Hello! What a wonderful time to post my first blog; Happy Thanksgiving, to all my fellow Canadians! Turkey and pumpkin lattes. Stuffing and pumpkin lattes.

Well, I think you get my drift; pumpkin lattes are the bomb!

How many people, as children, are offered food or something sweet by an adult, when they become upset, or get injured? I have come to believe this is the start….
Communication. A subject that I keep thinking about over the last while. There is a lot of angles and parts to it, but I’ve been thinking about the importance of it. Can you imagine if anything living could not….
This is my favorite time of the year where we live with everything so green and flowers blooming. In about 2 or 2 1/2 months time the landscape will be turning brown from the heat of summer. Then there is the fact that Mother’s Day is in May….and the pampering that often happens from my “offspring”!

My apologies for not being real consistent with when I publish a blog post of late. Once again I am having to work around house renovations and that can throw my timing right “out the door”!
Saturday, I started working on that “Little Wooden Box,” I wrote about not too long ago, when I was asking for opinions on whether I should paint it or….
Back in the day, many young women use to use a cedar chest that was used to store items towards their wedding day and their future home. Such a cedar chest was bought by my mother and I have now inherited it. It sat in our basement for a long time until I realized that if I “breathed new life” into it that it could then….
One day my youngest child came home from school with a little wooden box that was made in Wood Shop class, as proud as could be and presented….
Here we are in a New Year with resolutions to do this, that, and whatever else. And to answer that unspoken question, yes, I have mine too. But lets not forget most of all to breathe, relax and enjoy every moment. As someone else has said, “It’s a new chapter with 365 pages in it. What are we going to put into it?” Good question!
