Make Your Own Beeswax Wraps
Canada is implementing (or trying to implement) a ban on certain ‘single-use plastics’ by 2021; things like straws, plastic plates, cutlery, bags and stir sticks to name a few. It’s not nearly enough to reverse the damage we’ve done to the planet, but it is a move in the right direction and these DIY beeswax […]
DIY Wall Shelf with Hooks
This DIY wall shelf with hooks was made entirely from scrap wood so my only expenditure was for the hooks themselves. You can make your own in less than an hour! How were your Thanksgiving/Black Friday festivities? I hope everyone had a fun family weekend? As a general rule, I prefer to do my Holiday […]

One-Man Ping-Pong

Championship Beer Pong (with or without beer)
We went over to our dear friends’ house the other night and I was (very belatedly) introduced to beer pong. Why have I never played this before? I went to College (and University) and I don’t remember missing any parties when I was there – but the wonder that is beer pong was never introduced […]
