Bring Home Happy with Trolls
It’s been a crazy few weeks over here, and it’s time to bring home happy! We would first like to disclose that this post has been written in Christine’s words, but since she is still unable to have any screen time until she recovers from her concussion, a few of us have volunteered to type […]
World Prematurity Day: No Baby Unhugged
No Baby Unhugged. November 17th is World Prematurity Day, a day intended to raise awareness of the high rates of premature births worldwide. When babies arrive early they’re sensitive, vulnerable and in need of care around the clock. And while medicine and machines are an important part of their treatment, hospitals are now discovering human touch […]
Time Flies! Our Little Preemie is EIGHT Years Old!
I never fully understood what people meant when they told me “Enjoy them while they’re young”, “They’re only little once”, and “Time flies!” Then I had a child and all of a sudden, I knew what others meant, and boy, were they right. Time flies! It’s hard to believe that this time eight years ago, […]

Lumpiang Shanghai ~ Filipino Spring Roll Recipe
Some of my earliest memories are of my mom, her sisters, and my grandmother gathering around the kitchen table and making Lumpiang Shanghai and other Filipino food together. There would always be lots of laughter and chatter as the sisters worked together to prepare a feast for the family. The sound of laughter and the […]
Layered Eggplant, Zucchini, Tomato Gratin & a #BakersSecret Giveaway!
One of my absolute favourite dishes is my Layered Eggplant, Zucchini, Tomato Gratin. Years ago, I used to just put throw in all my vegetables for my ratatouille in a baking dish and cook them, but I find the presentation for this dish is so visually appealing. When it comes to making side dishes for […]
Mini Chocolate Chess Pies
It’s National Chocolate Day, so we whipped up some Mini Chocolate Chess Pies. One of my husband’s favourite desserts is Chocolate Chess Pie. Hubby mentioned recently that I haven’t been baking as much as when we first started dating. Before we got married, I baked him gourmet cheesecakes regularly. Now, he only gets homemade gourmet […]

Father’s Day is just a few days away. I’m sure many people have been planning for weeks and months how they are going to be celebrating Dad this year. Truth be told, this year has been a bust with my accident back in January and a long five month recovery time. I’m able to do […]

TELUS WISE Seniors: Helping Seniors Feel Comfortable with Tech
TELUS WISE Seniors – Helping Seniors Feel Comfortable with Tech & Navigate the Wired World I remember back in the late 80s, my parents brought home our family’s very first computer.

Revitalized: Rest and Relaxation at Casino Rama
It’s been a pretty stressful year so far. Since Hubby’s accident in February, life has been tough. Work, work, work. Farm, farm, farm. Family, family, family. It’s easy to lose one’s self when there is little to no down time. When the opportunity to sharpen up social media and marketing skills AND get some rest […]
You Could Win FREE Gas for a Year from State Farm Canada! #StateFarmFreeGas
Would you believe me if I told you that you could win FREE gas for a year from State Farm Canada? I don’t know about you, but some days I find “adulting” really challenging. To be honest, having to deal with bills, upon bills, upon bills, and work like crazy, only to do it all […]

Hard to Believe I Haven’t Done Groceries in Three Weeks
It may be lack of time or it may just be tightening our belts, but it’s hard to believe I haven’t done groceries in three weeks! Not having done groceries in three weeks has not been intentional. Life’s been really busy with school starting again and having visitors, and being away for a wedding in […]

Spring is an exciting time of the year on the farm, mainly because we get to experience calving season. It’s something […]
So, You Want to Marry a Farmer?
Yes, having taught English from 1998 to 2012, I realize that you should never begin a sentence with “so”. So, You Want to Marry a Farmer makes for a fun title though, doesn’t it? I did contemplate on the title and thought I would call this post, A Day on the Farm. So, You Want to Marry […]
