Game night fun just went to a whole new level with Hasbro's hilarious game Pie Face! Have you seen this one yet? The kids and I had already seen some videos of others playing the game so when I pulled out Pie Face for a little week night fun the boys got really excited! We couldn't wait to break out the whipped cream and get started! The game is both simple to set up and to play, but it's super fun for all ages! Who doesn't love watching someone get a pie in the face right? It's also … [Read more...]

I grew up with the Sesame Street crew, Elmo hadn't moved into the neighbourhood yet (yes, I'm that old), but I have the fondest memories of Cookie Monster, Bert, Ernie and Big Bird and longed to sit on that famous stoop. I got my chance too! I couldn't keep my love for Sesame Street all to myself, so when the boys were young we took a road trip to visit all of the characters including the big red guy himself, Elmo! We had so much fun playing all day with Elmo that we've made many visits … [Read more...]

Last week I introduced you to the newest member of our family, a 5 month old Australian Shepherd boy! Oakley came into our lives quite suddenly, I chatted with the owner after the kids had gone to bed one friday night and by 9am the next morning we were cuddling the the little ball of fluff. Needless to say, we were slightly unprepared! No worries though, PetSmart has everything a pup could need and more and with Halloween right around the corner, we weren't about to let him miss out … [Read more...]

The global movement towards getting back to basics and eating locally and in season has made the time-honoured ritual of canning and preserving a treasured craft that is once again having its moment. Buying or even growing fresh fruits and vegetables in season yields the rewards long after if they are properly treated and lovingly prepared. Whether it is a few jars of jam or a family-sized batch of tomato sauce, no one can dispute the satisfaction and heightened enjoyment of … [Read more...]
Puppy Love

I've never believed in love at first sight. I guess I still don't, not with humans anyway, but I've definitely been struck with the love bug twice in my life with pets. After losing our chocolate lab last fall, I've been feeling a little bit lost. Yes, it's nice not to have the hair in the house, and it sure is easier to go on a holiday but there was also no one to go for a walk with in the middle of the day, or a warm furry friend to snuggle with on the floor and no one threw me a coming home … [Read more...]
