Good Monday morning! I hope that your day started off better than mine – it was just ‘one of those mornings’ with 4 meltdowns split between 2 kids – we did manage to make record time to school, though, in spite of the fact that 2 of the melt downs occurred on the way to school. Things have since calmed ... Read More »
While I’ve taken about a month break from POSTING my meal plans, I actually have continued to plan on a weekly basis. So, although this isn’t actually ‘week 3’ of my meal planning, for the sake of continuity with this series, I’m just going to go ahead and call this Week 3. Have you ever had Boerenkool before?

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article from IKEA, but we LOVE the content. As I watched the video below with the little guy lecturing me on how to behave in the kitchen with my children, I realized he was right. I need to chill out a little.

When I thought about it, I realized that ... Read More »
With week 1 of meal planning finished, I have to say that it made a huge difference in my life. I took things out of the freezer the night before, I prepped ingredients in the morning, and finished up supper in the afternoon. There was no stress about what to make, no extra trips to the grocery store. I think ... Read More »
I know, I know – Christmas already?! Two things: 1) this dessert has been sitting in my Drafts folder since last January and I want to make sure that I don’t forget about this season! and 2) Christmas isn’t as far away as you might think! As with many of my favourite recipes that I post here, this Christmas dessert recipe ... Read More »
I have a really hard time fitting everything into a day. There are so many things that I want to do, so many things that I need to do. There are the regular immediate household needs, like loading and unloading the dishwashers, clearing off the counter tops, tossing a load of laundry into the washer or dryer, and sweeping the crumbs ...

Every time I’ve been at my mom’s house for the past 4 years and I’ve exhibited signs of cold or flu (or anything else, for that matter), she has pushed Oil of Oregano on me. I tried it once. It smelled awful. I misunderstood her directions and put it on my tongue, not under my tongue, and I tasted it for ... Read More »
