    Winning $10,000 with White Bread – Fun Sushi Recipe -Giveaway

    March 12, 2012 - By 

    I saw this on Pinterest recently and knew it had to be Demspter’s White bread. Don’t get me wrong, we eat a lot of whole wheat and 16 grains and various heavy duty flax breads throughout the week, but there are times when only white bread will do. Like the day after Christmas when turkey is screaming for a bed of lettuce and mayonnaise sandwiched between the white bread. And this….how cute is this? Kid peanut butter and jelly sushi sandwiches. The key here is fresh white bread. Trim the crusts and spread a thin layer of each on top…

    Teethease Necklaces and Teething Jewelry – Interview with the Inventor

    March 9, 2012 - By 

    My daughter Ainsley chewing on her newest tool for Sensory Processing Disorder, the Teethease Necklaces. Sensory Processing and Special Needs We are way too old for teethers in our house. Our youngest child is seven, but when the option to review this fabulous product line called Teethease Necklaces came to my attention, I was thrilled, because I like having options and I adore having BPA and lead-free items. For people who don’t understand, a lot of children with sensory processing disorder, or autism, need oral input. They chew a lot on sleeves, fingers, jewelry, even toys. It is an organizing…

    Cooking With Kids – Linky – Crockpot Love

    March 8, 2012 - By 

    Crockpot meet kids. Kids meet crockpot. Someone asked me this morning what one of my favourite things to cook with kids is – and honestly anything in my crockpot is a favourite. No fuss. No muss. Healthy dinners and so easy to do. I used to look after little people here. Lots of babies and tots and even school age children passed through our house before and after school. For a short time I had a home daycare. So because it was so busy my crockpot was my greatest tool. I could often get even some of the smallest people…

    Jury Duty, the Tori Stafford murder and Trials

    March 6, 2012 - By 

    The last time I set foot in a courthouse it was for Happy Court. The term we use to describe the day when you finalize your child’s adoption. Yesterday, inside the same London courthouse the mood was as far removed as possible as the murder trial of Michael Rafferty began. Today I am just happy to be here, working at home. Yesterday my number was up. Well, almost. On the first day of the Rafferty murder trial in London, when our local courthouse turned into a very busy hub of activity and media from all over Ontario descended into the centre…

    Cooking With Kids Linky – What’s On This Week?

    March 1, 2012 - By 

     Well beautiful people it is Thursday and you know that means I am cooking with my kids in the kitchen. So what is on the agenda this week? Lemon Meringue Pie. That’s right, eldest daughter and I had a great time baking a pie. We started with a pie shell (store bought and then Shiriff Lemon Pie mix) and then we made one of my favourite desserts of all time. My dolly loves lemon meringue pie as much as I do and frankly she had a sick day – you know one of those sick days that starts coughing hacking and feverish and then…
