It should come as no surprise to you, our loyal readers, that my sister & I are not Martha Stewart clones. We’re not Stepford Wives. We’re not even *gasp* Rachael Ray! After all, we make no bones about this information: We make some pretty awesome and tasty stuff from inspiration that we pull from Pinterest Pins, but sometimes (more often ... Read More »
The first apartment that we lived in had mice. We took out the garbage on a regular basis, we kept the green bin clean, we cleaned the stove top daily, we washed the dishes every night, we kept food in airtight containers, but still, the mice came. I chalk it up mostly to the fact that the house was incredibly ... Read More »
Last year, I dipped ripple chips in chocolate and sprinkled delicious things on them. That was tasty, but kinda time consuming, dipping each chip individually – with two littles running around, who has time for that kind of nonsense? I wanted to try something a little easier this year – but still combining the chocolate & the chips, because chocolate ... Read More »

If you’ve ever watched The West Wing, you probably noticed that POTUS, Jed Bartlett, puts his coat on in a really strange manner. One second, it’s in front of him, the next second, it’s whipped over his head and the he’s wearing it. Last week, my daughter walked into the livingroom with her coat on. “Me DO IT!” she yelled. ...

I’ve always been obsessed with Christmas Music. Before the days of MP3s or even CDs, I’d haul our cassette tape player into my room at night and fall asleep to the sounds of Christmas with the Canadian Brass (and wake up with the whirrrrrring CLUNK as the tape ran out). When I bought my own CD player, one of my favourite albums ... Read More »
Sunday evenings at 6pm in our house growing up meant the only meal of the week that we’d eat in front of the TV – all thanks to The Wonderful World of Disney. Bedknobs & Broomsticks, The Parent Trap, and Davy Crockett were all great, but our favourites were always episodes / movies when Mickey & the ‘gang’ would show up. ... Read More »
For as long as I can remember, the first weekend in December has been the time that our family puts up the Christmas tree. It could be because of the Sinterklaas traditions that we had, or it just could be that that’s when the Christmas Trees arrived in town and my parents were firm believers in getting fresh trees. Whatever ... Read More »
If you follow us on Facebook (and if you don’t, DO IT NOW!!), you probably saw (and maybe even took part in) the discussion about my freakishly small entryway at our front door. The hats and the mittens and the scarves were driving me NUTS, so I reached out for help. I was encouraged by many of you who store ... Read More »
I’m going to just come right out and say that I was an amazing babysitter. I’m not just saying that – I really was genuinely awesome. Families fought over me for New Years. They paid me to come to weddings & sit in hotel rooms to watch TV & monitor the napping baby. They bestowed upon me one of their ... Read More »
