My husband doesn’t let me read very often, and for good reason too. I seem to get swept away in a book for hours (or days) regardless of what else is happening around me. But when a book does cross […]
It used to be that when a kid cried, I was their parent of choice. I knew the snacks they would (actually) eat, and the things that calmed them. I was snuggley, and a little …
It IS ugly, but it's oh so good. Easy Beef Stroganoff is one of our go-to dinner in a pan options. It is a comfort food, hearty and filling. And ugly. Gooey, and smooshy and a …
This may come as a surprise, but I get really nervous about things. I get all butterfly-ey and nauseous. My hands sweat and I get a little twitchy. Just like the rest of the world. I may …
I am all for “shopping locally” but didn’t really get the concept of that until a recent experience with Canada Beef. I was given the opportunity to tour a meat processing plant in Chilliwack, BC …

I have talked before about being able to see a light at the end of the kid tunnel I am currently residing in. It is there, and while it is still only a pinprick of …
I am all over learning more about my food, where it comes from and supporting local! And this weekend you have a chance, via Canadian Beef and the BC Cattlemen's Association to go "Behind the …
We are fixers, the hubby and I. If something is broken, we fix it. Quickly. If the stove is broken, we fix it or replace it. If our life is broken, anywhere, we do the same. But sometimes things …
