Project: Christmas Recap
Christmas recap – this is a little throwback to some of the recipes and projects I’ve done in the past. This year, I’m taking the holidays a little slower and not focused so much on making things, but rather spending time with my husband and my two dear puppies who most likely won’t be around too much longer. My heart is full and things are great! Christmas Recap Just because I’m slowing down, however, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a few favourites, right? In 2013…

Project: Junk Drawer
Junk Drawer Getting it organized for less than 10$. Total score. This project has been on my to-do list for quite some time and I’m happy to finally cross it off. First, a picture of the completely messy drawer. Everything just shoved in there with no home – all feeling lost. I wanted some containers to keep things in place and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money, so I hit up the dollar store. What I did, however, was take measurements of…

Projects: Halloween Treats
Halloween Treats Yes. It’s Halloween – the holiday of candy – tomorrow. Are you ready? We are. You know I like to make big treats for the kiddos in our neighbourhood. There aren’t that many houses on the block and, well, the driveway is long. So they should get a special treat. I never know how many trick-or-treaters we’re going to get. In 2012, our first year, I was managing a bar and I totally forgot the next day was Halloween. So I stopped at…

DIY: West Elm Tree Stump Side Table
DIY West Elm Tree Stump Side Table Yes, you can make this yourself! About 4 months ago I had the Best Birthday and Bryce and I built a tree stump side tables or stools for our living room. The inspiration came from living in a cedar home and loving wood – and having a few down trees in the yard that were dry and ready for a project. Now, why would you want to order this stump from West Elm? I can see that you…

Project: Turing 30
Turning 30 – that’s right, my husband turns 30 today! We are going to celebrate in style. This is the third time we will spend his birthday on the road, and the second time our destination is my family in Ontario. This guy is awesome. He’s not high maintenance in that he doesn’t need a special day all about him – he wants to just spend it with me. His kindness, however, shouldn’t go without a little celebration and special attention, right? So…what I’ve come…

Project: Best Birthday
Best birthday – my birthday was on Wednesday and it was the best! Why? First up, my husband didn’t make me wait to open my gift. It was so awesome. Best Birthday Next up – the decision chart. I got to pick what to do. So rad. I made one modification – I didn’t want alone time while Bryce went to get Mexican food…we went together. My Kitchenaid 14 cup architect food processor was the perfect gift. Again, so rad. Okay. Time for chainsaw lessons.…
