I can't believe it's Friday again already. This week has just flown by. I've been busy making gifts and helping my children make gifts. I've used this time of year to give my boys a working knowledge of the sewing machine. Their favourite gifts to make through the years are the ones where they get …
Two vitamins today and the we are finished with the B vitamins - biotin and folic acid.Biotin is necessary for our bodies to be able to make use of fats and carbs and it is important in the formation of cells. It also helps us to metabolize protein and use the other B vitamins. Our …
Today I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new. I went out on my own to remake a sweater into something I would use. I had a sweater I'd been given several years ago that I never liked. It was/is just too bulky and awkward feeling. A few weeks ago I decided …
I know I've been missing for a few days. We've been busy as a family as everyone else is at this time of year. Yesterday we had a visit from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. I wanted us to make gifts for them. I only had about a week to get ready, and in true fashion …

A little bragging time here. My daughter has a blog - well, two actually. Her main blog - Ramblings of a Janeite - is all about period dramas, book/movie/music reviews, and some randomocity. Occasionally she does lists of things she is loving at the moment. I love these lists. They are beautiful, and I feel …
My daughter had an ugly binder so I told her I would cover it for her. In the past I have done the kind of covers where it's glued right to the binder, but this time I wanted something she could move to another binder when hers wore out. To start with you need …
I know five - well four - little boys who are going to be having a lot of fun in the next few days. The winner is...Rowena!Congratulations Rowena. I know where I can reach you so I'll be getting this prize to you soon. ☺Thanks to everyone who shared on Facebook, signed up for the …
I've saved the best activity for the last - in our opinion. This one takes some prep but that's part of the fun.I don't particularly like play dough, but sometimes you can't go with what you like, and for fun you just can't beat play dough unless you add the fun of making it yourself.One …
