So…that was March Break I guess? It went really quickly and we finished it off with a snow storm…UGH! We didn’t go far but we did have a good week with another visit to The Barn and a little more Forced Family Fun. My youngest even made a batch of M&M Springtime Cookies today, paying …
Ok, I’m keeping it real here, it’s March Break this week and all my kids are off and home. We usually don’t jump on a plane and head to the beach, we stay close to home, plan a few things and also just “go with the flow” and maybe even try to feel the “break” …
Most often if I am in the city (about an hour away) for meetings, they frequently fall on a Friday. The best case scenario for me is that I then have enough time when the meetings conclude, to quickly stop in to Costco before I head home. Our house is full of teenagers on weekends …
OK…this week’s meal plan is a little bit different…we could call it a Pork-a-Palozza. Why a Pork-a-Palozza…because I made a quick stop into Costco on Friday. It’s Meal Plan Monday! I was in Halifax for a fantastic meeting with East Coast Mom Bloggers and had just enough time to zip into Costco before I hit …
We’re a hockey family. My son plays in the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey league, and we are currently in the first round of playoffs. Playoffs have us traveling in the middle of the week for a game, or playing a home game at 8:00pm on a Sunday night, like we did last night. These weeks …
It’s a holiday today here in Nova Scotia, Heritage Day, and this is only the second year we have had this day recognized. While many provinces celebrate Family Day, we now observe Heritage Day on the third Monday of February. I have to say I think I can get used to a planned long weekend …
Super Bowl Sunday is over. By all accounts it was a historical game. I am not much of a football watcher, but certainly appreciate the thrill of a come back win. I spent last night watching one of my favourites, “Crazy, Stupid Love” with my daughter. I love that movie. So funny, and realistic when …
Some weekends are crazier than the week they follow. I just finished two full days of running to events, writing blog posts, social media shares, hockey games and an all day conference an hour from where I live…on very little sleep. Oh boy…am I ready for a new week! 😉 Welcome to Meal Plan Monday! …
Pioneer Woman and I go way back…to the beginning of blogging…or at least when I discovered this thing called blogs. Ree Drummond, who is also knows as The Pioneer Woman describes herself as “an accidental country girl” who shares recipes, stories and beautiful photos, of their family life with 4 kids on a beautiful ranch …
Not all week’s go according to plan. Nor do weekends. So this weekend when my daughter who was home for the night from college, mentioned very casually Sunday afternoon that she needed a few groceries AND might also need a drive back to school and her apartment…about an hour fifteen away…my plans for the day …
