Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
We’re nearly at the start of a new year. You might have started thinking of resolutions to make. I’m not a big believer in New Year’s resolutions in the traditional sense of the concept. I find that often instead of helping us move forward (that is the goal, right?), instead, it can put us under […]
One of the things I have learned over the years of finding great bargains was to take note of what items to purchase when. If you know when to buy certain items, you can definitely save quite a bit of money. Obviously throughout the year, there will be items that are put on sale at […]
With three adults and a baby in the house, it sometimes feels like we’re doing laundry all the time! Financially, it can add up really quickly. Obviously, this means that I am always looking for tips for saving money on laundry. I want to take good care of our clothing and linens because I want […]
I might have mentioned before that cleaning isn’t exactly my favourite thing to do. I like for my house to be clean. On occasion, I find some satisfaction in getting some tasks done. But for the most part, I just wish it would all take care of itself so that I can make art or […]

True confession time: I am not much of a soup fan. Oh, a scrumptious French onion soup, all cheesy and gooey, is a nice starter course now and then. If we’re having grilled cheese, I love to have a small bowl of cream of tomato soup with it. It’s simply ideal for dunking! But, I […]
Inspired by one of my favorite blogs Brocante Home (who was in turn inspired by a feature in Harper’s Bazaar written by Diana Vreeland), Why Don’t You is a week’s worth of ideas for adding a little something special to your life. Simple ideas for lovely days! Pick and choose what sparks your interest and fits into your schedule. […]
Wooohoooo! The polar vortex seems to have come to an end and temperatures are rising. Okay, so it’s just barely over zero but considering it was nearly -40 at one point in the past week, I’ll take it! In other news, my little Moonpie seems to have decided that he’s going to make some big […]
