So this weekend a girl friend and I are planning on getting together and doing a movie day. We have a few movies lined up (including Becoming Jane (which I like even though I find most of Jane Austen’s books-turned-to-movies rather boring)) and we have plans to make chickpea curry for lunch and a homemade [...]

Bananas! These are a staple in my house. I have one or two every single day and I have not gotten tired of them yet. They are sweet, filling, smooth and yellow. Seriously, trump that! Canvas textures and paintbrushes! And that doesn’t include my knives collection. If only I knew how to paint with them [...]

A while ago I was raving about our reuse centre and all of the great crafting supplies we have gotten from there. We have gotten everything from sewing patterns to plaster to paper plates to envelopes for my home made cards to zippers to plastic egg cartons (which I use for mixing paint). And today I am [...]

I don’t have a lot to talk about since we have all been sick for three or four days now. That means a lot of time on the couch watching movies. My kids have all spent many hours sleeping on that couch which is why I have encouraged movie times. It gives them a great [...]

Productive trips to the library. Seriously though. Are there any other kind? I love the library. It often makes me sad though. I think of all of those works of creativity or philosophy or research sitting mostly unused in a city full of people who don’t appreciate them. We have become a generation of Internet users [...]

All in a Friday. Ha ha ha. I stayed up late last night doing dishes and laundry. With just a couple things to do today I was free to think up of all sorts of activities to do with my boys. Trey and I looked through one of his science books (a gift from a [...]
