When did parenting get so hard? Actually, when hasn’t it been hard? I’m in a household with two “tweenagers” (9 and 11) and each phase of their lives has presented different challenges – from learning to walk, to potty training to letting them assert some independence. But these tween years – all of their struggles […]

We have had the most AMAZING summer! Hubby was able to take two weeks off and we rented a gorgeous cottage on Lake Huron – as in right on the water. We shared the cottage with our favourite travelling companions and dearest friends and enjoyed sun, sand, surf (some rain) and savoury meals prepared by […]

Looking for some captivating summer reads? I haven’t covered any books on the blog in ages, but it’s not for lack of reading them. I spent most of 2016 devouring the Outlander series (8 books with about 1,700 pages per book) – and let me tell you it was totally worth it. Not everyone is […]

It’s done! It’s done, it’s done, it’s done! (sung in a ‘happy dance’ sort of voice). My favourite room in the house is ready – and not only am I going to show it off, but I’m going to go outside and enjoy it once I’m done showing it off. I’m sorry, I’m too excited […]

Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to their computer background. Some people like it when they have beautiful landscapes to look at, others enjoy a basic single colour wallpaper. Personally, I enjoy my wallpaper to have a bit of character and link-in with the season we’re in. By now, everywhere that is going to […]
