Hello my name is Heather and my mind has been blown. A bit of background: Nestle has been wooing mom bloggers. It makes sense ~ Nestle makes formula which they would like to sell to moms. There are many moms who love the Nestle brand and many who don’t. There is a point being made that Nestle goes against the [...]
The ladybugs have been coming inside. It’s a sure sign that summer is over and winter is about to arrive. The tiny beetles I’ve seen crawling across the table or climbing up the wall are a darker orange than the one pictured here and they are innocently looking for a place to hide from the cold and the frost that [...]
This blogging life? It’s a glam saga let me tell you. Some time ago I received an invite to a Little Burgundy store opening here in Calgary. I was so excited! I’d never been invited to an event before. And there would be other bloggers there, and I was going to get out of the house without a two year [...]
Hubby always jokes about why he keeps me around. I’m not very domesticated and host great disdain for things like laundry, dishes, cooking…..you know, wifey things. But it goes both ways and today I have evidence. I put up with a lot from him too. Case. In. Point. For those who don’t recognize this right away, it’s a screen shot [...]

It’s funny, how often, the one thing you try and steer yourself away from is the thing you always return back to. For me it’s pink. Growing up, I wasn’t much of a pink fan. You could even say I hated it. The [...]
Swan Moment by Laurel Garver A flash of blue catches my eye. Dad’s terry robe. And Dad. He’s by the front door, straightening frames. He frowns, probably deciding whether to swap some photos. When he gets to the fifth row, he turns and motions to me. Come. My hands shake so badly I drop my ugly funeral dress. He’s still [...]
Like many bloggers I use a utility to track my web traffic. It gives me some insight as to where my visitors are coming from and what key words they use when searching the all powerful Google for a creative mom blog like this one. These key words are often quite humorous. This? This takes the cake. I’m afraid these [...]

Well, a lot has gone on around here lately! I’ve re-arranged a few things and now I’m working on the colors and graphics. You might think “is she color blind?” because up to now, I’m not doing a very good job of it. I’m being foiled by a technicality. The monitor on my laptop seems to vary in display depending [...]
