Sometimes…ok…at least weekly, all you need is a lazy day. I don’t even know what it is with this week, but to me it feels like it has just been dragging on and on and on. Monday felt like Tuesday, Tuesday like Thursday, and Wednesday, well, I woke up thinking it should be Saturday. By…
Life
Crafty afternoon
When I went out to do my butter run today I was pleasantly surprised to find a whole stack of craft supplies for $1.00 each. For anyone else in Canada this was at the Loblaws Supercenter. Googlie eyes, pipe-cleaners, pom-poms, popsicle sticks, a wooden dinosaur and dog cut-out, feathers, etc. It was a gold mine…
Butter!
Strange title, I know, but I’m that excited right now. You see, butter’s on sale for $3/lb and my fridge is on it’s last pound from the last sale, so not only is it on sale, but I timed my supply between sales perfectly. Sometimes it’s the little things you know. This house is also…
Ugh.
I have been just so, so sick this week. I came down with something Friday night, and it’s just gotten worse, so nothing’s been updated. (sorry) I do have a couple waiting in the wings though, and I’ll get them up as soon as I can say supercalafragalisticexpialadoshus without starting a coughing fit. I’m hoping…
The Oreo Story
First of all, I suck, because I don’t update this. And that’s a horrible thing, because I have a terrible memory, so besides not keeping a record of my favorite recipes, I’m also losing that record of all the mundane things that go on in our house. Not today though, because last night something so…
mmmm
So, pregnancy is apparently making me not update this very often. Truth be told, I don’t think it’s the pregnancy, I think it’s the impending Christmas. You see, I’m hosting Christmas dinner, and I thought this was fantastic, until it started getting close. And I remembered that I had a 17 month old. And then I got…
Quick update
God I’ve been tired. So, so, so, so, so, so tired. Sorry. I’ve just been REALLY tired. That’s why there’s been no updates. Who updates blogs nowadays anyway? Sigh. So, updates to come tomorrow, including a crying Oliver is a snow suit, a crying Oliver with Santa, a crying Oliver with a cookie… Wait, I’m…
Why… WHY
Why can’t I stunt his growth? Why does my boy insist on growing up so quickly, and doing such “kid” things? What happened to my baby? I miss my baby. A couple of weeks ago he decided to start drinking from a straw. Now it’s juice boxes, all on his own, without spilling a drop anywhere….
Breakfast in the K house
Nov. 9, 2010 These are old. But they’re great, so I had to play catch-up. I meant to post them a while ago but they just got lost on my computer, the abyss the it is. Here’s my guy, getting my other guy some much wanted milk. And here’s my guy yelling at me for taking the…
Freaked out
Ok, so I’m a little freaked out. I just noticed one of those weird things that you notice in life that just kinda confound you. Yesterday I posted my dang it post about the brown butter fried gnocchi at 9:13am. Today I posted the actual recipe for brown butter fried gnocchi at 9:13am I hate…
I think
I think… That today I would much rather be in bed then at work. With Oliver perhaps. Watching some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. And maybe we could go downstairs at some point and make a mess of something (you’d hardly notice with the state my house is currently in). I think that we would make cookies,…
Dang it.
I keep forgetting my pictures of brown butter fried gnocchi at home. This truly is a crime. Because they are delicious. So delicious I’m now making them as a side for Christmas dinner, even though to my ridiculously Canadian family that is the last thing you would see. We’re (meaning historically, before this year, my…
Arugh
I’ve got one of those horrendous colds today. The kind where you can’t even thing about food, or plans, let alone put them onto paper (or a blog, whatever). At this rate my grocery list for tomorrow is never going to get done. At this rate, I’m ok with that.
Santa Claus Parade
Nov. 21, 2010 It’s that time of year again in Toronto. When thousands of parents line the city streets with their kids, all so they can get a view of Santa on his first official trip out. We met Nana and Papa there, who despite my impecible directions on where to meet, which included repeated…
A Riddle For You
What happens when a pregnant woman posts her recipe for Chocolate Sheet Cake? She daydreams. She drools (at work no less) She tries to talk herself out of what she’s thinking about doing She resigns herself to the fact that there will be no talking herself out of it She fights in her mind about…
Time to get our paint on
Nov. 20, 2010 Oliver likes to paint, and it used to be that almost every weekend I’d bust out the finger paints for him on Saturday morning. For the last few months though, he’s been happy colouring with his Crayola’s, and I’ve been happy not having to scrub paint out from under his fingernails. I…
