Great Website!

Mennonite Girls Can Cook! This website is great! I have recently had to change my family's diet for health reasons and part of that was to get rid of sugar and processed flour. This website has a whole section of our favorite foods (even mennonite) which have been adapted to be gluten-free. Gotta Love it!

Gearing up for Christmas

There is so much to do and so little time left. There is only just over a month left before Christmas, and I usually am done my Christmas shopping by now. I have decided to make some of the gifts this year, to ease the financial strain. I wasn't taking into account how much extra time it would take. So, here I am wondering if I will get it all done in time. Here it goes...

Long time, No talk.

Sorry, it has been a while since I have posted.
September is a busy month. I have a son in grade 2 and a son starting kindergarten. So, they were excited to get ready for school. We had to do a lot of shopping for clothes, shoes and school supplies. This takes a lot of time and money. Whew!
So, hopefully, now that school is on its way, I will have a little more time for myself.
