New Puppy
Gosh, it’s been so long since I last posted! I need to get better at this since its like a journal and goodness knows I seem to have alot to talk about. Had to post a pic of the new puppy, Penelope. She is a little different then our other dogs – still a miniature [...]
Hurricane Earl
My family and I live on the East Coast of Nova Scotia Canada, so we are watching the track of Hurricane Earl very closely. The thought of a hurricane doesn’t bother me at all – I love storms – but the potential damage of a category 1 or 2 hurricane can be huge unfortunately. Not [...]
Confections of a Closet Master Baker – Gesine Bullock-Prado
With all the recent press on Sandra Bullock and her lyin’ cheatin’ cold dead beatin’, two time, double dealin’, mean mistreatin’ lovin’ heart (thank you Patti Loveless) of a husband Jesse James (did I say that he was an ass?), Sandra’s sister Gesine Bullock-Prado has come up in the press too with her lovely blog [...]
My How They Grow
My oldest daughter Michaela is 12 today and I don’t know where the time went! She is on the brink of teenagedom – I see peeks of that already – and I pray she is not going to be a teenager like I was. My mom always told me that I was horrid between 12-18 [...]
I LOVE Sony – Part Two
My new Sony VAIO VPC-EB11 laptop is my most favourite thing these days – I have absolutely no regrets that I bought it. We have two desktop computers in the house and hubby did have a laptop but it went kaput. He is a handy guy so he can probably fix it, but in the [...]
I LOVE Sony – Part One
Recently we added some more electronics to our household (and we have lots already) but the two Sony products we added recently are wonderful. The first is a 46″ Sony Bravia LCD Digital Colour TV – Model KDL-46EX500, one of Sony’s newer models (the second I will tell you about in Part Two). This is [...]
The Cow, the Psycho and Whats His Name
In the world today it’s common to have exes. When you have kids with those exes, complications are usually part of the picture. In our family, we have three exes and I call them The Cow, The Psycho and Whats His Name. As hubby and I married at age 38, later in life than many [...]
The Wiener Mutts
We have two Miniature Dachshunds – Sophie and Baby – the furkids in our house, just a part of the family like our 4 human kids. I think anyone who has dogs probably feels the same way about their four legged friends. Maybe people with cats feel the same too but as I am not [...]
I am Blessed
A couple of weeks ago I received the most wonderful gift in the mail. I shed many tears – of joy, sadness and awe – as I opened it. One of my mom’s best friends, Debbie, had hand made matching flannel nighties for my two girls. This was an amazing gift for Debbie to give [...]
The Camcorder
Just before the baby was born in November, hubby and I decided to buy a handheld video recorder to record the milestones of all our kids, especially the new baby. I am not a techie whiz like hubby is so I let him do the figuring out of which one we would buy. He gets [...]
