Pancake day or how I mangle another English tradition!

March 9, 2011 By 4 Comments

Up until this year I’ve always been a bit resis­tant to pan­cake day.  Mak­ing thin pan­cakes, driz­zling lemon on it and then sprin­kling sugar them just seemed odd.  I like my pan­cakes big and fluffy with lots of syrup.  With Squidge in school now and every­one mak­ing a big deal out of it I thought… [Con­tinue Reading]

In serious need of a detox!

I love the Christ­mas hol­i­day sea­son. The older Squidge gets the more I love it.  I remem­ber sit­ting on my BFF floor one Christ­mas watch­ing her won­der­ful fam­ily inter­act and enjoy­ing the time being together.  At the same time I was feel­ing lost and like I didn’t have a har­bor to tie up to and… [Con­tinue Reading]

The one where I’m thankful

Thanksgiving-2

I’m a lit­tle late with this one but then again I was a lit­tle late in cel­e­brat­ing so I guess it’s all good. On Sat­ur­day we cel­e­brated Thanks­giv­ing with the best bunch of friends a girl could ask for.  Even Wal who was a bit skep­ti­cal about the entire thing had a good time.  I man­aged… [Con­tinue Reading]

Yes­ter­day I watched Dis­patches on Chan­nel 4.  The pro­gram was about what is in your break­fast, but it also went into prod­uct label­ing and how mis­lead­ing they are.  To say that I was shocked by the pro­gram would be an under­state­ment.  As a stay at home mom we live a very 1950’s life, or so… [Con­tinue Reading]

This week­end Wal and I had a really great ‘date’ night.  We spent the entire night talk­ing and drink­ing wine.  No, we didn’t go any­where.  Wal goes out a cou­ple times a week for a quick pint or two at the pub around the cor­ner.  The only prob­lem with this is that he doesn’t really… [Con­tinue Reading]

Do you know Christ­mas day is 4 days away?!??!  I’m in the midst of bak­ing and wrapping.  The kitchen is wrecked and the livin­goom looks like a bomb has gone off.  Aah the joys of the follow-up to Christ­mas.  I’m lov­ing every last sec­ond of it.  Christ­mas is all about chil­dren.  It’s some­thing I was keenly aware… [Con­tinue Reading]
