I’m going to miss the Zellers brand – I remember when the lowest price was the law and when I got my first Club Z points card. I always did my Christmas stocking stuffer shopping there because it was less crowded than Wal-Mart (which I can’t stand shopping in.) They sent me this video to [...]

April 3, 2012 8 Comments
These turkey sandwiches are a new favorite slow cooker recipe of ours.

Lettuce or spinach [...]

March 19, 2012 9 Comments
Last night I had the unfortunate pleasure of hanging out in the ER with My little H who had slipped on the stairs and gave her hand a good whack on the way down. It was one of those times when you wonder if you should go or not. She said it hurt but wasn’t [...]

I’d made a last minute lane change while coming to a stop at an Edmonton intersection and the puddle was unseen until our tire splooshed through it. We screamed, the water flew, the light turned green, [...]
