If you know me at all then you know that I love the sun. I hate the winter weather and I love sun. I am only happy when it is sunny out and I love to travel. So what’s that got to do with skin cream and eye cream? A lot actually. I have freckles and the sun takes a toll on my skin. Recently we were away on a cruise over New Year’s Eve and we might have enjoyed the sun – a lot. It was 28 in Grand Cayman and frankly that’s my kind of town. That’s my…
Maple Leaf Monster Jam is my youngest daughter’s favourite annual family show. Why? Because Maple Leaf Monster Jam arrives every year around March, the time of her birthday. Every year she goes with her father and sometimes the rest of us too, and we enjoy the show together. But in years gone by, several special years in a row, it was just Ainsley and Dad. A Special London Event So it’s kind of a dad and daughter date. That makes her happy and it’s kind of memorable for both of them. Together, they revel in the crazy antics of Maple…

Valentine’s Day marks one year in our new house! That means we will all be celebrating a special anniversary and Valentine’s Day bundled up in one holiday. Plus this year Family Day weekend makes Valentine’s Day an extra long weekend. I can hardly wait! Do you have big plans for Valentine’s Day? We will likely celebrate a couple of times. I hope to be able to slip out for a date night with my husband. It is a rare evening when the stars align and we get a night out together. In fact we usually find that’s why we travel.…
My husband is a handy guy. Thank goodness for that. He paints and builds and fixes. That saves a lot of money over time. Sadly we don’t always have the time for him to do the big picture projects, or even the emergency plumbing kinds of things, but he is the go to guy for helping. He lends himself to friends and family for wallpaper and painting and general fixit carpentry kinds of things. He is also very good at painting. He has a really old painting and wallpapering tray and kit and it sits in our garage waiting for someone…
My kids are 10 and 13 now and they are all about the music and the computers and gadgets too of course. My youngest loves listening to her Ipod Nano and she also has a pretty busy social calendar which means a lot of car time. In my mini van I have a TV but I don’t always want my kids watching TV on the road so I love to have music handy and books too. My husband has no entertainment system in his car and he often pops in a family friendly CD for road trips and even for…

This remarkable basket full of Promise Gluten Free foods arrived here this past week. It was stuffed with Promise Gluten Free breads, of which there are numerous varieties, buns, and baked treats. The Lemon Muffins and the Double Chocolate Muffins caught my eye. Sadly they also didn’t escape the kid’s eyes. But luckily they shared. Or I might have been extremely perturbed because the muffins are the best gluten free baked goods I have ever had. What do I know about gluten free? Am I gluten free? Not right now. But in my twenties I was gluten free for a…
