When I was growing up, dessert was not an altogether common affair at our dinner table. When we did have dessert, chances were that it was cantaloupe, yogurt with fruit sauce, or fruit salad. However. However. Now and again, my mom would make an amazing and decadent hot dessert – a pudding cake. If you’ve never had a pudding cake before, let ... Read More »
I made these meatballs this weekend for a babyshower. Come to think of it, it probably wasn’t the best option to make, since the new mother as well as the host of the shower don’t eat pork and, well, these are pork meatballs, but that just meant there were more for the rest of us. There’s going to be a theme ... Read More »

So, as I’ve been pinning away this week, I’ve been on the look out for toilet paper roll Christmas crafts, since that stash has gotten to be fairly large. There are So. Many. Ideas! I thought I’d collect them all ... Read More »
MR – Last year on Pinterest, I saw all kids of clear ornament ideas. I didn’t have any at the time, but I made it a point during boxing day sales to buy some of those clear Christmas balls at 75% off, costing me next-to-nothing. I only got the clear plastic ones (not the glass) because I have four young ... Read More »

And since I tend to like the more simple, silhouette-style nativities, I was able to search out those simpler crafts. I find that some of the store-bought ones are ... Read More »
Ok. So this DIY serving tray from candy was one of those things that I saw on Pinterest and thought, “No way. There’s either a trick to it, or it’s a Pinterest Old Wives Tale. It can’t be that easy!” Well, guess what? It totally is. I started out with instructions from this blog over here, and then headed out ... Read More »
MR – I learned how to crochet when I was young, and did a fair bit in university. Even after we were first married, I did a bit, but as the kids came, I did less and less. That didn’t stop me from pinning all these cute projects, like some cute crochet Mary Jane slippers. So last week I ... Read More »
While our friends south of the border are preparing for Turkey Overload, we up here in Canada have been finished with Thanksgiving for over a month now.
