were inspired by their travels and their roots. Their food is inspired by street food from around the world, from places like Korean and India. They opened last year but unfortunately due to a pipe burst earlier this year, they were forced to temporarily close. After the experience we had, we are thrilled that the place is up and running!

After hearing how amazing the Instant Pot was, I had to get one for myself. I have been playing with it for a few weeks and am amazed at how fast things can be made in it.
One thing that I love to make in it is Khichri. Khichri is a dish made with rice and split moong beans and is cooked until almost mushy. It’s a simple dish but one that provides so much comfort. It’s one of the dishes that was introduced early to both kids and they love it. The beans provide a lot of nutrients and protein and makes me feel good about feeding the dish to the kids. It’s finished off with a knob of butter, making it creamy.

It’s no secret that we love our Canadian beef around here. Turns out, I’m not alone. According to a recent survey commissioned by Wendy’s, 92% of Canadian beef eaters think its very important to purchase Canadian beef.

We are ending this giveaway week on a sweet note! If there’s one thing I could not live without, it would have to be chocolate. Seems like chocolate should be involved, since we are celebrating, don’t you think?

One of our go-to places for dinner when we don’t feel like cooking is Edo Japan. It’s guilt-free food that everyone in this house loves. We love getting the Sukiyaki Beef and this mamma is happy that it comes with vegetables.
Right now, Edo has their Noodlefull Bowls which are topped with veggies and chicken or beef. Their signature sauce completes the meal.
