irrational behaviour



Why does a rational 34 year old woman dream of owning a snowblower??? There are so many other wonderful things to wish for: diamonds, going to a beach, curtains....but no this is all I think about. My snow shovel broke and we have had non stop snow this winter! One day....one day....

my plan for a sane week

So I just mashed up a package of malteasers (choc covered malt balls) and added them to a mug of stratiatella (choc chip) ice cream and added a little milk to make it into a shake. It was delicious (I hid from my children). My husband is going to be gone all week so I plan to make a few more of these for myself this week...food makes me happy! Have a good week!

A Little Blog Fun!

The deal:The first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me for you! It will be my choice and made especially for you. Just so we’re on the same page, here are the details: No guarantees you will feel absolute true love, but possibly happiness, fervor, or chocolate. What I create will be just for you. It will be done sometime this year. You have no clue what it will be… cookies, a photograph, a piece of homemade jewelry. It may be some other random thing I am capable of making or doing that would be enjoyable to you! I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you! That’s for sure. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.
The fine print (which is actually the same size, but whatever): You must re-post this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog. When you get your lovely homemade goods from me, post a picture on your blog so I know my love arrived without a hitch.
(A couple of reasons I like this: 1) I have an entire year to do it, and 2) I can do something extremely strange if I want. Cool.)
I got this from my friend Amy's blog. I thought it could end up being really fun, plus give me a chance to use my imagination a bit more. Who wants to play?

weekend sledding at elm





We spent a weekend up at Elm sledding with friends from church. It was beautfiul, sunny and warmish. The kids had a fabulous time. I forgot my camera and Colin took loads of pictures but didn't have a chip in his so I stole some pics off my friend's blog (thanks)! The sledding was 4km (2miles) long and took about 15 minutes. George cruised down so fast! Then we took the gondola back up the mountain. We stayed in a chalet up on the mountain. The food was delicious and the activities were amazing. What a wonderful weekend of beatiful sunshine, snow and friends!
