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…

Photos: Sweet Potato Dog Treats
Sweet potato dog treats! Yes – especially for this princess birthday. Miss Bella (or as I mostly call her – Bella-rama) turned 11 yesterday. She’s had some close calls over the last couple of years, so it’s quite special that she’s still with us and in relatively good health. Dogs are wonderful – so cuddly and just fun to hang out with. This little recipe is easy. Recipe 1 – buy sweet potatoes 2 – slice them thinly 3 – bake at 250 degrees for…

Photos: Michigan Hike
Michigan Hike It’s that time of year – time to hike. The fall colours are blooming and the weather is cool enough that you won’t over heat. It’s perfect. A few weeks ago we were travelling to Ontario for my brother’s wedding, which was so great, and we drove through the American way. We spent one night in North Dakota and the other night in Michigan. We woke up early after our second night and decided to go for a hike for a couple of…

Noah’s Ark Waterpark What a fun place to spend a day (or two). When I was little we went to Noah’s Ark on vacation. I’ll never forget constantly asking if my brother, who’s name is Noah, could get in for free because of his name. I was so proud of him and thought he should be rewarded! The sun was out, the day was 32 degrees C or 90 degrees F, and it was September 1. Thank goodness for the heatwave that moved in to…

Photos: Milwaukee Zoo
Milwaukee Zoo Milwaukee Zoo. What a place. We’ve been to a few zoos – the Dallas Zoo, the LA Zoo and then some animal places in Las Vegas. This zoo is great. Different from other zoos, yet still just as fun. One of the best parts about this zoo – the cost is only 14.95$ a person. What? So cheap. Okay – being from Canada, I just loved these lazy grizzly bears. Not only were they adorable, but their claws – look how big they…

Photos: Woof Wednesday

Woof Wednesday These ones are from the post two dogs and a wedding dress. These ones are from a snow day a few years ago. How about a pet project? Paw print art! Or, maybe you want to make them a summer treat. Dog treats are the best. Try these frozen dog treats today…

Photos: Las Vegas Neon
On our recent and most likely our last trip to Las Vegas for awhile (time to visit other cities!) we toured some vintage neon. Below you’ll find some beautiful, old and iconic neon signs. Enjoy! The tour of the Neon Boneyard Park is so worth the visit. The tour and the stories are so awesome – these pictures don’t clearly convey the vastness of it all. Hearing all the interesting background stories on the photos above is worth the visit. Give yourself a couple of…
