Save $30.00 By Giving Yourself an Outdoor Mani/Pedi!
The way I look at it, giving yourself a home mani-pedi will save you about $30.00! (I’m a good tipper, so for me a visit to the nail salon can cost even more.) If you pick up a nice glow from the sun, you’re saving $20.00 for a tanning or spray tanning session. If your child can be entertained outside by bubbles and lawn toys, you’ve just pocketed another $20.00 for child care! No need to pay a nanny or babysitter while you go and get your nails did… you can just hang out with your child while you both get some quality time outdoors.* It’s a win-win situation. The total money saved according to my calculations is $70.00!… Continue Reading

Time to Just Be
Back to my happy place. My sister is a magical creature (a diva in the vocal sense, not the self-involved sense) who regularly charms the karaoke room and has actually sang with a band on more than one occasion. If she lived in the town where she’d sang with the band, she’d probably be their regular vocalist. I can carry a tune, and my voice is decent, I guess, but I’ve always had a problem with projecting/ being heard when there are other singers/ musicians in the room. But our plan is me doing the guitar & backup vocals and her singing lead. She thinks we’ll be famous- I don’t care. I’m in it for love of music and for fun. Oh yes. One more thing. I only know how to play one song. I never expected it, but my sister Melody is my #1 fan.… Continue Reading

A Simple Salad and Some Smoothies
Last night I made a salad in a big bowl for the whole family, with organic baby greens and green curly leaf lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, a little cilantro, garbanzo beans, pan-toasted walnuts, australian boxing cheese (sweet, nutty and a little fruity), parmesan cheese, topped with ranch dressing (we wanted simple and quick so we… Continue Reading

Delving Into Salads for Digestive Health
So… I’ve been playing around with salads. (Not like that- at least, as far as you know.) Let me rephrase that. Lately I’ve been experimenting with different components in my home-concocted salads that I haven’t tried before. Last week I tried adding rutabaga, (a turnip-like vegetable that is a bit firmer and sweeter than its peppery cousin.) This week it was bok choy and raw beets.… Continue Reading

Thanks Stephy! I love your blog! I’ve got to get some of that dressing. Cherries smashed into it? One word: YUM!

I loved this post! I am CONSTANTLY looking for healthy, yet cost-effective meals.
My favourite salad is one that can only be made well in the summer…but I’ll share my recipe!
3 oz diced chicken
1 cup Romaine (yes, I know Romaine is about as nutritionally void as Iceberg, but it really IS my favourite for this salad)
3 sliced strawberries
8 cucumber slices
2 tbsp crumbled feta (I vastly prefer French feta, but Greek is good, too)
1 tbsp sunflower seeds
2 tbsp strawberry vinaigratteWishbone used to make a KILLER berry salad dressing, but discontinued it. Now, I take Ken’s fat free raspberry pecan dressing and crush some frozen and thawed strwberries, blueberries and cherries in it. It’s pretty good that way! Someday I will develop my own berry vinaigrette, but for now, this will do.
Anyway, this salad is phenomenal, but the strawberries have to be fresh in the salad, so summertime is the only time to do it.

Throwing Bubbles = Blogging?
I dedicate to you this video of our 2-year-old Gryphon and our 7-year-old Z-Man “blowing” bubbles. Actually, it’s more accurate to say, throwing bubbles. Which, now that I think about it, is kind of like the 2-year-old’s answer to blogging.… Continue Reading

I just love the fact that even though his younger brother is kind of hogging the bubble wand, my sweet and patient Z-man just smiles patiently through the injustice and lets his baby bro play with it. What a good big brother he is.

You’re welcome to interpret the theme in any way that you wish as it is relevant to where you live but I’m anticipating to potentially see some wildlife shots, landscapes, pics from backyards, perhaps some macro shots of flowers and insects…
