What love means to 4-8 year olds
What Love means to a 4-8 year old: A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ’What does love mean?’ The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined  See what you think: ‘When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands...

2013 - WEEKLY CHALLENGE/TRY #8 - Amigurumi
So after coming across All About Ami I’ve been knitting and crocheting… well I figure I should maybe take on an Amigurumi.  I’m not experienced enough to try one of Stephanie’s patterns, but I found an easy octopus one on Ravelry. Now I figured out a way to do these without having to buy Poly Fiber… I stuffed this little guy with left over yarn from other...

Each month they hand-pick trendsetting new nail colors, cult faves and cutting-edge beauty products that are just right for you. If you are like me and are commitment shy, they got a solution for you as well. YOU get to decide how often to receive your Julep Maven box,...

After coming across All about Ami I started a new little hobby. Crocheting. Once upon a time, I did take a $10 for 10 knitting class at the West Vancouver Senior Center…mom thought it was a great deal, and a great way to keep me busy for an hour or so once a week. Well it’s been YEARS since I’ve picked up  needle, but I have never done Crocheting before..Can’t be all that...

Cioppino – Seafood Stew →
Just made this tonight… SO GOOD… but word of advice, there’s no need to salt and pepper the broth when you’ve already salt and peppered the prawns, scallops, and fish.  I also had hard time finding clam juice, so I just doubled up on my chicken stock.

2013 - WEEKLY CHALLENGE/TRY #4 - Japanese...
Actually this is my 2nd try in making the Japanese Cheesecake. The first time I tried to make the Japanese Cheesecake, I used this recipe from the Cookbook Chronicles and failed miserably! The Cookbook Chronicles’ recipe doesn’t call for flour and I questioned it before giving the recipe a try… Let’s just say the cake came out soggy (and after spending hours on it, I was...

2013 - WEEKLY CHALLENGE/TRY #3 - Puzzling
WHAT did my boyfriend’s mom get me into? During the holidays, his mom decided to pull out a puzzle of some castle in Scotland? I have no clue where. And every other night, I was invited over to help… We’d sit there for a couple hours staring into the area where the sky’s suppose to be, or figuring out if this leafy looking piece belongs to this tree or that tree. Anyway,...
