I am about 12 hours into a 3 day ‘family free’ weekend! Due to a family situation on my hubby’s side, he took our 4 kids back to Timmins for the whole weekend. I am pet sitting (yahoo!) and relaxing. I’m also getting caught up on projects, filling Etsy orders, writing down ideas that are allowed to surface thanks to… Read more →
I just love synchronicities! I recently stumbled upon my neighbor’s zucchini patch while exploring my yard. He is a wonderful old man who we chat with regularly now and he has a patch of plump, prickly green zucchinis. He has since been bringing them over by the bagful for us to enjoy. My Year and a Yay! studies has me… Read more →
Oops! I missed my post for Day 5 so I’m putting it together with Day 6. We are still doing really well. My hubby is down 6 lbs! My weight is about the same-joys of being 5 3″ is that my weight doesn’t fluctuate that much unless I do something drastic. We’re not doing this for weight loss though, we’re… Read more →
It’s Day 4. I’m definitely having leg cramps from the caffeine withdrawal and I broke down last nite before bed and took some Tylenol. I was having a hard time getting comfortable and didn’t see the point in suffering. I woke up still achy but thanks to the forum I know that I’m not the only one experiencing this symptom….

It’s Day 3. My husband went back to work today so eating wasn’t quite as exciting. I really enjoyed being in the kitchen with him over the weekend prepping our meals. When I’m home alone with the kids during the day I am so busy with them I tend to forget to eat until supper. I did manage to eat… Read more →
It’s Day 2. No coffee today. Grrr! While my coffee should’ve been brewing I was cutting up exotic fruit for our morning smoothie. I am positive that this one is Dragonfruit. Very cool looking! This is the Dragonfruit inside. It was almost like a pudding texture and tasted appley/coconuty. This one is Passionfruit. It was all seeds basically. I liked… Read more →
So, I’m attempting a Spring Cleanse. For 10 days. With my husband. Good Goddess, what was I thinking? We’re hoping to follow the guidelines as close as possible, but realistically we are using this week as an opportunity to re-introduce breakfast and lunch as an actual daily routine (we both rarely have much past our coffee) and as a way… Read more →
With Earth Day coming up soon and our new house not having Recycle bins, we trotted off to Home Depot today to pick up a few blue bins. I want a Composter also, but they were $63 at Home Depot and the City sells them for $30, so, guess where I’m headed tomorrow… While at Home Depot I couldn’t resist… Read more →
I really love to eat. I love to cook, entertain, eat, nurture, feed the belly and create in the kitchen!! Did I mention how much I love to eat? It all began in the 60′s when my stay at home Mom would let me help cook dinner before I was even tall enough to see over the counter. I… Read more →
Every year at this time I get seduced by pumpkin. It’s everywhere and I love it! This recipe was featured in my current issue of Country Living and I knew I had to try it. It was a breeze to make and it was so good! I cheated and used my Kitchenaid mixer to ensure maximum creaminess and I used… Read more →
