Juice, again! The juicer is so easy to use…and so good for you! We were in the city a few days ago and I stopped by Planet Organic to grab some wheatgrass – our local grocery store doesn’t sell it. Boo! Okay, let’s get started on this yellow and green juice.

Photos: Thanksgiving 2013
Happy Thanksgiving!! Even though it was yesterday…we’re a little late. This was the first time we (or I, rather) attempted to take some family photos. Thanksgiving 2013 Setting up – Lily is supervising. The tripod was a gift from a very kind old man who we purchased some tools off of – I highly recommend a tripod if you’re evening thinking of using your camera’s self timer. First shots – not too bad. Happy everything is in focus! Second shot (well, each shot took 10…

Recipe: Pumpkin Spiced Bars
It’s that time of year again – fall. The leaves fall, the air gives you a chill, and everything pumpkin comes out to play.

Holiday Napkins
Thanksgiving is this weekend – at least in Canada! What a better time to buy some fun fabric and decorate your holiday table. Yesterday I found a new discount fabric store in Edmonton – and it’s huge! Score!! That’s where I found this fun wild fowl print. Perfect for Thanksgiving! Holiday Napkins So – a good sized napkin measures around 20×20. I get 4 napkins out of one meter (if it measures 45 inches wide). Be sure you’ve washed your fabric first! Set your serger…
