"I can live for two months on a good compliment." ~ Mark Twain Some of my social media friends participate in a weekly blogging event called Thankful Thursday. This week I've decided to post my own Thankful Thursday. I'm thankful for the people in my life - family, friends, colleagues etc. - who compliment and... Continue Reading →

Please comment below and let me know what your favourite colour is... Continue Reading →
My roots are showing…
...in more ways than one. Anyone who colours their hair, whether by choice or necessity, can relate to that feeling when you look in the mirror and come face to face with those dreaded roots. It's time for a touch-up. Those are my hair roots, but what about my rural roots? We all have a... Continue Reading →
Wordless Wednesday: New Friends and Cupcakes
If you're a regular reader of this blog you've probably figured out by now that my Wordless Wednesdays are not really wordless. Guess I'm not really a wordless kind of girl.

Because we're so close to the U.S. border we get North Dakota radio and TV stations. Growing up we had FarmerVision, also known as Poor Man's... Continue Reading →
Hunk of Meat Monday: Lasagna

Wordless Wednesday: Sandals out, Boots in
I woke up to a light dusting of snow on my car this morning. There's no doubt winter is coming whether we like it or not. Forecasters are predicting a cold and snowy winter on the Prairies. Can't say I'm surprised. It's Manitoba, Canada after all. What do people expect? So of course the change... Continue Reading →
Entering the Mac world
I'm happy to report that I am writing this blog post on my brand spankin' new MacBook Pro. This day was a long time coming for me. I talked about making the switch from PC to Mac for months, if not years, and I finally made the move. Why now? Mainly because of sheer frustration with... Continue Reading →
How much did that bread cost you?
If you live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, or have visited lately, you've no doubt seen the New Lower Prices signs at Sobeys grocery stores. These bright orange arrows decorate the flyers and signs both inside and outside the stores. Sobeys is hoping the campaign will lure you into the store because, after all, who doesn't like lower...
