This year I did a first for me – I decorated for fall! No, no, not Halloween, I will forever be confused by the idea of putting dead bodies in your front yard, and stringing up skeletons by their jaws, and calling it festive decor. If there is ever a corpse in my yard, I […]

Sarah’s Crescent Roll Buns
You know those people you read or hear about that you think you would kind of hate if you met in person? Those people who seem to do it all, and do it well, without a hair ever falling out of place? Those people who own two successful small businesses, work from home, have 3 […]
Saturday Sweets: PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP SQUARES
So I have no idea what day it is, ever. One week into being at home and all semblance of routine seems oh so long ago. Now I’m understanding why my mom did laundry on Mondays and Thursdays, grocery shopping on Tuesdays, and housework on Fridays – she just needed something to mark which day […]
Home Again, Home Again
As of this week, I’m officially back to being a stay-at-home mom as I wait for baby #3 to make it’s appearance in only about 3 short weeks! I’m always on the fence about this feeling, although I have to say so far I feel so relaxed knowing I don’t have to set my alarm, […]
Of Paint and Pregnancy
There are times I realize how amazing the people in my life are. Times like when I went to visit Anna at the paint store because I simply needed to repaint one of the main colours in my house. Yes, I painted it 4 months ago. And yes, the colours were, well, more than a […]
Perfect Apple Crisp
Can we all agree that apple crisp is the bomb? I could eat apple crisp every. single. day. And this week I did. It was wonderful. You know what else I did? Graham crumbs in the topping. I told you, I’m obsessed. This is going down in history as the best apple crisp ever made, […]
Nesting
“Yook at that yuuuuuge pile of yawndry! Ooooooh, can I touch it? Can I?” With those words, and an awestruck expression, Kristopher carefully climbed onto the kitchen table the other morning to investigate the tower of clean “yawndry” overflowing my laundry basket after a night of washing everything I could get my hands on, from […]
Mini Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Just when you thought you’d already had enough of pumpkin, I’m here to tell you there is more pumpkin be explored! More to be enjoyed! More to be baked! Maybe this year I’ll even attempt carving a pumpkin for the first time in my life? Also, ’tis the season for pumpkin patches! We ventured out […]
Turkey & Sausage Jambalaya
When someone asks me at work if it’s ok for them to paint while pregnant, I feel like they think they are looking at an 8- month-pregnant party girl with a cigarette in one hand and a beer in the other. Really, are you asking me, in my obviously pregnant state, if it’s ok for […]
Saturday Sweets: Pumpkin Layer Cake
I’m losing it. Well, I may have already lost it, but I’m giving myself the benefit of the doubt. Besides, I can’t remember if I told you in a different post that I was losing it, or if it’s the first time. If it is the first time, then I can still get away saying […]
Furniture Refinishing: TV Wall Unit
Welcome to another fun Furniture Friday! This one is a looooong time in coming, and I am SO excited to finally be able to share it! When we lived in Ottawa (so, like 2.5 years ago?) I found this fabulous wall unit second hand for a steal of a deal and just had to have […]
Pumpkin Graham Muffins
Lately I feel like I’m caught in a massive round of catch-up where you never quite get caught up. I’m holding on to the knowledge that by next Saturday I’ll be done the necessary papers I need to do for school and the articles I need to write for a magazine, finished with the welcome […]
