Although it’s not really to my taste, my kitchen is still my favorite room in the house. I spend the majority of my time at home in my kitchen whether it be cooking, baking, crafting, designing, blogging…it’s the first place anyone comes looking for me. So because a complete overhaul of a kitchen isn’t in the budget this Christmas, jazzing up a little corner of it is. At first glance there appears to be a lot of counter space yet…
I looove me some earl grey tea! And if there is a London fog on the menu I’m trying it. So far, the best London fog I have had is from a great little café in Sherwood Park called Café Haven. A friend introduced me to the London fog there and I can’t stop raving about it. We attempted to replicate it at home and although it was delicious, it wasn’t as good theirs. So when someone suggested trying an…
Last night was my daughter’s first preschool Christmas concert. It was without a doubt the most adorable thing I have ever witnessed in my life. Before we left she was so excited! She asked me for days if she could get ready and wear her new dress and “high” heels. When the time came she was bouncing with excitement (the hot chocolate and gingerbread cookie beforehand might also have had something to do with that). The concert itself….hectic, frenzied and…
If you’re looking for a recipe to impress then you’ve found it! I have made this mouth-watering treat several times and for several people and everyone comes back for a seconds! Even the neighbours are talking about it. I made a batch for my family today as an attempt to get my daughter busy in the kitchen but she ditched me for an episode of Curious George and some snuggles with Daddy. I can’t say I blame her. But when…
I know we just went over this in the post all about giving at Christmas last week, but it really is so important to me to help others. I often don’t like to watch the evening news, it makes me anxious and all I can think while trying to fall asleep is how the world is going to shit. But tonight I caught a few minutes of tonight’s broadcast where they showed food banks in Alberta stocking up and stated…
I have always thought of myself as someone who is very punctual in most things that I do but when it comes to gift giving, that couldn’t be further from the truth! My father’s birthday was in September and I am still putting together his gift! In my defense though I ordered a piece for it online and it was on backorder for three weeks. Regardless, I think it will be well worth the wait. For my entire life (actually…
Okay now what? October was spent planning for Thanksgiving and Halloween and although I could stand to look at Christmas decorations three months out of the year, I do like to think I have some sense of self control; I can’t very well put the tree up just yet. But because I live on the other side of the country from most of my family I am left mailing gifts each year which means I need to get a head…
Happy Halloween everyone! I know it’s been a crazy long time since I’ve shown my face around these parts but I needed to take a step back and readjust some things, but I am back and ready to roll! And just in time for some Halloween fun! My little “Princess Anna” and big skeleton just left for trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and I am left here to hand out candy, which is fine by me! **nibble nibble** I have always…
