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 ...

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 »
As a kid growing up int he 90s, I was fairly limited in the number of shows I could watch. We didn’t have cable, and our parents were pretty strict about what we could and coudn’t watch. But one show that became a part of my childhood was Full House. I used to want to be DJ, with her great hair and cool ... Read More »
With all this cold winter weather, it’s perfect for cozying up on the couch and streaming some great shows. I’ve also taken up a bit of crocheting again, which pairs very well with Netflix and a cup of hot chocolate! I thought I’d share some of our favourites these days, and maybe get some new ideas from you as well! ... Read More »
Traditionally, I abstain from making promises about drastic life changes on the eve of a New Year. I don’t like falling short of goals that I set for myself. I don’t like being disappointed in myself. Because, let’s face it – no matter how good the intentions, adding an extra ‘beneficial’ behaviours to an already busy day spells long-term failure ...

Hello friends, and Happy New Year! Several years ago, before we had children, my husband’s Christmas present to me was a wall of family photos – printed, framed, and arranged. I LOVED it – partly because it contained all of the people we love so dearly, but mostly because we’d been living in the apartment for a year already and ... Read More »
