Planning a Low-Key, At-Home Birthday Party
I still cannot wrap my head around Maxwell turning 8 years old this week! For his birthday party this year, we’re throwing him a low-key, at-home party with his closest friends and family in an effort to save money. Jeremy is scheduled for surgery Monday morning for his knee, which could mean anywhere from 1 to 8 weeks off of work. This being right after Christmas, and Max’s birthday was a bit of a shock. But, when they call with an opening – you take it! Growing up, also having a January birthday, I remember having a lot of parties at home. We did sledding parties, dance parties, sleepover parties,…

Recharging Before the New Year
The week after Christmas and before you start working on all those New Year Resolutions, is the perfect time to relax, recharge, and reflect. I think this is the only week in the year when it’s not only perfectly acceptable, but encouraged to do nothing. Leading up to Christmas is a time of year filled with not only joy and family, but a lot of stress. Many feeling stressed financially, or through expectations, or maybe just the sheer busy-ness of the holiday season. Catch those elusive Zzz’sNot only are you not able to sleep as much as you’d like because, well, adulting. Whether you’re working full time or have kiddos…

Family Favourite Chocolate No-Bake Cookies | Recipe
For something a bit different, today I’m sharing with you my family’s favourite chocolate cookie recipe. These are super quick and easy to whip up! My mom used to make these for my brother and I all the time growing up, and I now make these for my family. The recipe is adapted from a 1988 church cookbook called Let’s Break Bread Together, which contains recipes from across Canada. The cookbook has seen better days and is falling apart, but the recipes inside are amazing! Chocolate Macaroons 1/2 cup margarine or butter2 cups white sugar1/2 cup milk Melt butter in large saucepan. Add milk and sugar. Bring to a bubbly…

A Week of Favourites
So, I thought every once in a while I’d throw together a few items that I’ve been loving for the past week and share it with you guys. So, let me know if you want me to continue to do this. Mascara: Too Faced Better Than Sex – I have a sample size of this mascara that I’ve been using all week. It provides the perfect amount of volume in my opinion. And I love the bristle wand, as opposed to a plastic one. I will definitely buy the full size when this is done. http://seph.me/1hTJqKX Lip Combo: Essence lip liner in 11 In The Nude, Cargo lip gloss in…
