Well winter is officially here in chilly Saskatchewan. Big thumbs down. If I’m being honest, we’ve been fortunate to have a mild autumn, aside from a bit of early snow in October that melted quickly. To say that winter took us by surprise is kind of silly since it is the middle of November already. […]

Banana Bread {gluten free, dairy free, vegan option}
I can’t believe I haven’t shared my basic banana bread recipe before! I have a recipe for nutty banana muffins, banana lime cake, and I shared someone else’s chocolate chip banana bread recipe. But mine is simple and basic and so delicious. Why isn’t it here already?! What an oversight! The great thing about having such […]
Quick & Thrifty: Beef & Broccoli
Fresh veggies which are both affordable and decent quality can be hard to come by in the dead of our Canadian winters. Thankfully, a real life-saver has been the pre-cut packaged broccoli I find at Costco. For just under $5 for a large package, we can get easily three to four side dishes for our family […]

Growing Out The Grey Update
I haven’t done an official update since I originally posted about growing out my coloured hair to my natural grey – or whatever was hidden under all that colour. It’s been 14 months since I last coloured my hair. Here’s a picture of what it looked like last July or August, about 7 or 8 […]
Things I Love on Pinterest Right Now
Goodness sake Pinterest is probably my second favorite thing to waste time on these days. Instagram is still my #1 love. But Pinterest is great for when I’ve already seen what I can see on Instagram and I’m bored/lazy/need distracting. Pinterest is literally never ending. I’ll never see everything there is to see on Pinterest […]
180° and a new view
I have this other draft post saved (with an accompanying recipe) that I’ve been meaning to publish but keep hesitating. Why? I guess, because I’m afraid of the keyboard warriors and the trolls out there. I should count myself rather fortunate that I’ve only ever dealt with maybe a handful (as in, I could count […]

{garden} Come On Spring!
My garden is going to be totally delayed. I’ve ordered seeds and they’re waiting patiently in their packets. The thing is, I won’t be able to plant until the last week of May now because it’s still too cold to start now and I’ll be away in the middle of the month. I suspect everyone in my neck of the woods will be planting late.
Getting Dirty: Chronicles of A Rookie Gardener
I go through phases of thinking I’d be a good gardener. I’m even sure I mentioned it here. This time though I have real motivation for it. The CSA program we were looking forward to buying into again this year has been cancelled. I nearly cried when I got the news. I loved our CSA […]

{review & giveaway} Snappi Baby Cloth Diaper Fasteners
We use cloth diapers on Jonas almost exclusively. If you want to read more about how we cloth diaper and the various diapers we have used so far, you can check out this post. In that post I touched briefly on how we used Snappi diaper fasteners to secure our prefold diapers on the babe before putting on […]
#makeclothmainstream
When I first found out I was pregnant I had some pretty solid ideas about what I saw for myself as a parent, right down to how I diaper my baby. Cloth diapering was not one of the things I thought I would ever do. For a lot of reasons, mostly because, poop is yucky. […]
