A Birthday and an Exam

Yesterday was my Birthday.  It was the first (and I hope only) birthday that I spent glued to my desk – studying. You see, today was my first CPA exam section. It sucked. I’m not going to sugar coat it, it royally sucked. But it’s done, and honestly, it won’t bother me if I failed […]

Shower Solutions

One of the biggest things I hate about our house – the master bathroom shower. You can see a picture of it in our House Tour page.  It’s ugly, and quite tiny. When we first moved in, hubby tried to take a shower in there.  Immediately afterwards I knew it wasn’t going to work out […]

Early Birthdays

Birthdays are pretty awesome.   At least I think so.  Ask my husband, and he’ll beg you to forget he has a birthday.  I often wonder why he hates them so much, but alas, I just don’t know. You won’t find me complaining about it though. Our days of birth are less than a month […]

Jaye's Favourite Sandwich

Sandwiches are awesome, and so very versatile.   I love them.  Love them so much, that I remember responding once to the question “What’s your favourite food?” with “Sandwiches!”. Seriously. I also won a sandwich contest once for my peanut butter, banana and honey combo.  Yup, I was famous.  Once. This sandwich though, this one […]

Breakfast For Dinner

Some nights I’m too lazy to make dinner.  So I make breakfast instead. Our usual Breakfast For Dinner meal consists of pancakes.  Once in a while I’ll make eggs: scrambled, on toast with cheese.  Nothing fancy though.  The most outrageous thing we’ll do is throw some crazy toppings on the pancakes. Pancakes were the plan […]

Midnight Tea Party

As previously mentioned, I’ve been trying to step up my studying a notch or two. There have been a few snags in my Quilt-O-Studying recently. I’ll be the first to admit, I don’t study well.  Who knows how I got through school with such high marks – because I really can’t study.  I might have […]

Design-A-Room

If you’ve seen my house tour, then you know that we have a bundle of barely used, completely un-furnished, un-decorated, un-loved rooms.  They are dying to have some attention.  Well, we can ignore the hubby’s office, it needs attention, but it’s not an emergency or anything.  The big deal is the guest room and the […]

Commitment Fail

I’m bad at commitments.   At least I admit it. It’s not so much that I’m bad at keeping promises to people, and committing when I say I will (hey, I am happily married after all)…it’s more that, I have a problem sticking to things I start – on a personal level. Let’s start with […]

Breakfast of Champions

I have a confession I’ve been indulging for breakfast lately… The real secret though, is that this indulgent “dessert” looking parfait, is actually packing more punch, more nutrients, and definitely more flavour than your morning yogurt parfait. Oh, and did I mention, it’s vegan? That’s my new favourite thing to say.  I’m testing it out. […]

A Basket That Delivers

I haven’t posted our co-op bounty for a few weeks.  That doesn’t mean we haven’t been getting them, just that I’ve been too lazy to post about it…and I figure that stuff is getting boring for you all. This morning hubby went for the pickup because I was stuck in bed with a migraine and […]
