Late night partying, men in cowboy hats, and the smell of manure is in the air. [I swear when you grow up surrounded by the stuff, it doesn’t bother you at all]. Although we don’t join the Calgary Stampede festivities anymore, it’s hard not to miss out on the action from afar. [source] The Calgary…
Every time I step foot outside after around 3pm, I smell barbecues. Everyone’s out on their deck, enjoying the sunshine, a juicy burger, and an ice cold beer. Sadly, because of all the yard work we’ve had to do [aka pay for], there will be no barbecue purchasing for awhile. For this reason, I’ve been…
So, I pulled my groin running last week. If it’s not one injury it’s another, I tell ya. The pain comes and goes, but the inflammation is ridiculous. On top of using arnica gel and epsom salt baths, I’ve been adding flax oil [omega-3] in absolutely everything to help with my overall inflammation. Any additional…
What a weekend! The weather was gorgeous, we have trees in our backyard now, our neighborhood barbecue was a success, and… my computer’s fixed! Thankfully no files were lost. So, the minute my computer was up and running, I did a backup of everything. I now have everything online on Dropbox. I was drawn to…
What an eventful day yesterday! I’d taken the day off from work to catch up on things but ended up having to deal with a major computer problem for a huge chunk of the day. At 12pm, I found myself in my car, rushing into the city with my damaged computer tower nestled in the…

Nothing like a cool treat after a long day, right? Yesterday was my last day at the office for 2 weeks, so there was countless things to wrap up. Not only that, but I had an insanely long list of things to do before I could go home: pick up wholesale grains [one of my…
Do you people watch? If you haven’t tried it, you must! It’s a great way to pass time, especially at the airport! I was in line at the post office yesterday and as always, was observing the people around me. There was a lady that kept checking her phone for what must have been an…
I feel like the box should say: DANGER contains chocolate. When Alina at Enjoy Life told me they were sending me a couple of their new allergy-friendly chocolate products, I jumped for joy, then quickly started planning a recipe. As soon as the box came in the mail, I opened the bag inconspicuously and grabbed…
There’s a couple of things I look for in a good snack recipe, naturally sweet freezable. So I can have snacks for weeks to come! on hand ingredients. I have so many goji berries, it’s unreal. fool proof. So what if I added a couple extra dates? The recipe turned out fine. The same cannot…
