I am a relatively new blogger on the scene, so when the chance to attend Blogher in Chicago this July was tossed my way, I pounced on it like a hungry dog. Thinking I was heading …
My kids think I am a goddess. Or stupid and smelly, depending on the day (and the age of the kid). But most of the time, they truly believe that I am beautiful and wonderful. So, today I …
My husband doesn't let me read very often, and for good reason too. I seem to get swept away in a book for hours (or days) regardless of what else is happening around me. But when …
It used to be that when a kid cried, I was their parent of choice. I knew the snacks they would (actually) eat, and the things that calmed them. I was snuggley, and a little …

I made muffins tonight. Not a big deal really, in a normal household. A pretty average activity in fact. But in my house, this was something new. Let me say it again. I. Made. Muffins. TONIGHT. Like in the evening. …
We have 5 ducks, and they take ALOT of work to maintain. They go through water faster than you can imagine. They, like the chickens and rabbits, need to be "put to bed" each evening, …
I have talked before about being able to see a light at the end of the kid tunnel I am currently residing in. It is there, and while it is still only a pinprick of …
I am all over learning more about my food, where it comes from and supporting local! And this weekend you have a chance, via Canadian Beef and the BC Cattlemen's Association to go "Behind the …
