We turned on our outdoor tree lights last night and guess what?  it started snowing and we had quite a bit that came down last night.  Winter is here – that’s for sure – but that’s nothing unusual – and this year – oil is going to be more expensive as the power company had [...]

So we’ve started on our Christmas shopping last week – and one of the things I saw and thinking of buying is  watch – for the spouse.  Why?  it was the only thing he had been eying on for months now – and I’ve seen his eye twinkle every time we passed by the watch [...]

More dressing up for christmas around the house during the weekend.  We found some really good buys at Canadian Tire and I of course went crazy! I’m waiting for the 50% sale nearing Christmas to get more stuff.

As usual – this Christmas – we will be doing a lot of entertaining – and the baking [...]

We went to visit my daughter this weekend at the university she is currently in.  We also brought with us a special christmas tree for her dorm and helped her decorated it – you see this Christmas – she is spending time at the campus instead of coming back as she has a paper to [...]

Remembrance Day is a huge deal at our home – because our extended family are in the army and some are also veterans.  My kids’ godfather is still in Iraq – serving the country, so to prepare for Remembrance day – we decorated our home with some ideas found on the internet.  Nothing spectacular – [...]

Deers are practically vegetarian – if I [...]

Halloween is over and it’s that time of the year to prepare for Christmas dinner and parties for the office.  We always have the entire family out on Christmas day and on Boxing day the entire office.  I buy matouk linens because they are the best when quality is concern.  You see – I only [...]

We have been helping the in-laws to clean up their green house this fall and spent a few days doing it – finally the green house looked decent for the winter.  They are going to put in some heaters for the tomatoes and other veggies that they grow in there during the winter.   But the [...]

In our family, we try to exercise together everyday – we also grow our own tomatoes in our garden and garlic and coriander in our kitchen.  Whenever I see an old couple – walking unsteadily – I tell myself – if we could do something now – to prevent ourselves from being so weak when [...]

We love the fall colors and more outdoors activities that we can do as a family.  It’s great that we all have our own ipods – that way we can either go on a bike ride on our own or go as a family.   It was definitely a good investment, even the youngest have her [...]
