Living Creatively, Living the Dream
I have not, in any way, met my dreams and goals for how I THOUGHT my fiftieth year would look like. And I can honestly say, I’ve been a bit disappointed with myself. HOWEVER, rather than talk about all the Continue reading You can have your cake and eat it too!
In a little turquoise house on the water’s edge…I laughed until I completely blew a gasket! Literally…in fact, it still hurts if I cough, sneeze, or roll over in bed the wrong way! Myself, Suzi Fevens from Confessions of a Continue reading Four #Gifted Nova Scotia Bloggers…
Growing up I tried every sport you could think of… Soccer came to an end after a number of balls flying towards my head scared me away. Swimming came to an end after I decided to stop listening to the Continue reading To the sport that gave me everything…
It was an incredibly chilly day just before the holidays, when I was home sick with shingles, miserable, and completely out of groceries…when my son headed out the door to run a few errands for me…a large list in hand Continue reading What do you do when your battery’s dead?!
When I left the doctors office a few weeks ago, with a diagnosis of Shingles and an order to go on bed rest…he commented that I had to be really careful since I had the immune system of a baby. What Continue reading Who are you getting the flu shot for? {Plus a GIVEAWAY!}
I recall the phone call like it was yesterday. It was 1999. My mother and father were away for a conference with my father’s work, standing in the happy crowds watching the fireworks over the water at Disney’s Epcot…when my Continue reading Why I Choose to Get the Flu Shot (plus a giveaway!)
It’s time to start decorating, shopping, cooking and baking as I anxiously count down the days until my two oldest arrive home for the holidays! IT’S GOING TO BE AN AWESOME CHRISTMAS…I JUST KNOW IT! But, before I get ahead Continue reading Black Friday Holiday Decor Deals to Start the Season Off RIGHT!
With the new school year underway, I’ve been slowly making my way back into the kitchen to prep a few meals as we’re heading back into our regular routines. For me…the kitchen is a challenge. Besides not totally enjoying the Continue reading Making Mealtimes Easier (and Healthier) with the President’s Choice Blue Menu #BlueYourMenu
Just because I have a prettier kitchen this week than I had a few weeks ago, does not, in any way, suggest that I’m going to be able to cook better! In fact, quite the opposite. It’s possible that I’m Continue reading Kitchen Makeover…will this make me a better cook?
What’s that saying, in like a lion…out like a lamb?! I’m waiting for the lamb part since March most definitely came in like a lion. The first two weeks of March have been filled with a ton of work and very Continue reading Lucky Dog…Lucky Me
When my oldest was around three, she placed a sign in the front window for anyone walking by, that said, “Will you Please be My Friend.” To be fair, I was a young mom and none of my friends had Continue reading Will you please be my friend…
I’m so behind on my reading it’s not even funny. There was a time, I knew everything on the best seller lists and kept up to date on every literary masterpiece…paying special attention to the Canadian authors. But, this last Continue reading Between the Pages…
You guys are AWESOME! Sometimes…I don’t think you’re paying attention. I throw out a question or comment on social media and you can almost hear a pin drop. (Here’s the sound of a pin dropping.) Point is…nothing…nada…zip…zilch! I may get Continue reading CHEESE!
I swear one of these days my house is going to collapse into the ant colony it’s been built upon. Little ants will take over, carry me off to their leader where they’ll pay me back for the years of Continue reading Air Raid Siren…
With tomorrow’s impending “weather bomb” and the multiple comparison’s of it being somewhat like 2004’s “White Juan,” I hauled out my old diary. (And yes, prior to blogging I kept a diary…multiple books filled with one story after the next.) Continue reading Weather Bomb…
The Tall Blonde absolutely devoured every book she could get her hands on, Spiderman loved the bookstores strictly for the Thomas the Tank Engine toys and Bones…well…if I’m to be totally honest I may as well come right out with Continue reading Books and toys…and raising child #3…
From anything I can recall over the last 22 years, The Tall Blonde has not once…not a single time…taken a nail to a piece of wood, a screw to a wall of gyprock, or a brush to a can of Continue reading Building a home…
I don’t watch a lot of TV. I’m still a die hard Greys Anatomy lover…and adore Oprah’s Super Soul Sundays. I turn the TV on when I go to bed at night…search desperately for a show not knowing any of Continue reading Yo!
I joined Facebook on April 17th, 2007. While at the time it was full of teens and college students…I jumped on board to have some idea of what The Tall Blonde was up to. She was 14 and to be Continue reading 10 years of Facebook…
With the holidays behind us, I’m left reflecting on a couple of things like…why do we only have turkey a few times a year? What makes some people choose a star to put on top of their tree and others Continue reading Game on…
