Waffle sticks

Accessorize your summer giveaway
That’s right, everybody! It’s my first giveaway! A little sumthin’ sumthin’ to thank my current followers (at least in Canada and the US) and welcome my new ones. If you’ve […]
Healthy nibbles
Today I rejoined the gym after three and a half months off and I gotta say, it’s good to be back. I’ve been feeling like I let myself go to […]

We had our share of adventures last week, starting with the kids’ first trip to a strawberry farm. We went with a friend and her seven-year-old daughter one warm, breezy […]
Collections
I don’t collect anything per se, but I can’t resist a cute roll of washi tape (aka Japanese paper tape). Today I’m sharing my wee inventory. Just a baker’s dozen. […]

Okay so it’s weird to give you the week’s highlights on a Tuesday (even Monday feels strange; maybe I’ll change this feature to Sundays), but my tablet has been crashing so I put it […]
Summer surprise garland
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Summer’s long days leave plenty of time for spontaneous fun. Only I like my fun a little more planned. This surprise garland allows for both: […]
Rhubarb chiller
After several nights of tossing and turning in the sticky heat, we’ve finally got a bit of a break in the weather. Today is my kind of day: warm enough for flip […]

Don’t you love it when you get together with a friend you haven’t seen in ages and it feels like no time has passed? That’s how it was when I […]
Flourless chocolate cookies
If it’s hot where you are, baking might be the last thing on your mind. You want to be out in the sunshine, walking, lounging or gardening or maybe running around with […]
A word on sleep
Most of us know how important sleep is for our health, but how many of us can say we get enough zzzzs? Sometimes you need someone to force you to […]

The Farmer’s market had a bounty of delicious goodness this week, with seasonal greens making way for more colourful fruits and veggies. Here’s my daughter feigning interest in the radishes. Such […]
Mini doughnuts for a sickee
When you were a kid and home from school with the flu, what made you feel better? For me it was buttered toast cut into long strips called soldiers, popsicles […]
DIY dip-dyed salad spoons
Now these aren’t actually dip-dyed salad spoons, ‘but they do have that dip-dyed look. The how-to is so easy that it needs little explaining, which is a relief since I’ve […]

Happy Monday, friends! What does the week have in store for you? Today is the start of my second week participating in two photo challenges that are pushing me to […]
Doughnut roundup
So apparently Canada has the highest number of doughnut shops per capita in the world and yet it’s the Americans who’ve got a National Doughnut Day. (It was yesterday, in […]
Mini strawberry shortcakes
As a woman of a certain age (*cough* 40 *cough cough*), invites to bridal and baby showers are few and far between. Nearly all of my girlfriends are long married or on […]

How do you spend your Sundays? I can’t get moving before a couple of cups of tea, so I like to nurse those while browsing the Interwebs and entering online […]
A tall glass of sunshine
I’ve never been much of a juice or slushie person — I prefer to get my calories from something I can chew, rather than drink — but this booze-free strawberry-watermelon daiquiri […]

It’s mostly greens at the farmers’ market this time of year, so the plump red tomatoes stood out among the baskets of asparagus, cucumbers and herbs when we visited yesterday. […]
