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 [...]

My library had a box sale yesterday and so we loaded up the kids, drove downtown, and took home a green tub with about 50 books. All for $10! When we got home we had to find a place for all of these books though. So I reorganized my sewing room and voila! Here is our very own [...]

The theme around our house right now is space (outer space). We have a solar system on our computer desktop, we also have one hanging in our entrance. We have a Solar system on a poster in the living room above our globe. We also have a pile of books on various planets that we [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been a little busier these days so I haven’t posted in a a couple of days. The first thing I want to talk about is the Olympics. Unlike L, I don’t care for it much. I am just not into it I guess. But I never thought the day would come where the Olympics [...]

The Christmas stockings have really got me annoyed. I don’t want to spend a fortune but I also don’t want to fill them with candy or useless junk. And Anna doesn’t really have many interests. So I ended up getting her some socks and these: The book has five different Dr. Seuss stories. The A [...]

And I am not the only one. My hubby and my kids also love their local library. The kids love playing in the library. It’s more of a social function to them than it is about the books but still… Here are some real gems that I picked up today: Gosh! I just love that [...]

Why am I bouncing in my chair with glee? Because I bought my very own copy of Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. The recipes look so delicious that they kept me up last night! OK, not really but they certainly look so delicious that I am getting anxious to get my hands on some ingredients that [...]
