Well look at that! December came with out any warning what so ever...it just creeped up on me and I am not really ready for it.I have been so busy at school with activities there, that I haven't had time to do any at home. I have decorated 3 trees at school.I made it through the Christmas Bazaar at school.I have taken down a Christmas tree at school.I am in the process of preparing for the

My good friend Jennifer is a fabulous bow designer...now I am not only saying this because she is my friend (although we never met in real life), I am saying this as someone who has seen her fabulous bows up close!Not only does she hand sew all her bows but she can make them to match just about any thing in your child's closet! She does a fabulous job matching Gymboree lines. She carries

Never thought I would say this but, I am going on a Turkey Run tonight with a group of friends.Now those of you that know me...you may be asking yourselves "why the heck are you running?" Or "why are you chasing turkeys?"Truth be told I am doing neither. LOL It's just that turkeys are just so darn expensive here in Canada. I swear the raise the price because the holidays are coming.

Well another week has gone by , with hardly any time for me to post.I finished up an order for 4 dresses this week and was kept busy at school.Yesterday we celebrated the 1st birthday of my little niece...a little early, as her birthday isn't until Friday but my gosh, she is such a sweet baby!!Oh boy, cake time! My favorite time!! ;)As you can see in the pictures, somebody isn't a cake fan.Out of

Today we had to say good-bye to our silly puppy...ok she wasn't exactly a puppy any more but that's what we called her.Ginger had epilepsy and early this morning, she had a really bad attack that we just couldn't get her out of.She was a good dog, the best dog, and a beloved family friend. Sure she used to like to steal our socks and rip them to shreds, but the dryer was just going to loose them

Ack, where did last week go? I was so busy, I must have missed it passing by.Let me start off by saying, I got some awesome news earlier this week!! A few weeks ago I sent in an official request for some time off at the start of the next school year. It will be my in laws 50th wedding anniversary and to celebrate, we are going to Paris and Bordeaux with them! So I have been patiently waiting to

I love Sunday morning breakfast! At our house it's usually a big breakfast and it usually goes just as fast as I can make it.We recently picked up a waffle maker and I have been whipping up batches of tasty Belgian waffles, so the kids can have them during the week. We freeze them and then they just pop them in the toaster.Last night I made a batch of waffle mix, some super yummy strawberry sauce

As I mentioned, Halloween is my favorite holiday.We finally had some dry weather today, so the little miss and I put the decorations up this afternoon! This of course was after we went back to the Halloween store and bought some more blood...You can never have enough blood!Wish I could say the weeds are there as part of the decor, but truth be told, I hate to weed the floor beds.Here are a few

Ick, it's another cold, dreary, rainy day here.What happened to all the warm colors of fall? They all seem to be masked behind a shade of grey.Even this little guy I spotted in the tree, doesn't seem to be as busy collecting nuts and such for the winter.It really just seems like the type of weather to hibernate to....You know, just cuddle up under a warm blanket and sit by a roaring fire to keep

Today we are celebrating the Canadian Thanksgiving...we celebrate the American one as well, seeing as we are originally from the United States, but there is just something about the smell of turkey in the house that says, "Yes, fall is here". I know fall has been here for a while now but for me cooking turkey just confirms it.I am also made my very FAVORITE dessert, for after the meal, which by

Do you ever feel like your life is just a bunch of clutter? Lately I have been feeling like I am being buried alive by stuff...bunches and bunches of stuff!Now I don't mean it in a Hoarders kind of way, but some how stuff has just accumulated. My brain is filled with, what could best be described as, a tangled yarn ball of stuff that has to be done. Stuff that I want to do, stuff that I need to

Ok I admit it, I am a Gleek!If you don't know what Glee is, I would say the best way to describe the show is, it's a musical-comedy-drama. The show follows the students of a show choir of a fictional Ohio high school as they try to make it to the National level of competition.I love the variety of music they sing. From Broadway songs, to 80's music, to today's hits...Glee covers them all.I am so

Yesterday my little miss participated in a mini-soccer tournament, between 2 of the school in our school board.They had mixed the two schools together to make 8 teams--4 boys teams and 4 girls teams. The teams each played 3 mini-games...boys against the boys, girls against the girls.It was a fun way for the kids to make new friends, work on sportsmanship, and rally together as a team.That's my

Nothing makes me happy like the taste of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.I mean seriously...the smell, the texture, and of course the taste, brings me back to being a kid.Yesterday I was home alone (the kids were at school) and I decided to whip a batch of cookies up. So I threw together some butter, sugar, eggs, flour and who could for get the little chocolate morsels........which gave me

This Labor Day weekend we went to Quebec City and stayed in the heart of Vieux-Québec. We went with my husband's family to celebrate my mother in laws 70th birthday.The first night there we were lucky enough to see an amazing performance by Shawn Barker as Johnny Cash The Man In Black. Now mind you I am not a Johnny Cash fan, but I have to admit I was clapping my hands and stomping to the beat...

Jeremy is our daredevil kid. He keeps us on our toes, pretty much 24/7.If he isn't BMXing, he is sleeping.He asked me this summer if I could take pictures of him at the skate park doing his thing. These last couple of pictures were taken on a BMX trail in the woods.

Wow! It seems like just yesterday I was counting down the days until summer vacation. Now here we are in September and the first few days of school are under our belt...where did the time go?Here are a few of my favorite pictures from this summer at the campground with my little miss Sarah. As you will see, we had a pool theme going on, thanks to the fabulously warm sunny summer that we had.

Let's talk about dishonesty for a minute. I think there should be an easy way to pick out the honest people, from the dishonest people. You know something that really makes them stand out in a crowd.

Wow! I can't believe it's June all ready! The school year is coming to an end soon and that means the camping season will begin!We spend most of our summer at the campground. We play games, talk, relax, read, swim, and my favorite part is the kids get to be kids! There are no video games, no computers (well ok, I do bring my laptop), but the kids are so busy playing and having fun, that they

Nothing makes you more warm and cozy on a cold fall afternoon then a yummy bowl of apple crisp.Add a little vanilla ice cream and you are so good to go!Unfortunately, I can not have a bite of this tasty treat until after dinner. I made this for our dessert tonight and I am so looking forward to digging in!

Let me start off by saying this was the worst Halloween ever because the weather was just terrible!It started off good...We spent the afternoon carving out our jack-o-lantern. I cut the top off the pumpkin and let Sarah dig out the pumpkin guts, as we like to call it. Then when she was done, I went to work and carved out Frankie. Then as it started getting dark out, we got ready for the big night
