We've had a pretty good summer, and now we've already finished four weeks of school! School is going so much better this year. I'm planning on writing a post to tell you what we're doing because it might help you too. 🙂 In the past two weeks I've learned to make yogurt (something I always …

Friday File 84
In spite of the rough start to the summer with my car accident we had a good summer. My arm is healed now although I think I will always have some scarring. Thankfully it no longer looks like the VW logo. We stayed at home this summer just making one short trip to the States …
Friday File 83
Here I am actually popping on to get you caught up with our family. I haven't written a Friday post since February, and we've had a lot of things happen - some good, some not so good. In May on Victoria Day my seven-year-old son fell of his bike, and we ended up at the …
Friday File 83
The last few weeks have felt like a "two steps forward one step back" dance with processing my grief which explains why I haven't been posting much. Everyone expects that grief will be hard emotionally. I just really had no concept of how physically hard it would be to deal with grief. I feel like …
Friday File 81
This has been a big week craft wise. I cautiously went back to knitting - at first. Then I went at it frantically to finish a hooded scarf I started for my daughter before she went with her siblings to a church snow camp. I finished it just a couple of hours before she left. …
Friday File 73
Another busy week! But I still managed to sew even if it meant doing it early in the morning before I woke the children up. My son asked me for a gun case for his airsoft gun. I was a little nervous about this project because I had no idea how I was going to …
Friday File 69
Life has been a little slower this week. There was no chemo! The weeks we have chemo (two out of every three weeks), it takes three days out of my week. One day for blood work and to see the oncologist to talk about the blood work and Hugo's health in general, and one day …
A Busy Kitchen Day
For weeks and months - maybe even years - I've read about women who do once-a-month cooking, or bake for the week/month, or make up ten freezer meals in an afternoon. I've always wanted to try something like this, but could never get all the ingredients together to do it all at once. Well, today …
THM Hot Chocolate {Fuel Pull}
Hello, everyone! My name's Eva-Joy, and my mom asked me to guest post today and share my THM hot chocolate recipe with her followers. I got the original recipe off of Pinterest, but I've tweaked it so much that it hardly resembles the original anymore - I'm a huge hot chocolate fan, so it took …
Sewing and Cooking Again – Yeah!
It's been a couple of weeks since I posted on a Friday. That's because last Friday I was busy getting ready for my husband's 50th birthday party the next day. We kept it simple, but even simple requires planning and preparation. The party went so wonderfully. My husband said it was the best birthday he …
