Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
When Online Labels partnered with me to sponsor this post, they asked me to come up with a fall-related creative idea, the first thing that popped to mind was pumpkin spice lattes. That’s how this indulgent skin-softening Pumpkin Spice Latte Sugar Scrub was born! First sign of Fall – Pumpkin Spice Lattes start popping up […]
The lazy days of summer have come and gone and it’s already pumpkin picking season! If you’re looking for some family-friendly fall fun, you don’t have to look very far. There’s so much right here in Southwest Ontario! Here are a few London area pumpkin patches you and your family will surely enjoy visiting! Kusterman’s […]
Can you believe it’s September already? Labor Day weekend is over and the kids are back in school and back to extra-curricular activities. This can make finding the time for family fun even more challenging! I’ll be honest. Sometimes our family time was simply spending some quiet down time together because we were just too […]
When you think of the holidays, what’s the first food you think of? Turkey? Shortbread? Candy canes? All of those hold true, but my first thought is always of cranberries.

Are you a Star Wars fan? We sure are in my family – well, at least most of us are. I still remember lining up to see the very first movie when it was released in theaters. And then, going back to see it again and again with all of my friends. It was showing […]
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 […]

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 […]
