Happy Canadian Thanksgiving, book peeps! After this trying year, I've been reflecting on the things I'm grateful for in 2020. A few things come to mind. Above all, the continued good health of my family (touch wood). The wonderful gift of our daughter who will make her grand entrance in March. And, while launching a... Continue Reading →
I know what you're thinking: "Anita, that isn't a picture of cupcakes. You do know what cupcakes are, don't you?" Allow me to explain... I baked this cake for my lovely sister's birthday which we celebrated a couple of weekends ago. The recipe hails from my latest culinary obsession, Oh She Glows Every Day, the newest cook...

Hi there! Wowzers, this is embarrassing... So, I took a blog hiatus that was suppose to last for the summer. I was crown-deep in revisions and far down the creative well and just plain busy. (Who isn't? I know.) Well, summer very quickly slipped into fall and fall into winter and now it's 2017?!!! It... Continue Reading →
Hi again! Time to update this post. :-) The reading was last night and it was a lot of fun. It was a pleasure to meet Ann, and a thrill to finally read with my friend Sonia. We read, we had a good Q&A...there was even a little belly dancing! (Yours truly tapped out... Continue Reading →
Happy May 2-4, everybody! Canadians get pretty excited about this long weekend, which technically is to celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday, but that most of us see as the kick-off to summer - patio, outdoor concerts, beaches, camping, barbecues, cottaging! (I could go on, ha ha.) It's as if all of our pent-up cabin fever gets... Continue Reading →
Happy Mother's Day! Sorry for being a little AWOL, blog friends, I'm not sure where the days have been going lately. I pinch myself whenever I see the calendar on my phone and think, "May? Really?!" I suppose I've been busy with writing and life, but welcome to adulthood, right? ;-) Never too busy, though,... Continue Reading →

Hi everybody, I'm back! :-) Wow, what a whirlwind. A week definitely flies by quickly but I still managed to fit in quite a bit of fun and cross off some of the things on my to-do/to-see list. Not everything though, so we'll have to leave the rest for next time. I'm not the best... Continue Reading →

Lynne's blog is full of tasty inspiration, and she's a lovely person, so I hope you have a chance to visit with her for a while. :-) I'm a bit of a quote nerd, actually. I... Continue Reading →
Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! My little nephew's motto for the day is my favourite: "Kiss me, I'm Indish!" A witty wink to his multicultural heritage. Those of you who are friends of the blog know about my reluctance to bake bread. I went through a bread maker phase...that was about a year ago and... Continue Reading →
