Quick update. We’re on our way to Florida now (YAY!). Currently sitting in stunningly warm Columbia, Southern Carolina, we knocked out 15 hours in the car today (leaving at 3 am was pretty rough though). 6 and a half hours to go and we’ll be unloading at the resort before heading to T-Rex Cafe for…

OXO Egg Beater Giveaway – Over
Alright ladies and gents, it’s finally time for that long alluded to give-away that you guys actually get (my last one was given to a neighbor, you can read here to find out why, and about the OXO Cookies for Kids Cancer charity). Anyway, today I’ve got an OXO Egg Beater for one of you!…
Distractions…
Sorry folks, I’m pretty distracted right now with a very sick little boy in the house, so posts are taking a back seat. Oliver was helping me out with a give-away tonight though, so look for that in the next day or two. Hopefully this fever breaks soon so we can all get back to…
Sometimes it’s just one of those days.
Today, it was really one of those days. Bo snores sometimes. Sometimes he snores a lot. Last night…last night Bo snored more than he ever has before, and I’m guessing it had something to do with the stronger sleeping pills that he took because the mild ones ran out. That fact means nothing to me…
A conversation about lunch, with Oliver
I had to get this written up before I forgot it. Here’s the conversation I just had with Oliver about lunch today: me: I’m going to make you an awesome grilled cheese for lunch Oliver: no cheese me: what do you want? Oliver: rice me: I don’t have rice Oliver: burger me: I don’t have…
Sicky sicky
Sick days with Oliver aren’t exactly my idea of a sick day. My perfect sick day would break down like this:
At first…
At first I was like:
City Thanksgiving
I’m going to start this picture post off with a story. It was Thanksgiving take two and everyone was sitting around upstairs, having finished their dinner, just talking and joking. Then someone said the dreaded words: Has anyone seen Oliver? After a solid round of “no’s” we started looking around the house. No Oliver upstairs,…
Country Thanksgiving
Now, for those of you from the US, this is nothing like a country Thanksgiving. It’s just that my family’s thanksgiving was at my grandparents cottage, and Bo’s family’s was at his aunts in the city. So, country Thanksgiving. It was, by far, the best weekend for Thanksgiving that we could remember. It felt like…
Lazy days are the best days.
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…
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…
