Sharing my random life is what I do best
This is the ultimate fall salad. It has so many wonderful flavours that remind me of the cool weather. I love making it during the season, especially for big holiday feasts. Chris and I love it and he’s constantly bugging me to make it every few days. He says his favourite part of the salad is the Honey Balsamic dressing that I make, I think the whole darn salad is good.Read More
Honesty time, I’m not a fan of raw carrots, especially plain raw carrots. Disgusting. I used to cover them in some sort of dip or I fed them to my dog, Lady. But now that I’m a mama, I can’t really do that anymore….or at least I’m more aware that I shouldn’t do that with a set of little eyes watching me. I want her to eat her carrots so I’ve had to come up with ways to make mine a heck of a lot tastier, ergo roasted parmesan garlic carrots. Read More
So I kinda sorta maybe forgot that Thanksgiving is this weekend. Bad Canadian….also busy mama. Between appointments, chasing after Wendy, and just tiredness, I’ve really been dragging behind on my organization….my poor Erin Condren LifePlanner is gathering dust right now….
Forgetting about a major holiday is rather new to me, I love Thanksgiving and fall so I couldn’t just skip over it without at least trying to put together a small dinner for my family. So when Chris drove past a Real Canadian Superstore and saw an ad for a free ham, I made him jump on that! Not that it took much convincing. So with a 10.5 lbs ham, I had to figure out some of the other details quickly.
I literally decided we would have Thanksgiving dinner at 9 am, quickly went through the stuff I had at home, bought groceries, and started cooking at 1 pm. Dinner was scheduled for 6 pm and I’m happy to say I pulled it all off, on a budget.Read More
From the moment I found out I was pregnant with Wendy, I looked forward to the moments I could read to/with her. I started early, actually, I started when I was pregnant with her. Then when we brought her home, we started up again. I know that she doesn’t really understand the stories, the words probably sound like gibberish right now, but I know she enjoys it.Read More

Fall is the perfect time to start getting cozy on the couch with a blanket, mug of hot apple cider, and binging on your favourite Netflix shows. We had a bit of a cool bunch of nights in the last few weeks, it’s back to being bloody hot again though, so I started searching through Netflix for some shows. I have to say, I wasn’t disappointed.Read More
This week, I definitely need some positivity in my life. It’s my last week on maternity leave and I am having some major anxiety issues, panic attacks that are coming on randomly, and some pretty awful thoughts. So I’m in desperate need of my three small things this week.
What’s on your list this week?
