This is a really easy one. Be careful of course with the kettle… You can add almost any fruit to Jell-O but pineapple and, hmmm… I forget the other but they are listed on the box. We were making strawberry jelly and opted to add sliced bananas in ½ the batch and fruit cups (x2) [Read more]
It has been a long, complicated frustrated week but as usual, my children kept me focused and on getting back on my feet no matter what. I have had alot of difficulty sleeping and so the blog has suffered. I hope to catch up on posting the major events of the week this weekend but [Read more]
Emeraude’s first soccer games this week were a success J. She took part in her very first organized, team sport Tuesday & Thursday as a member of Team Canada in the Primary League.

Lloyd had to piggy-back me back up to the parking lot. He is so strong and I am always amazed at how easily he seems to carry me (I do weigh almost 130lbs!) as well as how willingly he does so. What a gentleman [Read more]
Notre jardinage continue de progresser tellement bien, Emeraude en est très fière (moi aussi d’abord). Les concombres fleurit un peu plus à tous les jours (des belles grosses fleures jaunes)… Je ne me rappelle plus si les concombres vont pousser ou il y a des fleures comme les haricots on [Read more]
So, I didn’t get around to bringing my van in to get fixed. This is a HUGE problem as the garage is closed today and we should be leaving first thing in the morning (or tonight would’ve really been best). I did get an offer from a friend to drive us which is really thoughtful! [Read more]
Had some spare time @ the hospital earlier and took advantage of it to make this video… [Read more]

It is so exciting that spring is finally here. It’s been a long, long winter and I think everyone in Manitouwadge is ready for some blue skies and warmer temps, I certainly was ready for the snow to melt. The lake still has ice on it but not for long according to most people’s [Read more]
