Strawberry Lemonade Squares #paleo

May 15, 2013 By Heather 4 Comments

I’m an afternoon snacker.  I like a little something in the afternoon – usually a cup of coffee or tea and normally I’d have a cookie or scone or other treat with it.  Except now that I’m not having sugary flour based things that pretty much wipes out all of the afternoon treat options.  I’d had enough!  I wanted something yummy to have with my tea.  It’s just not right to suffer this way! Ok, that’s a bit dramatic I {Read More}

Generations Of Hope

May 11, 2013 By Heather 8 Comments

This is my wrap up post regarding Generations of Hope and Infertility Awareness. I’ve enjoyed writing these and sharing stories of parenting and motherhood from folks who struggled to get there. It makes me so very thankful for this special family I have in my life. I’ll ask you one last time to consider signing the petition for provincial funding of IVF treatments. Before you make up your mind, watch this. Please, it doesn’t take long. If you’ve missed the {Read More}

How to Know if You Should Paint or Refinish – A Checklist

I scored a deal on a dresser in a little thrift shop here in town this week.  I got super excited about it because I only paid $35 for the dresser AND the mirror.  That’s practically free!  We’ve been doing some decorating in my daughter’s room and she would love a dresser with a mirror (she doesn’t have a mirror right now.)  Her furniture is white and I thought this dresser would be so so so cute with a coat {Read More}

Easy DIY Table Center Piece with Candles – Make it in Under 10 min

Easter came around and we were hosting dinner.  In pure Heather fashion, I realize at the very last minute that I didn’t have anything for a table center piece.   I was wishing I’d picked up some pretty tulips or something equally as fresh in feel.  Instead, I took a quick look around and laid my eyes on the colored Easter Eggs we dyed just the night before and voila, this easy to make DIY table center piece with candles {Read More}

Peace is in the Now

Over the last few days I’ve carried a lot of stress.  There are many things contributing to it, the largest of which is my husband.  No, it’s not like that.  See he’s come down with a case of pneumonia, the diagnosis of which was pretty scary.  He was hooked up to oxygen with grey lips and was in a lot of pain.  That seems to be on the mend now – slowly.  I also went for a few tests for {Read More}

Thomas is Here This Weekend at Heritage Park

This weekend is your last chance to catch Thomas the Train before he chugs off to his next destination.  Even if you haven’t bought advanced tickets you can still go and buy tickets at the door.  There will be a limited number of ride tickets so if your train enthusiast wants to ride the rails you need to get there early.  Regular admission (without ride) still gets you access to loads of Thomas themed stuff including face painting, music shows, {Read More}
