Here we are at the last week of ABC Friday. We zipped and zoomed, and made it from A to Zed. And now it's time to head to bed... Or maybe take a page from G-Girl's book and just pass out wherever. Zzzzzzzzz............ … [Read more...]

T is for table laid out with tasty treats. We did a little taste testing with some of the goodies hubby and I brought back from our trip to the Food Bloggers of Canada Conference last month.

N is for No, Nothing, Nada. {ABC Friday}
This is just to notify you all that I am not posting for ABC Friday this week. No, I am not. I am contributing nothing.

V is for VIA Rail
VIA Rail is my very favourite way to travel. I will not of my own volition take an airplane when train is a valid option. I love sitting by the window, watching the world go by, drinking a coffee and writing on my netbook (or more realistically based on my last few trips, chatting with a friend and fellow blogger). It's one of my favourite places to be. I took this photo … [Read more...]

P is for… Perfectly Pink!
I am not even going to get into my own mixed feelings towards the colour pink (think petulant and pessimistic). Nope, today it's all about Rainbow. She who would be perfectly happy covered head to toe in pink. She who is constantly pushing. Pushing her boundaries, pushing my buttons. Here she is in her pink backpack on a perfect spring day insisting that she lead the way to … [Read more...]
M is for… Maple Leaf, Mask and Mother
My mother made this maple leaf image in pastels. She didn't make it just for me, but just after I started this blog she gifted me with the original and gave me permission to use it for my logo. So this picture, I have all sorts of warm fuzzy feeling for it both because my mom made it, and because for over two years now it's represented me online in this grand adventure that is … [Read more...]

J is for… Jittery Journey to Joyous Java Juice {Caramel Mochaccino TASSIMO Recipe}
You may have noticed, I'm a bit of a coffee junky. And my favourite poison, when enjoying a jaunt to the local coffee shop is a nice rich chocolatey mocha. Yum. So of course when I got a TASSIMO (back over 2 years ago now), the very first order of business was trying to make a decent mocha. I tried mixing a hot chocolate T-Disc with an espresso T-disc. I tried adding … [Read more...]
I is for… Impatient
I is for impatience, which is what I feel. Impatient for spring, for the snow and the ice to just go away. From the Facebook updates and blog posts I read, it seems like the rest of Canada is covered in a magical winter wonderland, while I am living in a wet, dirty, land of cold and grey. No proper snow, just muck and ice. Hardly inspiring, it's … [Read more...]
H is for… HAIR HUGS
With four long haired family members, we've got a whole lot of hair going on. Care to imagine what my bathtub drain looks like?
