We awoke on this first day of Spring to what might (or might not) be the last snow of Winter. There’s not much, but it sure is pretty. It’s also my anniversary! Twelve years of wedded adventure to my handsome, smart & funny Kiwi. In honour of our anniversary, I’ve included a wedding picture. And … More Challenge #6 Outfit #17
When I put on yesterday’s outfit, my husband said, “It’s a bit cold for shorts isn’t it?” Well, I’ve always been of the belief that shorts with tights are warmer than a dress or skirt with tights & no one seems to scoff at skirts & tights on cold days! At least the brisk breeze … More Challenge #6 Outfit #16
I love the look of overlay diffusion & this tutorial was great in that it shows how to keep details that might otherwise get blended away. It was an easy tutorial with a lot of impact. Here is my original photo: And here is the altered image: For details of this challenge, click here.
Simple outfit today. Comfortable. I will take some time to rave about my shoes. I love them! They are cute, a bit edgy looking, they add some height & they are comfortable enough to wear all day. I found a pair of them at Ross – they are a grey/green color & I loved them … More Challenge #6 Outfit #15
We continued our St Patrick’s Day celebrations last night. I did a beef roast in the crock pot, roast vegetables and sautéed cabbage. We had a friend over for dinner & sadly in getting everything ready, I forgot to take photos. Sigh. For details of this challenge, click here.
We always have a St Patrick’s Day meal with my parents, but we don’t always get together on St Patrick’s Day. So Mom made this amazing meal earlier this week and I had to capture it on film. We’re having a St Patrick’s Day meal at my house tonight, so I’ll let you know about … More Challenge #4 St Patrick's Day Part 1
I’m quite happy with my outfit today. I’m wearing a shawl that I’ve had in my closet for ages, but haven’t worn – I wish I had sooner – it’s lovely & comfortable & warm. I’m also very happy that I took my photos outside today. I discovered that I have no green clothes! This … More Challenge #6 Outfit #14
So this isn’t entirely a new recipe, I’ve actually made it at least four or five other times, but I can’t stop raving about it, so I figured it deserved a space on the blog. I got this recipe from my sister, I’m not sure where she got it. I had it several times at … More Challenge #3 Mexican Meatball Soup
The kitchen counter closest to the garage door, where we all come in the house is a notorious “drop zone”. It’s a catch-all for all the bits & pieces, the flotsam of family life. Things that need to be repaired, things that need to be taken up stairs or out to the garage, all the little … More Styling My Home One Space at a Time: Kitchen Counter
We tried this recipe last night. It was pretty good. Definitely needed more seasoning than they suggest. Cooked nicely though & stayed juicy. Not necessarily a keeper though – just a bit bland. For details of this challenge, click here.
