OK July…you’re doing a great job reminding us what summer can really feel like. We’ve had very little rain which is so very hard for the farmers and gardeners and a wave of heat and humidity has settled in for what feels like a few weeks now. Wowza…it’s the dog days of summer! Whether you’re …
Things are ramping up around here. I’m spending more time outside working in the garden and just enjoying the spring weather…so lovely! This also leads to me dreading to have to come in and get supper ready or scrambling at the last-minute. Then there are the activities. My daughter has had a busy sports schedule this …
Certain seasons are busier than others. When you have a family, they all can certainly feel busy, but definitely there are times when the calendar is full and lots of things are happening.

Right now we are deep into my daughter’s basketball season…which included a tournament in Truro this weekend..and my sons Junior B Hockey team…which involve games every weekend. …
OK…it’s been awhile. I haven’t done a meal plan post since November. It became evident again that I SUCK at meal planning in December….which is really when I need it most. I just don’t like cooking in December…there are events and parties and cheese…and cookies….so I’m going to try to do a Freezer Meal Plan …
Well, I had quite the weekend! There was some cooking, some relaxation and some big firsts. I have been feeling a bit unmotivated lately when it comes to cooking…mostly…I am tired of it. I enjoy cooking, but there are times I just feel I need a little break. I may have mentioned to the kids …
So…that was March Break I guess? It went really quickly and we finished it off with a snow storm…UGH! We didn’t go far but we did have a good week with another visit to The Barn and a little more Forced Family Fun. My youngest even made a batch of M&M Springtime Cookies today, paying …
