I’ve been wracking my brains out, thinking about something for Valentine’s Day. The first thing that comes to mind is cookies, those sugar coated (sometimes with added food colorings) heart shaped cookies, but I don’t really do that. Well, maybe for my kids’ class sometimes, and even then I do my best to not use […]
I’ve never been a fan of game days. I mean those days when a tournament starts or even the Olympics. Don’t get me wrong, I like sports. I used to play Tennis, watch Basketball and even F1 races. But I just don’t find it too interesting any more. I guess people mostly get excited about […]
It’s another cold, white day here in Halifax. Gosh I miss the sun! Just imagining myself lying on a nice warm sandy beach makes my heart warm. Yeah, snow is beautiful I’ll give you that, but time after time after time, it gets kind of boring and annoying. All the layers, the places you can’t […]

My kids can eat breaded chicken and chicken nuggets or fingers on any given day, all day, everyday. But me? After 2 weekends in a row I kind of get tired of frying chicken. Not that I don’t like it, because I do, but sometimes it just seems too boring. Same flavor, same texture, same […]
It’s summer, and living in a house made of wood with no A/C can sometimes be hot, very hot. So other than turning the fans on and opening the windows I’m always up for something cold to munch on. This time I decided to surprise the kids and make them a “Surprise Popsicle”; why […]
