Saturday Morning Breastfeeding Comic

by heather

I follow a lot of online comics, one of them being “Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.”  Before you go scampering over to check it out, be warned — the topics are usually very offensive.  Part of the humour is in the dark and twisted switcheroos on dark and twisted situations.  Adultery and murder are commonplace, as [...]

I Burned My Babies!

by heather

My baby plants, that is. After nearly two months of care and concern and pampering, the time had come for the hardening off.  Our last frost date is next week and we’ve been having beautiful weather, so it seemed good. I have two flats of beautiful tomato seedlings, 3 varieties, some heirloom, grown from seed. [...]

Cookies!

by heather

Here are some cookies I made the other day.  Don’t they look scrumptious? On the lower racks are double-chocolate chip cookies and they just turned out divine.  On the upper rack there’s a few of my own variation on “Crunchy Munchy Honey Cakes”, made with honey and granola and coconut.  Mmmm…         [...]

Let Them Eat Cookie Dough!

by heather

I’m a big fan of Lenore Skenazy over at Free Range Kids.  In fact, about a week ago, my husband encountered the term “Free Range Kids” somewhere (unrelated) and mentioned it to me, how cool he thought the idea was.  I was so excited to tell him about Lenore’s website and book and he was [...]

Busy, Busy Day Part III: Vermiculite!

by heather

Today was indeed a busy day.  Along with Flipper’s schoolwork and Pomme’s cutest moments, I also had… you know… a life.  Or trying to have one, anyway. I got a phone call for another accompanying job.  I made dinner (okay, it was frozen chicken strips and nuked potatoes, but still…) .  And I planned my [...]

Seeds for the Garden

by heather

I’ve spent a good part of this evening making up a spreadsheet of my garden plans for this summer.  By golly, I’m going to be organized, and keep track of what gets planted when and harvested and whether a second planting can be done and rotating the crops and what needs to be started indoors… [...]

Happy Pi Day!

by heather

Of course, today was Pi Day, or 3.14 on the calendar.  As a certified math geek, I think this is just an amazing idea. Flipper has been asking about pi quite a bit recently… he wanted to know what it was, what it meant, and he wanted to know how far I had it memorized.  [...]

Coffee Coffee Coffee Coffee Coffee

by heather

I am NOT a coffee addict. Am not. But I dare say I might become one. I do enjoy a good cup of coffee, but caffeine makes me edgy and gives me heart flutters.  I have been known to indulge in a white chocolate mocha at Second Cup, or a French Vanilla at Tim Horton’s… [...]

Just Another Day

by heather

I’m trying to sit down and write a post describing our day… but frankly, it just wasn’t interesting enough.  We got up late, Flipper did some workbooks, Pomme ran around naked, the cousins came over and they all played outside in the snow all afternoon… I scrounged together whatever time I could to finish my [...]

Review: Omni Plastic Storage Boxes

by heather

I love these Omni plastic storage boxes by KIS. Okay, I know what you’re thinking.   PLASTIC?  Isn’t this blog eco-friendly? Well, yeah.  We try to be.  But we still need to store things, and as wonderful as it would be to have all our storage in vintage wooden trunks, bamboo baskets and stainless steel Bento [...]
