Sweet & Sour Spiral Stir Fry #WokStar
I’m not one to give in to fads. I’m not normally one to rush out and buy the latest fashions (even though I am all about style) or the newest gadgets (even though I love technology). But today I gave…
Thimble Cookie Cheesecake Recipe
One of my favorite holiday treats growing up was my grandmother’s famous raspberry thimble cookies. My grandma was an amazing cook and could whip up just about anything (she was also famous for her donuts) but there was just something special…
#EFL #TogetherForever Container Drawer Makeover!
You’ve just finished dinner. You’re cleaning up and have some leftovers to put away in the fridge. You go to your container drawer or shelf and the hunt begins. The hunt for the perfect size container. If you’re lucky enough…
#unBOXPossibilities Experience the Gift of Survival
Well I did it – I made a vlog! And yes I say ummm. A lot. So I apologize in advance for my awkwardness. Although I’m pretty comfortable with public speaking, being video taped is well outside of my comfort…
Wordless Wednesday – Snow Ball Fight w/linky
We’ve been enjoying some unseasonably nice weather here and the little one and I took full advantage of it the other day – building snowmen and having a snow ball fight! Be sure to leave a comment after you link…
Paneer Pakora (Indian Veggie & Cheese Fritters)
One of my favorite parts of entertaining is cooking up delicious dishes for my guests. And I absolutely adore preparing finger food. It gives everyone the opportunity to sample a variety of goodies without having to over indulge. It’s also…
Butter Tart Sugar Cookies

Mason Jar Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
I’m sure you’ve seen these cute mason jar cookies mixes before. Every time I see them I think about what a cute gift they would make, especially for people that like treats but maybe don’t bake a lot. Just about…
#BetterLunchInASnap with Rubbermaid
Mornings can be pretty hectic around here. Both my husband and I work out of the home and we have a 4 1/2 year old that goes off to daycare every week day. Getting us all ready and out the…
Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Chair Review & Giveaway (CAN 12/15)
Sometimes it seems like it was forever ago that I had a toddler at home. Sometimes it seems like it was just yesterday. My little one is 4 1/2 now (yes that 1/2 is important) so in reality it hasn’t…
Now Your Wishes From the Heart Make Someone Else’s Come True
The holidays are a magical time. A time for family and friends. A time for giving and sharing. For our little ones it’s a time that wishes really do come true. And if you are really, really lucky sometimes you…
DIY – Ice Hurricanes
Another creative (not sure where she gets the energy) idea from my talented friend Jessica. Who, by the way lives in Winterpeg (Winnipeg in case you aren’t from around these parts) and happened to have penned a series of “edge…
A Clean Life is a Better Life – Natural Products that WORK & a Giveaway (CAN 12/22)
I remember years ago when I started to see “green” cleaning products come on the market. I thought it was a great idea and I totally bought into it. What I soon discovered was that I was paying more for…
Homemade Tea Bags – The Perfect DIY Gift Idea
Huge thank you to my good friend Jessica for this awesome, and of so pretty, DIY gift idea. My mother-in-law is impossible to buy for (like actually, seriously impossible). She’s very appreciative and grateful for everything, but finding something that…
