Crybaby

July 5, 2011 by Amanda

Do you remember a few months back when I was pleading with you all for advice about how to get our baby to sleep through the night? I was so weary, getting up eight times a night, and I thought I was going to dissolve into a puddle of sleep-deprived woe. I kept on hoping things would naturally get … [Read more...]

Cottage Life

July 4, 2011 by erinlittle

Maddy and I were very lucky growing up. Our parents didn't have a lot of extra money so we didn't go on vacations. However, our grandparents had a cottage and going there every summer had a very formative impact on our lives. We were city kids, although we did spend our time … [Read more...]

Easy Summer Dish: Chick Pea Salad Extraordinaire (Chana Chaat)

July 4, 2011 by amreen

The sun is shining, my kids are home, and I do not want to be in the kitchen more than I have to. So, the result is a lot more barbeque, and a lot more meals that don't require standing in front of a stove. Our typical summer meals usually include some barbequed meat (preferable … [Read more...]

The Sandbox

July 4, 2011 by Christine

Right around the beginning of spring I had mentioned to the in-laws that I would love to build a little sandbox around the oak tree in the corner of our backyard. They said it would be fairly easy to do. I hadn't thought much about it after that until about a week ago when Cam came home … [Read more...]

July 4, 2011 by Sara

Canada is all a buzz since Will and Kate arrived in Canada. They spent Canada Day in Ottawa. I hope they found a great pub near Parliament Hill and sat there all day drinking with their buddies and then stumbled out to watch fireworks - that's how I spent a great Canada Day in Ottawa one year. … [Read more...]

Ontario Grilled Peach Salad

July 4, 2011 by Carol Enright

While this recipe has many steps and lots of ingredients it was really fun to make with my husband. We don't often cook together as he feels out of his element in the kitchen. The great thing about this recipe is that it also takes you outside of the kitchen and to the BBQ. My … [Read more...]

I Blame My Lack of Coffee on Katy Perry

July 2, 2011 by Racheal

I had just finished a meeting and realised I was near the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. The pot for my coffee maker had broken and I'd been told Sears carries replacements, so I figured I'd pop in, grab one and get on with my day. Unfortunately, it was also the same day Katy … [Read more...]

Day 1

July 2, 2011 by amreen

Yesterday was the first day of summer holidays. We kicked off the season with a day trip to Centre Island. It's one of my favourite things to do in Toronto. We did it all: the rides, the wading pool, the beach, the train. We came home sandy, sunny and satiated. I LOVED having my … [Read more...]
