This weekend, we will celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. In fact, all year Canadians have been and will be taking the opportunity to celebrate a big birthday for our great country. I’ve been taking time to reflect on what makes Canada so special. Others have been doing the same, exploring what makes our country great. People... Continue Reading →
I am a self-confessed bird nerd. I love to watch birds, marvel at their colours, their ingenuity, their beautiful songs, their ability to fly! One of my favourite aspects of spring is watching migrating birds return. The winter birds are soon joined by those who go south for the winter, as week after week, new... Continue Reading →
When I was younger, I am sure I scoffed at “older” people who talked about time passing quickly. After all, I couldn’t wait to go to high school. I couldn’t wait to turn 16 so I could drive. I couldn’t wait to be 18 to go to the bar. I couldn’t wait to be done... Continue Reading →

One of the best ways to fully enjoy life is to live in the present moment. This is not an easy task. There are always things to think about – lists for shopping, chores, planning for tomorrow. Or I look back on the past with regrets or sadness. I miss someone. I miss an aspect of... Continue Reading →
As fall weather turns cooler, and kids return to school, there’s nothing like the comfort food of a meat loaf that’s also easy to make. This recipe is easy to make in the morning, and then cover and put in the fridge to bake for supper. As an aside, why is it called meat loaf?... Continue Reading →
Summertime means campfires, and campfires mean hot dogs and beans. This summer I decided that homemade beans would be a treat over the old standard canned beans. While these can be made without ham, I wanted to experiment using a ham bone, since we enjoyed a bone-in shank of ham and had the bone left... Continue Reading →
