The other day, I found myself at home with 2 two year olds, one of which wasn't feeling so great due to possible ear infection, molar teething and/or a cold, and my 82 year old mom. My plan at the start of the day was to go grocery shopping but taking that motley crew...

We've all had one of those days where you stare aimlessly into your fridge and pantry, hoping to God that inspiration jumps out at you and strikes your fancy. This past Sunday, it was a miserable old day here - rain, drizzle, fog, 14 degrees Celsius, (approximately 57...

The really awesome thing about the weekend is that I get to turn off the alarm before going to bed and usually, wake up and get out of bed at my leisure. The not so awesome thing about the weekend is, at 51, my internal clock is preset to wake at 7 a.m.  regardless of...

As 2014 comes to a close, I decided to reflect on this past year. It's been a phenonmenal year for us, jam-packed with adventures, milestones and some pretty darn good eats! In June of 2014, this blog sprang to life and since that time, we've had over 10,000 page views...

The Christmas Season is upon us once again and in the midst of making your list and checking it twice, not to mention shopping, wrapping and posting, inevitably you have to figure out what sort of nibbles you want to have on hand for when guests either drop by unexpect...

Well, it's official folks: winter is here. There's no doubt that I don't have to tell the folks of Buffalo, New York that though. With an expected weekly snowfall amount of nearly 238cm, or almost 8 feet, I'm fairly certain that they're blatantly aware of the arrival...
