There’s a blanket on my couch that I’m very protective of. I bought it on a whim at Superstore last year, and ended up spending most of the first two weeks of nights with Jack under it on the couch. There was something about the softness of that blanket hitting us that calmed us both […]
Peanut Butter & Jam Oat Breakfast Bars
It is truly astounding how much I hate babysitting. I love my own children with an intense, unending, smothering love and literally never get tired of the blessing of getting to stay home with them. But, schedule me to be in a room with 10+ children, such as in our church nursery, and I literally […]
Saturday Sweets: Fudgy Peppermint Brownies
If only I could be that blogger who’s in style when it comes to food, I totally would have shared these with you around Christmas, when mint chocolate combinations and candy canes are allll the rage. But then I would also be the kind of blogger who makes Thanksgiving dinner and 25 side dishes and […]
Saturday Sweets: Salted Pretzel Blondies
It’s Saturday and it’s HOT. Summer, you surprised me too soon, as I knew you would. If you feel like turning on your oven, and you like the salty sweet combination so popular these days, at least I can tell you these squares will be worth breaking a sweat for! For the recipe, head over […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Squares
Who doesn’t love Rice Krispies? Ooooooo, OOOhhh, oooh, pick me, pick meeee! (*waves hands over head*) But wait, what’s that you say? You’ve put them into square form and added peanut butter and chocolate? Ohhh, SNAP. And crackle. And, obviously, pop. I’ll eat that. It’s the strange truth: Rice Krispies in milk give me the […]
Saturday Sweets: Cranberry Chocolate Oat Bars
Has it actually been a whole week since we chatted? Oh dear. I’ve been working hard though, much to Carl’s amusement when he comes home late at night to sights like these: “Look Mom, no hands!” But I miss blogging. And I wish I could blame the baby, but really, he sleeps. Liiiike…….that’s pretty much […]
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 […]
Saturday Sweets: Peanutty Candy Bars
It was just going to be one of those unassuming days at Zellers, soon to be officially Target. I just needed a buggy to cart around little b and the spoils of what was going to be a large shopping trip. Turns out that their buggies need to swallow a loonie in order to be […]
Saturday Sweets: Calico Squares
There are few things that make me crazier than hair in my dishwater. Tell me I’m not alone in this? I do not have a dishwasher at my disposal, and I actually don’t really mind doing the dishes, but, when there is a hair in the water, it gives me the heebies in the very […]
Cranberry Orange Crumble Squares {Cookbook Review}
You guuuuuuuuuuys. I cannot even tell you how excited I was when this cookbook arrived in the mail. First of all, free things! They make me silly happy. Second of all, beautiful free things! It’s been awhile since I had a new cookbook to drool over, and this one is beyond droolworthy. With stunning, colourful […]
