ZEN THE PAST IS OVER. THE FUTURE MAY NEVER BE. THE PRESENT IS ALL THAT EXITS. LIVE EACH MOMENT TO THE FULLEST. The Buddha Board is based on this Zen philosophy. To let go of the past, live in the moment and not worry about what may or may not come. Using the soothing aspects of water, you simply stroke the bamboo brush over the surface and watch as the image grows darker and then slowly fades away. Only the present exists. I found the Buddha Board to be both relaxing and … [Read more...]

Decorating Dilema’s

I'm the worst at decorating, I see things on tv or in magazines and I love it, but when it comes to my own house I have no idea what goes with what, or even what I want. I know what I like and don't like ( I think..) but I just can't seem to put it all together! When we finally finished renovated the basement at the beginning of the year we designated an area for the kids play space. We haven't done much with it since because what we really need is the Hubster to build us shelves and … [Read more...]

Big Brother has a healthy addiction to the Backyardigans, that annoying cheerful theme song can be heard around the house on any given day.

How the two go together, don't ask me, I didn't even see it. On the weekend of Little Buddy's birthday party my parents spent the night at our house and for dessert we … [Read more...]

Partnering up with Ethel Gloves couldn't have come at a better time. My old gloves for the garden had large holes and had seen way better days. I not only wanted a new pair, but needed something new that could protect my hands and look a whole lot better. Ethel Gloves can be defined in 3 words: Fashion, Function & Protection. FASHION: These are not your husband's workgloves. These are made for women! They come in an array of stylish colours and designs that make it hard to choose … [Read more...]
Tasty Tuesday- Party Fare

Birthday Season is over and done with, but I wanted to share with you a couple of little nibbles and drinks we used to make the celebrations more FuN! Rainbow Ice I made rainbow ice cubes for the Big Boy's party to tie in with the Rainbow Cake . Choose a few flavours of Kool aid and prepare each according to directions on package. I only used half of the sugar suggested though, figuring the drinks would have enough sugar in them to compensate. Freeze in ice cube trays. I saved … [Read more...]
