I can’t say that I’ve ever had this problem before, but H-man’s birthday cake was so big that it’s taken us a week to demolish 3/4 of it – and by this point, it’s not as moist and delicious as it once was. The pirate ship design of the cake called for two 8 1/2 x 11 sheet cakes, so even ... Read More »
I’ve always been a fan of British tv programming. Perhaps I should say that I’ve always been a fan of all things Britain. I love British literature (serious and Chick Lit), I love the landscape, I love the history and the buildings – the history in the buildings. I love the way that British people speak. tangent: when I was studying in England, ... Read More »
I admit it: I LOVE McD’s. Those shoestring fries. The McDouble with McChicken Sauce. *drool* We don’t go there often – we don’t go anywhere often…. but sometimes, you just need to take a break from life. That’s why I’m excited to share some big news: I know what I’m ordering next time! McDonald’s Canada Introduces the Next Legend The Big ... Read More »
Once upon a time, games weren’t packaged in boxes and sold on the shelves at the local department store. They didn’t take up 30 square feet of closet space, and most could be played with either a deck of cards or a pencil and pad of paper! While I was growing up, one of our family favourites, especially on chilly ... Read More »
I feel as though the last few winters have kinda dragged on forever. I love winter, but come February I’m pining for the crocuses and daffodils. I can’t wait to smell the ground thawing and the trees coming back to life. My eyes are practically hallucinating for want of seeing my forsythia & lilac bushes bloom! Last year, our Little Lady ...

It’s a really easy to use app that helps you capture precious memories of your kids expressing themselves and then edits it all into one awesome video at the touch of a button! Anyhow. The OneDay app, which was originally launched for iOS systesm (iPhones ... Read More »
Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and I’ve been trying to figure out what I should make for dinner & dessert – now that we’ve got two kids and less money, we’ll probably be staying at home for dinner. I admit – this is one of those Pinterest projects that I saw when I first got onto Pinterest and thought, “Wow! That ... Read More »
This past summer, we had the chance to take a Honda Pilot on vacation to a cottage in Michigan. It’s (almost) always exciting to try out a new vehicle, but the Pilot was an particularly exciting vehicle for us. We’re not so much the folks that only take the ‘bare essentials’ with us when heading out on vacation, so that always ... Read More »
I’m going to admit something: I didn’t take Prenatal Vitamins when I was pregnant with either child. It had nothing to do with the fact that I was against them in any fashion, or that I thought that I was too good for them. I’d like to say that I was eating SO healthy that I was already getting the proper ... Read More »
My kids love hot chocolate. Like, a LOT. It probably has something to do with the fact that we have 2 things in the house that they get in their cups: 1) Water 2) Milk. Juice is for Grandma’s house or picnics. Pop (soda) is…pretty much only present once a year at the extended family Christmas celebration. So when I tell ... Read More »
