Life a Life You Love!
Hi everyone. I'm still not used to small-space living, but I'm getting the hang of it. I did some more tweaking a couple of weekends ago. Organizing is a never-ending process - you think you have it down and then the process of living gets in the way and, before long, it's a complete shambles … Continue reading Small Space Re-organizing
I must confess that I have never, ever - never, ever - mown (mowed?) the lawn in my entire life! Hard to believe, but true. There's always been someone around to do it for me - father, husband, sons ... But hubby has been in Vancouver on a course for last 9 weeks and the … Continue reading May in My Garden
Hi everyone! It's been a few weeks. Things have been more than a little hectic around here. Buuut, I'm getting back on track now. I'm afraid to say that I fell off the wagon in terms of exercise. With the warmer weather, I've (re)started walking for 30 minutes a day along the sea wall in Sechelt … Continue reading My (Almost) Vegetarian Life

The snow that we had last week has all gone now and my bulbs don't seem any worse for wear. The buds on the trees and shrubs are still, well, budding. Unless it stays unusually cold, … Continue reading March in Our Garden
Hi Guys. The comfort food last week seemed to do the trick - we're feeling almost normal again 🙂 I haven't even been near the scale last week as 'comfort food' also included a couple of bags of chips while watching a movie or two, not to mention the chocolate. I think we all need … Continue reading My (Almost) Vegetarian Life
I missed the last couple of weeks - this house has been sick, so only Chicken Noodle Soup and Whisky hot toddies were on the menu! We seem to be recovering, but are still hankering for comfort food, so this week's menu is just that. Monday: Turkey/Lasagna Soup. This isn't exactly "soup" per se, … Continue reading My (Almost) Vegetarian Life
I lost 2 lbs last week! Yay! I'm feeling great and sleeping well, so that's good too! This week's jar salads are Cobb Salad in a Jar with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing. I also used the Buttermilk Ranch Dressing to dip my vege snacks into :). One of the ingredients in the salad was Blue Cheese … Continue reading My (Almost) Vegetarian Life

At the moment, the space where we plan to have our vegetable garden looks like this Our landlord is building … Continue reading February In Our Garden
