I love honey, always have. It was the first sandwich I was able to make all by myself and I still remember the sense of accomplishment, of independence, of conquering the edges of the grown-up world that previously had been out of my reach. I smeared the thick honey on […]
Moose sent me an email the other day claiming that men are deep thinkers and supported that argument with the hypothesis that the pain of childbirth did not hold a candle to the male equivalent of being kicked in the groin. A good argument, but since he has never given […]

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Canada Day! The weather was amazing! I went to Mine Centre for a little Bliss Fishing. Most times I like to brag about catching most of the fish but this time it wasn’t the case. I started with a broken line, then my boyfriend […]
