I cannot believe its the tail end of September!! My meal planning has been severely lacking ? I stopped by Superstore today and grabbed some fresh fruits and a rotisserie chicken so we can have some sandwiches and soup. Check out some of the things we had this week and please share what you've been making! I feel like the only way to stay ahead is to prep, cook and fill the freezer with some frozen meals.  Which I do do and its great but then we clean it all out and I fall behind until the next big cooking day.  I am not great at keeping ahead enough so it doesn't feel completely ove ..read more

 Heeelllllloooo....                         via GIPHY I wish I had better news for you but unfortunately this has been another unbelievable week! My heart goes out to everyone affected by the flash floods in Nova Scotia. I don't have the words to describe how upsetting its been to go through so much these last few years. I am just going to forge ahead with some foodie info in this blog post because its all I can do to not cry & I need to do something to keep my mind at ease.  I wish I could say I have some good meal ..read more

 This last year (summer 2022-2023) has been cray cray! So much has happened, I couldn't possibly recap it all but lets go over a bit and if there's anything you'd like to hear more about just let me know! I keep meaning to keep everyone in the loop but all I can seem to do is hold on for the ride. Honestly the only way I can remember all these things is by looking back in my photos!  Thank goodness I am a 24/7 photog who never deletes anything ? Last Summer we went to PEI, it was such a great family vacation. We are so thankful to live near so many beautiful places and attraction ..read more

 OH MAN. This past week was BAD, real bad. (for food?) Every single day there was a party. There was a lot of ice cream and pizza. Safe to say the entire family is not feeling their best. We enjoyed the partying, don't get me wrong ? But being out of the house so much was tough! We weren't home at all and when we were it was KD and pizza here as well because we were rushing out the door! I did make the Benjiman TV creamy spaghetti which is one of my absolute favourites!!  It is so quick and easy & SO tasty! The whole family enjoys this one and I had been craving some comfort p ..read more

It's Sunday, I cannot believe a week ago at this time we were just at the beginning stages of the Nova Scotia wildfire nightmare.. my heart goes out to all my Nova Scotians at this time.  I truly do not have the words for the devastation and loss, I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be. We will continue to look for resources to share and take part in.  Thinking of you all ? During the last few months we have been very busy and my meal prep has been almost non existent. You know I like the beginning of the week to get a start on things so I thought I would try to share more ..read more

 JOURNALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH, I AM SO EXCITED! A part of me feels like its too soon to make this announcement and another part of me feels like its been in the works for my entire life. To sum it up - I have always kept a diary. I have my Barbie diary from 31 years ago when I was 5/6 years old writing about what I did that day. I can remember going to the book fairs at school and yearning to buy the notebooks and journals - I did buy a few I have them in my closet now and I still feel the same heart beating excitement I felt back then when I see the beautiful cover designs and t ..read more

 Happy 5 on Friday!!  I don't even know where to begin with this one ? 1. This week I ended up back at the hospital.  I really did not want to spend any more time at doctors/hospitals but after speaking with the receptionist on the phone she said my Doctor would like to see me in person.  I haven't fully summed up my journey but basically in August I developed a rash on my breast, it went through some changes and I went to have a biopsy in December.  I had no reason to believe that anything was up with my biopsy spot, I just assumed all biopsy incisions are that lar ..read more

  Well, well, well. . 2 weeks into 2023 and this has hardly been the simplistic start to the year that I had hoped for but none the less I can't complain! Life has been chugging along and I've enjoyed so many things lately, let's take a peek at them and can you help me out with something??? 1. Our basement is done! YAY, it looks gorgeous, the above photo is my new office. Just out of frame there is a large but very slim+ sleek/minimal in depth rounded top mirror hanging on the wall.  An arched mirror (? is that what to call it? ?)  And I'm looking to mimic the arch look on ..read more

Happy New Year!! 2023 already, my oh my. How are you feeling going into the New Year? Do you have a new word for the upcoming year? Resolutions?  Anything you're looking forward to or looking forward to leaving behind?  Dish the TEA here, we've got a safe space ? I am very much looking forward to January 1st!  I love a Monday, a months start, a new season and although I am not a big resolution maker, I LOVE to try again. Make a list, brainstorm things, try something new, get knocked down, pick myself up and try it again, try it again.  My word this year is something lik ..read more

 It's not Friday but I have 3 seconds and I've missed you all so00 much and these 5 on Friday posts! Let's catch up as quick as we can, shall we!?  I'm sure so many people get this feeling but it's super prevalent in the content community.. the feeling as if you can't/won't/don't feel like sharing something until things are 100% in order/complete but the problem is that along with being a content creator we are real people who's projects usually take just as long as other real peoples projects! ?  I wish things happened as quickly as social media sometimes can make it seem but i ..read more
