FotoFriday – Iced

It was a treacherous walk from the front door to my van this morning, but it sure was pretty. … [Read more...]

Nothing to wear

April 12, 2013 by Alanna Leave a Comment

(Image source) I know I'm supposed to feel beautiful and appreciate my pregnant body, but at 27 weeks I look at myself and see a beached whale (sigh). As I try to squeeze my over sized belly into my pre-maternity shirts I realize that it's time I do some serious shopping. When I was pregnant … [Read more...]

Dinner In a Glass – Bloody April

April 12, 2013 by Tracey 5 Comments

Perhaps the weather is less than stellar where you are today. Oh hai, thanks for the all snow and ice balls, April. Never mind. Make yourself a cocktail, and just wait for that crap to end. This is basically a Bloody Mary, only with more deliciousness. Let's call it a Bloody April. It's … [Read more...]

3 Sweet Treats for The Weekend

April 12, 2013 by thenest 3 Comments

The weekend is here! Yay! Often, I like to bake treats for my family on the weekends, which can be anything from a simple pan of brownies to the more-effort-involved pie. If you don't bake, but would like to, I really encourage you to give it a try. If you feel something is holding you back, try … [Read more...]

Updated! The winner, according to Random.org was commenter #57, chel22. I will be contacting you via email to get your prize to you! "There's six feet of snow on the lawn and it's minus 25 degrees with the windchill!" my mom choked out yesterday. She lives in Saskatchewan. Poor bunny. This … [Read more...]

From My Closet – April 11th, 2013

April 11, 2013 by Urban Closet 12 Comments

So, I happened by the place the rhymes with Sinners the other day, mostly perusing the shoes, the way I often do... and didn't I find this cute pair of Converse sneakers? And weren't they just the right price for budget-savvy moi?! They read like a burgundy + pink tweed which gives them an all-over … [Read more...]

The weather up here is fine

April 10, 2013 by Jason Leave a Comment

13 years old, six foot three, 204lbs. Those were my stats when I entered grade nine and tried out for the high school football team. The coach quickly named me Baby Huey, which, if you didn't know, is an old Paramount cartoon star about the adventures of a giant duck with diapers. The name stuck … [Read more...]

Spring Sorting

April 10, 2013 by Tracey 11 Comments

Spring hasn't completely sprung around these parts just yet (and I heard someone say we're to expect 15 - 20 centimetres of snow on Friday... I will try not to weep, but I can make no promises.) I may not be able to put those snowpants away just yet, but the itch to get the spring sorting and … [Read more...]

Dinner. Time.

April 9, 2013 by Cayla Leave a Comment

I didn't cook my family dinner tonight. Ok. That's not altogether true. Technically, I did prepare dinner, but it took very little skill or effort and it wasn't up to my personal standards of excellence. My roast chicken was store-bought, my broccoli was plainly steamed, and my potatoes … [Read more...]

Extra Pepperoni. ON MY FACE.

April 9, 2013 by Amanda 3 Comments

While I may have the sagging bosoms and bottom of a 30 year-old mother of three, I have the face of a 16 year-old. A 16 year-old with a bad case of acne, that is. It's bad, you guys. My break-outs used to be confined to the week before my menstrual cycle would start, but as of late, my … [Read more...]
