 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…

Tired of your dull old business cards? Ready for a change? Or perhaps your business focus has changed and your old cards just don’t communicate all of your abilities? Luckily Uprinting and thriftymommastips are here to help. I love business cards and stationery.

Making fun hands on experiences out of food preparation helps our children grow interested in what they eat, it also helps to learn about health and…

The Prologue: (This is my first shopportunity. So what is a shopportunity, you ask? Well recently mama signed up with Collective Bias and Social Fabric. I was curious to see what they were all about. Here is my Google plus story about it. My first job was this week, so let me tell you a little bit about that experience. The shopportunities combine a passion for brands, blogging and shopping. And for this one, a little bit of kitchen skill. Once upon a time there was a lady who liked to shop, write and bake.  That’s her – on a good…

Welcome once again to my Thursday feature bloghop. This one is all about Cooking with Kids, or baking with your children, or generally messing around in the kitchen and having fun together making snacks, meals, food, treats, candy, dinner, or whatever great recipe you want. My kids love to cook with me. It’s an easy hands on activity. It’s fun for me too. Together time. In years gone by, we used to have other kids, neighbours, friends, kids I looked after before and after school, come to our house and one thing I noted repeatedly was that they all loved…
