Welcome to my first PJ video. Saying ‘good morning to you’ before I’ve even had my tea! Such enthusiasm… Hoping you will enter the ‘Take Back Your Weekend’ contest and win an overnight getaway where you can just hang out in your PJs. (This is my first homemade Dishing video – no makeup, no [...]
Getting my sticky fingers on cookbooks is one of life’s simple pleasures that just never gets old. The cookbooks do, however, and they get sticky too. Ew, I know. But somehow I just don’t mind. Browsing through an old recipe book and coming across a splattered, well-thumbed page is heartwarming. It’s like the former owner, [...]

An ambition of my middle age, and one I am sure will take me well into old age, is to at least keep up! I [...]
Deeply enjoying my summer holidays with my hubby in the Comox Valley. Sun, sea, trees and an abundance of fresh food at our fingertips. Time with old friends, family and one another. Here are a few pictures and I will be back with my regular weekely blog in a few days. Picnic spot at Kitty Coleman [...]
