Blog of The Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I started blogging in 2007, it was simply a way to keep my faraway friends and family updated on what was happening in our lives as we expected our first child. Five and a half years on, it is so much more. Blogging is full of friends and inspiration and opportunities and community. I lov...

Has anyone else noticed that they make pj's so tight that you literally have to wrestle your little one into them? I know it's for fire safety, but come on! Fitted, sure, but skin tight? No, thanks. I decided to take matters into my own hands and sew Jude some pajamas that fit. I was t...
Yum! Jill these sound wonderful!

BANANA CHUNK MUFFINS
i've been wanting to try this since making the blueberry muffins. i used the same recipe, which you can find here. this time i didn't double it, just in case the results were disastrous. i made a single batch and substituted a cup of chopped up, very ripe banana's for the blueberries:: ...

Fall Update
After a long hiatus I thought I'd update my readers - assuming I still have some! We're enjoying life in Calgary and continuing to bloom where we're planted. The Canadoca is now three and a half and enjoying music classes, preschool and one day a week at a day home. We would like to add to our f...

The Big 3-0
Well, as you might be able to tell by the picture above, I had a pretty fabulous 30th birthday. Jason threw a party for me at the posh, glamorous, super fun Coppola Winery Pool. It was like a luxury vacation. We had so much fun that I felt like I blinked and it was over. Sometimes, that'...
Very Cute! I bought purchased a cup and saucer a few years ago to do this- but just dropped a ball of yarn in it instead! This is a great tutorial, I will be sure to try! Thanks Carla.

DIY Pin Cushion
I collect espresso cups. I just can't get enough of those adorable little demitasses, or the espresso that goes in them. I also have a horrible habit of pulling pins and leaving them in a pile next to my sewing machine. In a stroke of caffeine fueled inspiration, I came up with a way to ge...
Yummy Jill! I must try this. (You don't mind if I pin it of course!)

How to Volunteer with your Toddler
One of my 30 Before Thirty goals was to volunteer. Volunteering is one of those things that sounds great and important, but can be easily forgotten with a few quick excuses. Here's a list of excuses that I used for a while: I'm too busy. I simply don't have the time. I can't make a big com...

KITCHEN AREA MAKEOVER Part II Country Living-Inspired Ruler Runner
L ast week, I left you with a look at a few changes I made to my kitchen eating area. New drapes and a new area rug have made a big difference but this space still needed a little bit more. This week, I turned my attention to my large, farm-style table which was in sore need of a little pick-m...

The Countdown: 8 Weeks to Go
I submit my manuscript 8 weeks from today. This is what I have left to do: 77 balls of yarn. SEVENTY SEVEN BALLS OF YARN have to be made into something in 8 weeks. That means I need to use about 1/day for the next 2 months. And the postman wondered why I was crying when I answered the doo...

Good Morning
I was awake, heart pumping with anxiety. Rolling over, I looked at the clock on my phone. 3:45am. Being a life-long insomniac, I knew that sleep and I would not meet again. So I got up and started the 25 step commute to work. On the list for the day: photos. Grabbing my camera, I headed ou...

All Change
It is the only constant, isn't it? Particularly so in a life filled with children. I am 100% certain that Theo couldn't walk around the house yesterday, but today he was running (and shrieking) after his brother and sister, much to the dismay of the other patrons at the garden centre. Becau...

after working so long on those ducks, i decided that i was going to keep things simple this year with the cake. i had an idea for the wow factor that, for once, didn't include pounds of fondant and days of preparation. the basic plan: elegance on the outside and fun on the inside. for the flower...

Bringing the Crazy
Aren't these sweet? I am not really into the whole Cath Kidston floral and polka dots thing, but I saw these in a charity shop and had to have them. They sung to me and at £4, unmissable. They were supposed to be £4.50, but I had all 3 children with me, creating havoc with the shop and as I ...
Gosh- I SO "get it". It's always a struggle. When I'm working, I am thinking about the kid, when I am with the kid, I am thinking about work. Sometimes I never do either 100%. My heart obviously leans towards home, but I love the challenge of working (not that home is not, it's just different). You really said it well and made me feel not so alone. Thank you!
