I had seen this idea pinned once, several months ago. I tried to find it again to reference it, but I couldn’t find it. (Have you ever tried to go back and search for a pin you saw but didn’t pin?!! Tricky!) Anyways, I like decorating for birthdays, but always seem to do the same thing – streamers in the same spot, ... Read More »
Every year when the free-movie pass cereals come out, I just have to buy a few boxes – pay for breakfast, get a night out for free! Who can resist? However, this year for some silly reason, the Cheerios I usually like to buy, the Apple Cinnamon and the Honey Nut, have the free Child movie passes while the Chocolate-flavoured ... Read More »
I really, really love English Muffins. So, when I saw this recipe for home made English Muffins this week on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it out! It takes several hours to make, due to the fact that the dough has to rise three times before going into the oven, so a Friday morning at home with just ... Read More »
Every child loves the story of the Very Hungary Caterpillar, by Eric Carle. Or, at least, I did, and all the children I’ve read stories with so far do! I remember doing this craft when I was in Kindergarten – and it’s one that I do with the kids I babysit, too – it’s a great way to combine different ... Read More »
When I was living in England, Crumpets were one of the cheapest and tastiest snacks that I could stock my cupboard with. (Seriously, I could buy a package of 8 for 22p, which is like $0.50Cnd!) I love bread, and I love melted butter, so there was really nothing tastier than a toasted crumpet oozing with melted butter. Except, perhaps, ... Read More »
This recipe was one my mom used to make when we were little. My dad wasn’t able to have chocolate, so we couldn’t often eat something like this. But once a year he went away to a teaching conference, and we were so excited to see him go. Not because we wanted to get rid of him, but it meant ... Read More »
This is a variation on the original Five Minute Fudge. I’ve never actually tried any of the suggested combinations, but I thought in honour of Valentine’s day, I’d give this version a try. Take one can of white or vanilla icing, combine it in a glass bowl with one package of white chocolate chips. Microwave on 70% power for about ... Read More »
Is it strange that I intentionally let the last two bananas in the bunch get over ripe last week, just so that I’d be able to make banana bread, or something else just as tasty? I must admit, though I am often inspired by recipes on Pinterest, if I know what type of food I want to cook or bake ... Read More »
I pinned this recipe last Friday night, and when my husband went out of town for a boys night of Starcraft and Steak on Saturday I decided that Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Pie would be my treat in the evening. I couldn’t actually find Hot Fudge sauce, but the Smuckers Chocolate Fudge sauce seemed to do the trick. ... Read More »
We have been doing cloth diapers for the past 6.5 years, most times having 2 in diapers. Someday, soon, we’ll be done. When we first started, I wanted some sort of reusable wipes to go with the diapers. The easiest, cheapest solution was to make my own. I started with any old recieving blanket (this is a good time to ... Read More »
