Baby Scrapbook

Kris took Meredith to see Shrek 4 in theatres today, so I got a bit of time by myself. Fiona ended up falling asleep in one arm, so I decided to just take advantage and relax and ended up starting her baby book. I’ve decided to do hers completely digitally. There are a few things still [...]

Thanksgiving

We had a busy Thanksgiving weekend here. My twin sisters came to visit from Calgary. One of them has only visited once, and it was four or five years ago. The other has never been out here. So it was really neat to see them. I really haven’t spent much time alone with them in a [...]

Salmon Dog Treats

We ran out of the treats I normally use for our dog classes, and since I’d been planning on trying to make my own at some point anyway I decided now was as good a time as ever. I wanted a soft treat since I use them for training. Most of the recipes for soft treats [...]

Homemade Deodorant

Being just about out of deodorant, I once again started a search for a natural deodorant that really works. Maybe I just have stinky pits or something, but most of the ones I have tried don’t work or, if they do, seem to lose effectiveness pretty quickly.

Throw away the Deet…

I remember Deet growing up.  For those who don’t know, Deet is the most common ingredient found in most commercial insect repellents, and is known to be highly toxic.  My parents used to caution us to use only tiny amounts, especially my dad who is an environmentalist and was quite concerned about its use.

Here is some [...]

Roasted Herb Sticky Chicken

We had this for supper tonight. I took pictures but now I can’t find them, so you’ll have to trust me that it looked delicious.

It was so good, and all dairy-free. We gave Bebe tiny amounts of everything except the onion. She ate a little mashed potato (and seemed to really enjoy it), [...]
