It’s been kind of a chilly and wet March break this year – much more pleasant than the very cold & snowy March break the last two years, but still, a little harder to find things to do. The weather this morning was looking up – 8 degrees and sunny – and then, just after lunch, the dark clouds rolled ... Read More »
As you know, in December I started my new job as custodian of our church, which means that I spend about 15 hours a week vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, disinfecting, and scrubbing toilets. I am, therefore, no stranger to rolling up my sleeves and getting dirty. However, while I don’t scrubbing the floors and cleaning the kitchens, tackling the bathroom has ... Read More »
Hey friends! Happy March Break! If you log in to Facebook today, your news feed might just look a little like mine – everyone else seems to be arriving in sunny Florida for a week of warmth & relaxation. I admit, I’m a wee bit jealous of them, but it’s not a trip that we can make this year. Maybe ... Read More »
Tomorrow is the last day of school before March Break. How did that happen already?! I’ll be honest: I meant to have this post up an entire week ago….but then we got that wonderful snow storm, and then the weather magically turned to spring, and, well, we’ve pretty much been enjoying as much of the Great Outdoors as we can ...

I confess: I’m a bookworm. I have no clue how old I was when I started to read, but I do know that I read a lot in Grade 1. We had a reading journal in which we (or our parents?) had to record the titles of books that we read and our teacher awarded us with mini pocket books as ... Read More »
It’s World Book Day today and as I was thinking about what I should write about, I realized that a post on my book club – the Best Book Club in the World – is long over due. Six years ago I sat in the lunch room with three of my co-workers commiserating about our respective book clubs. We ... Read More »
There’s no denying it – butcher block counters make a kitchen look rich and warm. They were one of the reasons why we fell in love with the first house that we bought – I mean, what a charming kitchen, am I right? However, we soon learned that butcher block counter tops require quite a bit of love and attention ... Read More »
It’s birthday party time again! I can’t believe we have a five year old in the house already… Where does the time go? Anyhow, the theme for this year’s birthday party has been set for a full year, ever since Target cleared out their dinosaur birthday party accessories. We had the plates, the table cloth, the banner, and the ‘goody bag’ ... Read More »
It’s that magical time of year again – the sun is getting warmer, the days are getting longer AND brighter, and the promise of hot summer days is hovering on the not-quite-as-bracing winds. But the REAL spring magic is this: Disney on Ice is making its way back to Hamilton from March 17-20 at the FirstOntario Centre! Last year was ... Read More »
Hi friends! About a month ago, I started hearing ads on the radio and seeing posts on Twitter about this new ‘game changing’ inkjet printer for homes. It’s been a while – 10 years, maybe?? – since I’ve heard ad spots for a printer, so I looked it up. The Epson EcoTank is an inkjet printer that has ink wells ... Read More »
