Welcome to Moore Than Enough – a blog about my family as we attempt to embrace simplicity in the face of general insanity. The current count in our household is four kids under the age of nine, three dogs (one of whom is an ill-mannered Saint Bernard) and a few cats thrown into the mix. You might say we put the crazy in the crazy train. In our efforts to keep things simple we’ve downsized and relocated from a sprawling city to a small town in Ontario, Canada – and we’re loving life even more for it. Drop by for easy household advice on keeping things simple, and stick around for the laughs when things don’t work out the way they’re planned. No matter what, we have Moore Than Enough.
